Up, Up and Away with Gases

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)

used to describe behavior of gases, liquids and solids

• all matter is composed of small particles (molecules)• particles are in constant motion (kinetic energy – energy of motion)

• collisions between particles are elastic (no loss of KE)

gas

liquidsolid

Gas

weak attractive forces between particles, so particles spaced far apart relative to their size

frequent collisions due to constant, random motion

We will use the KMT to look at the following characteristics of gases:

• volume

• temperature

• pressure

Volume amount of space an object occupies

gas particles expand to fill volume of container

because of distance between particles gases can easily be compressed

Gases are “springy”

Temperature

related to the average kinetic energy of particles

Celsius scale

based on freezing and boiling points of water (0 oC – 100 oC)

Temperature scales

Kelvin scale

based on absolute zero (0 K) temperature at which particles are at lowest possible energy

no negative numbers

K = oC + 273

oC = K – 273

Temperature conversions

a. 110 oC to K

b. 303 K to oC

c. -2.45 oC to K

Pressure

force exerted over an area

Gas particles exert pressure when they collide with sides of container.

Barometer

device used to measure atmospheric pressure

Atmosphere forms an ocean of air above us.

Pressure units:

millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) / torr

pounds per square inch (psi)

atmospheres (atm)

kilopascals (kPa)

In order to compare two different gas samples, scientist define standard conditions.

Compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges!

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

0 oC 273 K

760 mm Hg (torr), 14.7 psi, 1.00 atm, 101.3 kPa(atmospheric pressure at sea level)

In marked contrast to solids and liquids, gas volumes change noticeably with small changes in pressure and temperature.

Gas laws

simple mathematical relationships between the volume, temperature, pressure, and amount of a gas

Ideal gas

particles have mass but no volume; no attractive forces between particles

Most gases behave asideal gases except underthe conditions of:

1) very high pressure

2) very low temperature

Robert Boyle

Boyle’s Law(volume and pressure)

The volume of a fixed amount of gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure.

P1V1 = P2V2

Every breath I take . . .

As the diaphragm contracts and flattens, chest cavity enlarges. Volume increases and pressure decreases (Boyle’s law.) This creates a vacuum, which pulls air into the lungs. Note: temperature is not kept completely constant.

Oxygen is collected in a 5.00 L glass bulb at a pressure of 740 mmHg. It is then pumped into an evacuated container having a volume of 1.50 L. What is the pressure of the gas?Answer: 2 500 mmHg

An air-filled balloon has a volume of 0.500 L at sea level (standard pressure.) What is the volume of the balloon at the top of a mountain where atmospheric pressure is 745 mm Hg?

Answer: 0.510 L

Jacques Charles French scientist early balloonist

Charles’s Law(volume and temperature)

The volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature at constant pressure.

As air inside balloon is heated, volume increases (Charles’s law.) Keep heating and some air spills out the bottom. Less air inside makes balloon lighter and lifts off ground.

Answer: 7 oC

Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac

French chemist and physicist

Gay-Lussac’s Law: (pressure and temperature)

The pressure of a fixed amount of gas varies directly with the kelvin temperature when the volume remains constant.

Avogadro’s principle

Equal volume of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles.
