Section 3.7—Gas Behavior How does the behavior of gases affect airbags?
What is PRESSURE?
Force of gas particles running into a surface.
Pressure is measured by a Barometer
If pressure is molecular collisions with the container…
As # of moles increase, pressure increases Think about blowing up a balloon!
Pressure and Moles (# of Molecules)
As number of molecules increases, there will be more molecules to collide with the wall
• Collisions between molecules and the wall increase
Pressure increases
# of Gas Particles vs. Pressure
Pressure & Volume
If pressure is molecular collisions with the container…
As volume increases, pressure decreases. Think about how your lungs work! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6-oyxnkZC0
As volume increases, molecules can travel farther before hitting the wall• Collisions between molecules & the wall decrease
Pressure decreases
What is “Temperature”?
Temperature – measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules
Energy due to motion(Related to how fast the molecules are moving)
As temperature increases, Average Kinetic Energy Increases and Molecular motion increases
Pressure and Temperature
If temperature is related to molecular motion…and pressure is molecular collisions with the container…
As temperature increases, pressure increases
As temperature increases, molecular motion increases
• Collisions between molecules & the wall increase
Pressure increases
Volume and Temperature
If temperature is related to molecular motion…and volume is the amount of space the gas occupies…
As temperature increases, volume increases Think of liquid nitrogen and the balloon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEpxrGWep4E
As temperature increases, molecular motion increases• molecules will move farther away from each other Volume increases
Pressure In Versus Out
Example: A bag of chips is bagged at sea level. What happens if the bag is then brought up to the top of a mountain.
A container will expand or contract until the pressure inside equals atmospheric pressure outside
The internal pressure is higher than the external pressure.
The bag will expand in order to reduce the internal pressure.
The internal pressure of the bag at low altitude is high
At high altitude there is lower pressureHigher pressure
Lowerpressure
Lower pressure
CanExplodes!
When Expansion Isn’t Possible
Example: An aerosol can is left in a car trunk in the summer. What happens?
Rigid containers cannot expand
The internal pressure is higher than the external pressure.
The can is rigid—it cannot expand, it explodes!
The temperature inside the can begins to rise.
As temperature increases, pressure increases.
Higher pressure
Lowerpressure

Kinetic Molecular Theory(KMT): explains gas behavior based upon
the motion of molecules based on an ideal gas
IDEAL gases are IMAGINARY gases that follow the assumptions of the KMT
1
Assumptions of the KMTAll gases are made of atoms or molecules that are in constant, rapid, random motion
Gas particles are not attracted nor repelled from one another ***All gas particle collisions are perfectly elastic (no kinetic energy is lost to other forms)
The volume of gas particles is so small compared to the space between the particles, that the volume of the particle itself is insignificant***
2

5
The temperature of a gas is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles
So what is a “REAL” gas?Real gases, (like nitrogen), will eventually condense into a liquid when the temperature gets too low or the pressure gets too high BECAUSE:
Assumption #3
Assumption #5
Gas particles do have attractions and repulsions towards one another
Gas particles do take up space
Real Gases Deviate from Ideal Gas Behavior when at high pressure
The gas molecules are compressed making the volume they take up more significant than if they were spread out
Real Gases Deviate from Ideal Gas Behavior when at low temperature.
The lower kinetic energy causes the molecules to move slower and ATTRACTIVE FORCES that really exist start to take effect---------------------------
Polar gases (HCl) deviate more than nonpolar gases (He or H2
At Lower Temperature
Gas Movement: Effusion vs Diffusion
Effusion –gas escapes from a tiny hole in the container
Effusion is why balloons deflate over time!
Diffusion –gas moves across a space from high to low concentration
Diffusion is the reason we can smell perfume across the room
Effusion, Diffusion & Particle Mass
How are particle size (mass) and these concepts related?
As mass of the particles increases, rate of effusion and diffusion is lowered.
As particle size (mass) increases, the particles move slower it takes them more time to find the hole or to go across the room
Rate of Diffusion & Particle Mass
Watch as larger particles take longer to get to your nose

Section 3.8-3.9 —Gas Laws
How can we calculate Pressure, Volume and Temperature of our airbag?
Pressure Units
Several units are used when describing pressure
Unit Symbol
atmospheres atm
Pascals, kiloPascals
millimeters of mercury
pounds per square inch
Pa, kPa
mm Hg
psi
1 atm = 101300 Pa = 101.3 kPa = 760 mm Hg = 14.7 psi
Conversions Between Different Pressure Units
1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101.3 kPa
Examples
1.Convert 654 mm Hg to atm
2.Convert 879 mm Hg to kPa
3.Convert 15.6 atm to kPa
654 mmHg x 1atm = 760 mmHg
.861 atm
879 mmHg x 101.3 Kpa = 760 mmHg
1.16 Kpa
15.6 atm x 101.3 Kpa = 1atm
1580 Kpa
Temperature Unit used in Gas Laws
Kelvin (K)– temperature scale with an absolute zero
Temperatures cannot fall below an absolute zero
KC 273
Examples1.Convert 15.6 °C into K
2. Convert 234 K into °C
15.6 + 273 = K 288.6 289 K
°C + 273 = 234 -39 °C
Standard Temperature & Pressure (STP)
the conditions of:1 atm (or the equivalent in another unit) 0°C (273 K)
Problems often use “STP” to indicate quantities…don’t forget this “hidden” information when making your list!

Dalton’s Law
Dalton’s Law
• Each gas in a mixture exerts its own pressure called a partial pressure = P1, P2….
• Total Pressure = PT
Example: A gas mixture is made up of oxygen(2.3 atm) and nitrogen(1.7 atm) gases. What is the total pressure?
....321 PPPPT
PT = 2.3 atm + 1.7 atm
4.0 atm
2KClO3 (s) 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g)
PT = PO + PH O2 2
Modified Dalton’s Law
When a gas is Collected over water, the total pressure of the mixture collectedis a combination of water vapor and the gas you are collecting!
Modified Dalton’s Law
Example: What is the pressure of the water vapor if the total pressure of the flask is 17.5 atm and the pressure of the oxygen gas is 16.1 atm?
watergas PPPT
17.5 = 16.1 atm + PH2O
