Study Notes
Chemistry Chapter 4: Gases
- Gases are substances with molecules that are far apart, having weak attractions compared to other states of matter.
- "Khaos" is a Greek word that gave rise to the term "gas," meaning emptiness or gap.
- Gas molecules move randomly in all directions, colliding with each other and container walls.
- Gases can be classified as monoatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic, based on elemental composition.
- Noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon) are monoatomic, while oxygen and hydrogen are diatomic examples.
- Gases like methane and carbon dioxide are examples of polyatomic gases.
- Gases have various uses, such as in photosynthesis, vehicles, power plants, and kitchens.
- The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) of gases describes the behavior of gas molecules.
- Gas molecules are in constant, random motion. The volume of gas particles is negligible.
- There are no attractive or repulsive forces between ideal gas molecules.
- Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
- Pressure is force applied per unit area, measured in Pascals (Pa), atmospheres (atm), kilopascals (kPa), or torr.
- 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 14.7 psi = 101325 Pa
- A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, and a manometer measures gas pressure.
Postulates of Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Molecules: Gases consist of tiny particles called molecules (e.g., monoatomic, diatomic, polyatomic).
- Volume: The actual volume of a gas is negligible compared to its container volume.
- Movement: Gas molecules are in continuous random motion, colliding with each other and the container walls.
- Mean Free Path: The average distance a gas molecule travels between collisions is its mean free path.
- Pressure: Gas molecules exert pressure on the container walls after collisions.
- Forces: There are no attractive or repulsive forces between ideal gas molecules.
- Energy: Average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
Absolute Zero (Definition)
- The temperature at which the volume of an ideal gas becomes zero.
Boyle's Law
- At constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
Charles's Law
- At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
Avogadro's Law
- At constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- The total pressure of a mixture of non-reacting gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas.
Graham's Law of Diffusion and Effusion
- The rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
Liquefaction of Gases
- Converting a gas into a liquid by lowering the temperature or increasing pressure (or both).
- Linde's method uses the Joule-Thomson effect, allowing gases to cool under pressure as they expand.
Plasma (Fourth State of Matter)
- A state of matter consisting of positive ions, electrons, and neutral particles, having equal amounts of positive and negative charges.
- Found in stars, lightning, and fluorescent lights.
- Useful in various applications, including electronic devices, medical processes, industrial applications, and lighting.
