Study Notes
Gases Chapter Overview
- Gases are one of the three basic phases of matter
- Their properties are often predictable and similar, regardless of the specific gas
- Gases have no fixed shape or volume, filling whatever container they occupy
- They are easily compressed and expanded
- They have extremely low density compared to liquids or solids
- Gases readily mix together to form solutions
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Gases consist of tiny, constantly moving particles
- Collisions between gas particles and container walls are elastic (no energy loss)
- Gas particles are widely separated, with particle size negligible compared to the space between them
- There are no attractive or repulsive forces between gas particles
- The average speed of gas particles is directly related to the gas's temperature
Pressure
- Pressure is the force exerted by gas particles on container walls
- Measured in units like Pascals (Pa), atmospheres (atm), millimeters of mercury (mmHg), or torr
- At sea level, atmospheric pressure is approximately 14.7 lb/in², or 101,325 Pa
Boyle's Law
- Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature and amount
- P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Charles's Law
- Volume and absolute temperature of a gas are directly proportional at constant pressure and amount
- V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ (where T is in Kelvin)
Combined Gas Law
- Combines Boyle's and Charles's Laws into a single equation
- P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
Avogadro's Law
- Volume of a gas and the number of moles (amount) of gas are directly proportional at constant temperature and pressure
- V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
Ideal Gas Law
- A single equation relating pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of a gas
- PV = nRT
- R is the ideal gas constant (with values dependent on the units used for pressure, volume, temperature, and amount)
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- Total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas in the mixture
- Ptotal = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ +...
