Study Notes

Chapter 7: Gases

Gases are composed of small molecules in constant, random motion.
The volume of the gas particle is insignificant compared to the volume of the gas.
Forces between the gas particles are negligible, except when the particles collide.
Molecular collisions are perfectly elastic; no energy is lost during collisions.
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
Gas pressure is the sum of forces exerted by gas particles impacting the surface, divided by the area of the surface.
Units of pressure include atmospheres (atm), millimeters of mercury (mmHg), bars (bar), pascals (Pa), and torr.
Standard conversions between pressure units are available.

Section 7.1 Gas Pressure

A gas particle striking a surface exerts a force against the surface.
Gas pressure is determined by the sum of forces exerted by gas particles impacting the surface, divided by the surface area.

Section 7.2 Boyle's Law

Boyle's Law: The volume of a gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure.
As volume decreases, gas pressure increases, and vice versa.

Section 7.2 Boyle's Law - Calculations

If you change the pressure of a gas sample from P1 to P2 at constant temperature, the volume will change from V1 to V2: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Section 7.3 Charles's Law

Charles's Law: At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.
As temperature increases, volume increases, and vice versa

Section 7.3 Charles's Law - Calculations

If you change the temperature of a gas sample from T1 to T2 at constant pressure, the volume will change from V1 to V2: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂.
Temperatures must be in Kelvin

Section 7.11 Movement of Gas Particles

The root-mean-square speed (v_rms) of a gas is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature (T) divided by the molar mass (M).
v_rms = √(3RT/M)

Section 7.12 Real Gases

Ideal gas behavior assumptions fail at high pressures and low temperatures. Ideal gas law and calculations are not applicable.
The van der Waals equation is a more accurate model for real gases as it accounts for intermolecular forces and the finite volume of gas particles.
