Study Notes
Introduction to Gases
- This chapter outlines the properties of gases, focusing on the air we breathe.
- The chapter covers topics from the properties of a gas, ideal gas law, stoichiometry calculations and gas density.
- Various types of pressure units and their conversions are explained.
Properties of a Gas
- Gases do not have a definite shape or volume.
- Gases uniformly fill any container.
- Gases exert pressure on their surroundings.
- Gas volume changes with temperature and pressure.
- Gases mix in any proportion (miscible).
- Gases have much lower density than liquids or solids.
Pressure
- Pressure is the ratio of force to surface area.
- Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the gases surrounding Earth on its surface.
- SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).
- 1 standard atmosphere (atm) = 101,325 Pa
- 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr
Converting Pressure Units
- A table provides conversions between different pressure units (atm, mmHg, torr, Pa, kPa, bar, mbar, psi, inches of mercury).
Elevation and Atmospheric Pressure
- Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation. (Graph displays this relationship)
Measurement of Pressure
- A barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
- A barometer's operation relies on the balance between gravity pulling mercury down and atmospheric pressure pushing it up in an evacuated tube.
- A manometer measures gas pressures; it involves a balance of forces based on the height of the mercury column .
Ideal Gas Law
- The ideal gas law is PV = nRT.
- R is the universal gas constant (0.08206 L•atm/mol•K).
- P is pressure in atm.
- V is volume in liters.
- n is number of moles.
- T is temperature in Kelvin.
- The ideal gas law allows calculating gas properties when more than one variable changes.
Combined Gas Law
- Boyle's Law: PV = constant
- Charles's Law: V/T = constant
- Avogadro's Law: V/n = constant
- Combining these laws gives PV/nT = constant (R)
- If n is constant, the combined gas law is P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
Reference Points for Gases
- Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP):
- P = 1 atm, T = 273 K (0.0°C)
- Molar Volume:
- Volume occupied by one mole of an ideal gas at STP = 22.4 L
Stoichiometry Calculations: Gases
- Stoichiometry calculations for gases depend on mole ratios of reactants and products.
- Moles of a gas can be calculated from the ideal gas law if pressure, volume, and temperature are known (n = PV/RT).
Gas Density
- Density can be calculated from molar mass (M) and molar volume (V/n).
- The formula for density is d = m/V = PM/RT
- When using this formula, use the units of pressure in atm and temperature in Kelvin.
- Density is often expressed in grams per liter (g/L)
Buoyancy: Gas Densities
- Buoyancy depends on differences in gas densities.
- Gases with lower densities than air are buoyant. (e.g., Helium)
- Gases with higher densities than air are not buoyant. (e.g., Carbon Dioxide)
- Density is affected by molar mass and temperature.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- For a mixture of gases in a container, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases: Ptotal = P₁ + P₂ + ...
- Pressure depends on the total number of moles, not the identity of the gases.
Mole Fraction and Partial Pressure
- Mole fraction (X) is the ratio of the moles of a component (nx) to the total moles (ntotal) in a mixture: Xx = nx/ ntotal
- Partial pressure (Px) of a component is given by: Px =XxPtotal
Collecting a Gas over Water
- When gases are collected over water, the collected pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of the collected gas and the partial pressure of water vapor (Ptotal = Pgas + PH₂O)
Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
- Gas molecules have tiny volumes compared to the container volume.
- Gas molecules move constantly and randomly.
- Average kinetic energy is proportional to absolute temperature.
- Collisions between gas molecules and container walls are elastic.
- Gas molecules act independently.
Real vs. Ideal Gases
- Ideal gas assumptions are valid at STP but not at high pressure.
- At high pressures, gas volume and attractive forces between gas molecules become significant
- Real gas behavior deviates from the ideal gas law at high pressures and low temperatures.
Real Gases
- Van der Waals equation corrects for the deviations of real gases from ideal gas behavior.
- The equation for the van der Waals equation is (P + n²a/V²)(V - nb) = nRT, where:
- a compensates for intermolecular attractions
- b compensates for the volume of gas molecules
Corrections to the Ideal Gas Law
- A table provides van der Waals constants for various gases.
