Study Notes
Gas Pressure
- Pressure equals the force exerted per unit area by gas molecules on surfaces: Pressure = Force/Area.
- Pressure units include Pascal (Pa) which is equivalent to N/m², atmosphere (atm), mm Hg or torr, and bar.
Simple Gas Laws
- Boyle's Law: At constant temperature, gas volume is inversely proportional to pressure (P1V1 = P2V2).
- Charles's Law: At constant pressure, gas volume is directly proportional to temperature (V1/T1 = V2/T2).
- Avogadro's Law: At constant temperature and pressure, gas volume is directly proportional to the number of moles (V1/n1 = V2/n2).
Ideal Gas Law
- Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT.
- R (Ideal Gas Constant) = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K or 8.314 J/mol·K.
- Molar mass (MM) = m/n, where m is mass and n is the number of moles.
- Density (d) = m/V = (P * MM) / (RT).
Mixtures of Gases and Partial Pressures
- Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures: The total pressure equals the sum of individual gas partial pressures (PT = P1 + P2 + P3 + ...).
- Partial pressure of a gas (Pi) = Xi * PT, where Xi (mole fraction) = ni/nT.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Gas particle size is negligibly small.
- Average kinetic energy of a particle is proportional to temperature in Kelvins.
- Collisions between particles and container walls are completely elastic.
- PV = (1/3)nMu², where urms = √(u²).
- Average kinetic energy KE =(1/2)Mu² = (3/2)RT.
Root Mean Square Speed
- urms = √(3RT/M).
Graham's Law of Effusion
- The rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass: Rate A/Rate B = √(MB/MA).
Real Gases
- Real gases deviate from ideal behavior under high pressure and low temperature conditions.
