Study Notes
Gas Laws
-
Ideal Gas Law: Describes the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the number of moles (n) of a gas. Expressed as PV = nRT, where R is the ideal gas constant. This law assumes gas particles have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces.
-
Boyle's Law: At constant temperature, pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. Mathematically, P1V1 = P2V2. As pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.
-
Charles's Law: At constant pressure, gas volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Mathematically, V1/T1 = V2/T2. Warmer temperatures lead to greater gas volumes, and vice versa. Temperature must be in Kelvin.
Gay-Lussac's Law
- Focuses on pressure-temperature relationship at constant volume.
- Pressure of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when volume is constant. Mathematically, P1/T1 = P2/T2.
- As temperature increases, pressure increases proportionally, and vice versa. Temperature must be in Kelvin.
Combined Gas Law
- Combines Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's laws.
- Describes the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas when the amount of gas remains constant.
- Mathematically, (P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- Applies to mixtures of gases.
- States that the total pressure of a mixture of non-reacting gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Mathematically, Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3...
- The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure that gas would exert if it occupied the entire volume alone.
- Important implication: The pressure exerted by each gas in a mixture is independent of the other gases present.
