Study Notes
Gas Pressure
- Gases do not have definite volumes and expand to fill the entire volume of its container
- Pressure is force exerted per unit area
- Several units are used to measure pressure like atmospheres (atm), mm Hg, Pascal (Pa), and kilopascal (kPa)
- Standard temperature and pressure (STP) is a specific set of temperature and pressure conditions for a gas
Boyle's Law
- Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature
Charles's Law
- The volume of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure
- Gas laws problems must ALWAYS be worked in Kelvin
The Combined Gas Law
- This relationship is derived from a combination of other gas laws to demonstrate the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature of a sample of gas.
Avogadro's Law
- The volume of a gas is proportional to the number of molecules or moles of the gas present at fixed pressure and temperature
Ideal Gas Law
- Ideal gas law describes the relationship between the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas
- R has several possible sets of units. It is easiest to always use the same value for gas laws and make sure the units of P, V, n, and T all match.
- The formula of Ideal gas law: PV=nRTPV = nRTPV=nRT
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
- The pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases in a mixture
- Partial pressures can be calculated based on the mole fraction of the gas.
Gases in Chemical Reactions
- Stoichiometry always is about moles
- Use the ideal gas law to determine moles of gas present
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
- Kinetic-molecular theory provides connections between the observed macroscopic properties of gases, the gas law equation, and the behavior of gas molecules on a microscopic scale
- Five postulates of the kinetic molecular theory:
- Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion.
- The volume of the particles is negligible compared to the volume of the gas.
- There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the gas particles.
- Collisions between gas particles and between gas particles and the container walls are perfectly elastic. The energy lost by the particles during a collision is negligible
- The average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the absolute temperature in Kelvin.
- Higher temperature and lower molar mass result in higher speed
Movement of Gas Particles
- The root mean square speed, vrms, is the velocity of a particles possessing the average KE in a gas sample of known molar mass.
