Study Notes
Properties Distinguishing Gases
- Gases expand to occupy any container and have no fixed volume.
Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
- KMT explains gas behavior regarding temperature and pressure.
Basic Assumptions of Kinetic Theory
- Gas particles are considered to have no volume.
- Particles are in constant, random, straight-line motion.
- Collisions between particles are perfectly elastic.
- There are no attractive or repulsive forces between gas molecules.
- Average kinetic energy relates directly to temperature.
Real Gas Behavior
- Real gases possess volume and exhibit forces of attraction between particles, contradicting KMT assumptions.
Ideal Gas Conditions
- Near-ideal gas behavior occurs at high temperatures, low pressure, with non-polar molecules, and small particle sizes.
Compressibility of Gases
- Gas particles have large relative distances, resulting in considerable empty space and thus high compressibility.
- Compressibility measures the volume decrease of matter under pressure.
Gas Characteristics Variables
- Key variables defining gas characteristics include volume (L), temperature (K), amount of moles (n), and pressure (atm, kPa).
Gas Pressure Mechanism
- Gas pressure arises from particles colliding with the walls of their container.
Pressure Measurement Devices
- A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, while a manometer measures the pressure of a specific gas.
Effects of Temperature on Gas Behavior
- Increasing temperature raises the average kinetic energy of gas particles, leading to faster motion.
- Faster particles strike container walls more energetically, resulting in higher pressure.
Average Kinetic Energy Relation
- Average kinetic energy of gas particles directly correlates to their Kelvin temperature; as one increases, so does the other.
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
- STP is defined as either 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atm or 273 K and 101.325 kPa.
Pressure Units
- The SI unit for pressure is kilopascals (kPa), while pounds per square inch (psi) is commonly used in the U.S.
Atmospheric Pressure Conversion Factors
- 760 torr = 1 atm
- 14.7 psi = 1 atm
- 760 mmHg = 1 atm
- 101.325 kPa = 1 atm
Temperature Conversion Factors
- To convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C): ºC = (5/9)(ºF - 32)
- To convert Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K): K = °C + 273
