Study Notes
Gases
- A gas is a substance without defined boundaries, quickly filling any container.
- Gases are one of the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
Gas Laws
Temperature
- Measures the degree of hotness of an object.
- Two scales used:
- Kelvin (K): Absolute zero is -273°C.
- Celsius (°C): Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.
- Conversion: Add 273 to Celsius to get Kelvin
Pressure
- Force exerted by a gas per unit area.
- Measured in Newtons per square meter (N/m²), also known as pascals (Pa).
- Standard atmospheric pressure: 1 x 10⁵ Pa or 100,000 Pa or 100kPa.
- Common units include kPa (kilopascals) and hPa (hectopascals).
Volume
- Same as the volume of the container holding the gas.
- Measured in cubic meters (m³), cubic centimeters (cm³), or liters (L).
- 1 litre = 1000 cm³ = 1 cubic decimeter (dm³)
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
- Standard temperature: 273 K
- Standard pressure: 100,000 Pa
Boyle's Law
- At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
- pV = k (constant)
- This means as pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa, if the temperature remains constant.
- The graph of pressure versus inverse volume is a straight line through the origin.
Charles' Law
- At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
- V/T = k (constant)
- This means as temperature increases (in Kelvin), volume increases, and vice versa, if the pressure remains constant.
- The graph of volume versus temperature is a straight line that does not pass through the origin; however, extending the line gives the x-intercept at -273°C.
Combined Gas Law
- Combines Boyle's and Charles' laws into a single equation for relating pressure, volume, and temperature changes.
- (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂
Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes
- In a reaction between gases, the volumes of reacting gases (and the products) are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
- This only applies when the reaction is measured at the same temperature and pressure.
Avogadro's Law
- Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
- At standard temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters.
###Kinetic Theory of Gases
- Gases consist of tiny particles in constant, random motion.
- No forces of attraction or repulsion between the particles.
- Particle volume is negligible compared to the space between them.
- Collisions between particles are perfectly elastic.
- The average kinetic energy is proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
- Ideal gases perfectly follow these assumptions. Real gases deviate due to intermolecular forces and particle volumes.
Equation of State for an Ideal Gas
- PV = nRT
- P = pressure
- V = volume
- n = number of moles
- R = ideal gas constant
- T = absolute temperature (Kelvin)
