Boyle's Law
Boyle's Law
States the relationship between the volume (V) and pressure (P) of a gas when temperature (T) and the number of moles (n) are constant. The volume and pressure are inversely proportional, meaning that as pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.

Study Notes
Gases
- Factors affecting gas behavior:
- Temperature (T) (K) = (°C + 273)
- Pressure (P) (atm) = 760 torr (mmHg) or 1.01325 x 10⁵ Pa (N/m²)
- Volume (V) (liters)
- Number of moles (n) (moles) = (mass/molar mass)
- Gas laws:
- Boyle's law: Studies the relationship between volume (V) and pressure (P) when temperature (T) and the number of moles (n) are constant. Volume and pressure are inversely proportional (V α 1/P).
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ - Charles's law: Studies the relationship between volume (V) and temperature (T) when pressure (P) and the number of moles (n) are constant. Volume and temperature are directly proportional (V α T). V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
- Avogadro's law: Studies the relationship between volume (V) and the number of moles (n) when pressure (P) and temperature (T) are constant. Volume and the number of moles are directly proportional (V α n). n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂
- Ideal gas law: PV = nRT (where R is the ideal gas constant = 0.08206 liter⋅atm/mol⋅K)
- Combined gas law: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
- Boyle's law: Studies the relationship between volume (V) and pressure (P) when temperature (T) and the number of moles (n) are constant. Volume and pressure are inversely proportional (V α 1/P).
Corrosion
- Corrosion: Destruction of material properties due to reaction with the environment.
- Types of Corrosion:
- Chemical (dry, direct, gas)
- Electrochemical (indirect, wet)
- Electrochemical Cell:
- Electrolytic: Changes electrical energy to chemical energy (non-spontaneous)
- Galvanic: Changes chemical energy to electrical energy (spontaneous)
- Factors affecting corrosion:
- Air (moisture, humidity, temperature, pollution)
- Water (temperature, pollution, salts)
- Soil (pollution, salts, water, gases)
- Gas (acidity [SOx, NOx, H₂S])
- Activity series: A list of metals ordered by their tendency to lose electrons in a redox reaction. Those higher on the list are more easily oxidized (more active).
- Types of Corrosion:
- Uniform corrosion
- Atmospheric corrosion
- Factors affecting (type of environment, temperature, time, type of material, surface condition, oxide layer)
- Non-uniform corrosion
- Erosion corrosion:
- Factors affecting (turbulence, suspended solids, hardness)
- Stress corrosion cracking
- Factors affecting (time, stress, type of surrounding, type of metal)
- Erosion corrosion:
- Galvanic corrosion: Occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact in a corrosive environment.
- Factors affecting (potential difference, distance from contact point, area cathode/anode)
- Uniform corrosion
- Rusting of Iron:
- Anode: Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻
- Cathode: O₂ + 2H₂O + 4e⁻ → 4OH⁻
- Equation: 2Fe + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2Fe(OH)₂ (Further oxidation forms rust, Fe₂O₃•xH₂O)
Corrosion Protection
- Methods:
- Material Selection
- Design (avoid galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, atmospheric corrosion)
- Coating (anodic: more active metal covers a less active one; cathodic: less active metal covers a more active one)
Concrete and Cement
- Components: Sand, rock, water, and cement
- Cement:
- Clay (Al₂O₃ ⋅ 2SiO₂ ⋅ 2H₂O)
- Limestone (CaCO₃)
- Cement Manufacturing Process:
- Crushing limestone, grinding limestone (in a ball mill), storing and mixing limestone and clay in silos, preheating zone(400–700°C), calcination zone (700–1000°C), burning zone (1000–1500°C), adding Gypsum, cooling
Rotary Kiln
- Properties: Inclined at 3-6 degrees, rotates to prevent material coagulation, has a fan to remove unwanted gases
- Zones of Rotary Kiln:
- Drying zone (100-400°C): evaporates physical water
- Pre-heating zone (400–700°C): evaporates chemical water, decomposition of clay (Al₂O₃ ⋅ 2SiO₂)
- Calcination zone (700–1000°C): decomposition of limestone (CaCO₃) to lime (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂)
- Burning zone (1000–1500°C): reactions to form cement clinker
Fuel and Combustion
- Fuels: Materials that combust or react with oxygen (O₂) to produce energy.
- Main Combustion Reactions:
- Complete combustion: fuel + oxygen → carbon dioxide (CO₂) + energy
- Incomplete combustion: fuel + oxygen → carbon monoxide (CO) + energy (less energy and toxic)
- Factors affecting fuel choice: energy produced, toxicity of products.
- Importance of sulfur reduction in fuels: Sulfur forms toxic gases in combustion.
- Calculating theoretical and actual air supply: Equations involve percentages of elements in the fuel and reactions.
