Study Notes

Gases

A gas is a substance with no defined boundaries. It rapidly fills any container it's placed in.
Gases are one of the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).

Gas Laws

Temperature

Temperature measures hotness.
Two common scales:
- Kelvin: 0 K is absolute zero (-273°C)
- Celsius: Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.
Converting between scales: Add 273 to Celsius to get Kelvin.

Pressure

Pressure is the force exerted by a gas per unit area.
Units:
- Newton per square meter (N/m²) or Pascal (Pa)
- Kilopascal (kPa) = 1000 Pa
- Hectopascal (hPa) = 100 Pa
Normal atmospheric pressure: 100,000 Pa.

Volume

Volume is the space occupied by a gas. It's the same as the container's volume.
Units:
- Cubic metre (m³)
- Cubic centimetre (cm³)
- Litre (L) = 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

Standard temperature: 273 K
Standard pressure: 100,000 Pa

Boyle's Law

At constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
pV = k (where p is pressure, V is volume, and k is a constant)

Charles' Law

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.
V/T = k (where V is volume, T is temperature, and k is a constant)

Combined Gas Law

Combines Boyle's and Charles' Laws.
(P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes

In reactions involving gases, the volumes of reacting gases and the products are in ratios of small whole numbers at the same temperature and pressure.

Avogadro's Law

Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
Molar volume: at STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres

Kinetic Theory of Gases

Gases are made of constantly moving particles.
There are no forces between particles (ideally).
Particle volume is negligible compared to the space between them.
Collisions are perfectly elastic.
Average kinetic energy is proportional to temperature.
Equation PV=nRT, using units of Pascal for pressure, cubic meters for volume, moles as quantity of gas, the universal gas constant R and Kelvin for temperature.

Measurements of Relative Molecular Mass

Experimental method for determining the relative molecular mass of volatile liquids.
- Carefully measure a known amount of liquid in a conical flask.
- Heat the flask until all the liquid vaporizes while maintaining a constant temperature and pressure.
- Cool the flask and record the new mass of the contents.
- (Mathematical calculations follow to find the relative molecular mass)
