Gases

Elements that exist as gases at 25°C and 1 atmosphere are:
- Hydrogen (H₂)
- Nitrogen (N₂)
- Oxygen (O₂)
- Fluorine (F₂)
- Chlorine (Cl₂)
- Helium (He)
- Neon (Ne)
- Argon (Ar)
- Krypton (Kr)
- Xenon (Xe)
- Radon (Rn)

Physical Characteristics of Gases

Gases assume the volume and shape of their containers.
Gases are the most compressible state of matter.
Gases will mix evenly and completely when confined to the same container.
Gases have much lower densities than liquids and solids.

Pressure

Pressure is defined as force exerted per unit area.
Units of pressure:
- SI unit: Pascal (Pa)
- 1 Pa = 1 N/m²
- 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr
- 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 101.325 kPa

Gas Laws

Boyle's Law: The volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with applied pressure.
- Mathematical representation: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ (T and n are constant)
Charles's and Gay-Lussac's Law: The volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
- Mathematical representation: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ (P and n are constant)
- Temperature must be in Kelvin: T(K) = t(°C) + 273.15
Amonton's Law: The pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
- Mathematical representation: P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂ (V and n are constant)
Avogadro's Law: The volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas.
- Mathematical representation: V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Ideal Gas Equation

Combines Boyle's, Charles's, and Avogadro's Laws:
- PV = nRT
- R is the ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L atm/(mol K)
- Standard temperature and pressure (STP) is defined as 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm.
- At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.414 L.

Gas Density Calculations

Density (d) of a gas is calculated using:
- d = (PM) / (RT)
- Molar mass (M) can be calculated from: M = (dRT) / P

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas.
- Ptotal = P₁ + P₂
- V and T of the gases must be constant.
