Study Notes
General Chemistry 1 - Unit 4: The Gas Phase
- Unit covers the gas phase, gas laws, and kinetic molecular theory
- Includes chapters 9 (Gas Law) and 10 (Kinetic Molecular Theory)
Describing Gases
- Gases expand to fill their containers
- Gases have no fixed shape or volume
Learning Outcomes
- Students should be able to describe gases and explain postulates of kinetic theory as applied to gases
- Relate postulates to the properties of gases
Fundamentals of Gases
- Key properties include volume, pressure, temperature, and mole
- Volume is the 3-dimensional space occupied by matter
- Common volume units: Liters (L), cubic meters (m³), milliliters (mL)
- Pressure is exerted force per unit area on another substance
- Common pressure units: atm, torr, Pa, kPa
- Other pressure units: lbs per square foot, lbs per square inch, kg per square centimeter
- Temperature measures kinetic energy of gas molecules
- Common temperature units: Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), Kelvin (K)
- For gas calculations, all temperatures must be in Kelvin
Mole
- Mole is the amount of substance containing the same number of particles (Avogadro's number)
- Molecular weight is used to convert measured mass to moles
Pressure and Volume: Boyle's Law
- At constant temperature, volume is inversely proportional to pressure
- Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2
Temperature and Volume: Charles's Law
- At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature (Kelvin)
- Charles's Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2
Temperature and Pressure: Gay-Lussac's Law
- At constant volume, pressure is directly proportional to temperature (Kelvin)
- Gay-Lussac's Law: P1/T1 = P2/T2
Ideal Gas Laws
- Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT
- P = pressure
- V = volume
- n = number of moles
- R = ideal gas constant (depends on pressure units)
- T = temperature (Kelvin)
- Standard pressure units: 1 atm = 760 torr = 760 mmHg = 101.3 kPa = 14.7 psi
- Ideal gas constant values: 8.314 J/(mol·K) or 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- Total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of partial pressures of individual gases
- Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + ...
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Defines pressure as force exerted per unit area on container walls
- At constant temperature, changing volume changes the force per unit area and thus the pressure
- Explains the relationship between Pressure, Volume, and Temperature of ideal gases
Examples of Temperature & Kinetic Energy
- Higher temperature generally means higher average kinetic energy of gas particles.
