Study Notes

Ideal Gas Law

  • The ideal gas law is a fundamental equation in chemistry that relates the pressure (P), volume (V), number of moles (n), and temperature (T) of an ideal gas.
  • The equation is: PV = nRT, where R is the ideal gas constant (0.08205 L atm/mol K).
  • Ideal gases are theoretical gases whose molecules have negligible volume and do not interact with each other.

Gas Particles

  • Gas particles have kinetic energy and exhibit continuous random motion.
  • The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
  • The formula for kinetic energy is E = (3/2)RT

Real Gases

  • Real gases have molecules of a finite volume and interact with each other.
  • This can affect the pressure and volume of the gas.
  • The van der Waals equation is used to account for these interactions.
  • The van der Waals equation: (P + a/V^2)(V - b) = RT.
  • "a" represents the intermolecular attraction and "b" represents the volume of the molecules.

Liquid State

  • Liquids are denser than gases and occupy a definite volume.
  • They form when a gas is cooled and loses kinetic energy, and the molecules are brought within the range of attractive forces.
  • The transition from a gas to a liquid depends on temperature and pressure.

Critical Temperature & Pressure

  • The critical temperature is the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied.
  • The critical pressure is the pressure required to liquefy a gas at its critical temperature.
  • The critical temperature is a measure of the attractive forces between molecules.

Methods for Liquefying Gases

  • Cooling: Subjecting a gas to intense cold (by using freezing mixtures) can cause it to liquefy.
  • Adiabatic Expansion: Expansion of a gas into a vacuum causes a decrease in temperature due to the work of expansion.
  • Joule-Thomson Effect: The expansion of highly compressed gas into a region of low pressure causes cooling.

Pharmaceutical Applications of Liquified Gases

  • Aerosols: Aerosols are dosage forms where a drug is dissolved or dispersed in a liquefied gas (propellant).
  • These are stored at high pressure in a closed container to maintain the liquid state.
  • When the valve is released, the pressure drops, causing the liquid to vaporize and spray the drug particles.
  • Common propellants include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.

Aerosol Containers

  • The pressure within the container ranges from 1 to 6 atm at room temperature.
  • The container holds both gaseous and liquid phases at room temperature.
  • The container can be filled by cooling the propellant and drug to a low temperature or by forcing the required amount of propellant into the container with the drug already inside.
