Study Notes
Ideal Gas Model
- The Ideal Gas Model is based on several assumptions:
- There are a large number of molecules, and they are spread far apart.
- The molecules obey Newton's Laws of Motion and move randomly in all directions.
- The molecules interact only through short-range forces during collisions.
- Collisions with the walls are elastic.
- All gas molecules are identical.
Equation of State for an Ideal Gas
- The equation of state relates the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas.
- Experimentally, the relationship is found to be:
- pV = nRT
- p: pressure
- V: volume
- n: number of moles
- R: universal gas constant
- T: temperature
- pV = nRT
Thermal Energy of an Ideal Gas
- The equation of state can be used to define temperature as a measure of average molecular kinetic energy.
- The equation:
- T = <KE>/ (3/2 kB)
- <KE>: average kinetic energy
- kB: Boltzmann constant
- T = <KE>/ (3/2 kB)
Theorem of Equipartition of Energy
- The theorem states that each degree of freedom of a molecule contributes (1/2) kB T to the energy of the system.
- Degrees of freedom include translational, rotational, and vibrational motions.
Pressure-Volume Law (Boyle's Law)
- At constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume:
- p₁V₁ = p₂V₂
- p ↑, V ↓
Volume-Temperature Law (Charles's Law)
- At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature:
- V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
- V ↑, T ↑
Pressure-Temperature Law (Gay-Lussac's Law)
- At constant volume, pressure is directly proportional to temperature:
- p₁ / T₁ = p₂ / T₂
- p ↑, T ↑
Boltzmann Distribution Law
- Describes the distribution of molecules with different energies.
- Probability of finding a molecule in a particular energy state is proportional to the exponential of the negative of the energy divided by kBT.
Maxwell-Boltzmann Speed Distribution Function
- Describes the distribution of molecular speeds.
- The function depends on the temperature and molecular mass.
- The distribution has a peak at the most probable speed, with a wider distribution at higher temperatures.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- States that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas.
- Ptotal = P₁ + P₂+ ... + Pₙ
- Partial Pressure: the pressure exerted by a single gas in a mixture.
