Study Notes
- The module is about the behavior of gases.
- The module aims to explain the relationship between the properties of gases using kinetic molecular theory.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- States, that the volume of individual gas particles is negligible compared to the gas's overall volume.
- Gas particles are in constant, random motion, moving in straight lines until colliding with another particle or a wall.
- Gas particles have no attractive forces between each other or the container walls.
- When particles collide, kinetic energy is conserved, with no energy gained or lost.
- Absolute temperature affects the average kinetic energy of gas particles; higher temperature means higher average kinetic energy.
- At absolute zero, particle motion ceases.
- These assumptions are most accurate for ideal gases but can be applied to real gases too.
Boyle's Law
- It states that the volume of any gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure.
- When two measurements are inversely proportional, one gets smaller as the other gets larger.
- Expressed mathematically as: P * V = k, or P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
- Pressure relies on how often particles collide; higher frequency in smaller volumes, leading to greater pressure.
Charles' Law
- The law states the volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
- When two measurements are directly proportional, one increases as the other also increases.
- Expressed mathematically as: V / T = k, or V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
- 0 K (absolute zero) is equal to -273.15 degrees Celsius.
