Study Notes
Kinetic Theory of Gases
- Gases are substances with widely separated molecules in rapid motion.
- Gases occupy the entire volume of their container.
- Gases are highly compressible.
- Gases mix evenly in a container.
- Gases have much lower densities than liquids and solids.
- Gases are normally in the gaseous state at 25°C and 1 atm pressure.
- Vapor is the gaseous form of a liquid or solid at normal temperatures or pressures.
Definition of Pressure
- Pressure is the force exerted by a gas on the walls of its container.
- Pressure = Force/Area
- SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
- 1 Pa = 1 N/m² = (kg m s⁻²/m²) = 1 kg/ms²
- Gas pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.
- 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 Torr = 101325 Pa = 101.325 kPa
Boyle's Law
- The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature and number of moles.
- P * V = constant
- P₁ * V₁ = P₂ * V₂
Charles and Gay-Lussac's Law
- At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed quantity of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (in Kelvin).
- V/T = constant
- V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
Avogadro's Law
- The volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.
- V = constant * n
- V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
Ideal Gas Equation
- PV = nRT
- R = 0.082057 L atm/mol K (gas constant)
Gas Density
- d = m/V = (PM)/(RT)
- m is the mass of the gas.
- M is the molar mass of the gas.
- d is the gas density in g/L.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
- Ptotal = P1 + P2 + ...
Mole Fraction
- Xi = ni / (n1 + n2 + ...)
- Partial pressure of a gas = mole fraction * total pressure
Graham's Law of Effusion
- The effusion rates of gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molar masses.
- r₁/r₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
Real Gases and Deviations from Ideal Behavior
- Real gases do not always follow the ideal gas law perfectly.
- Deviations occur at high pressures and low temperatures.
- Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules become significant at high pressures/low temperatures.
Van Der Waals Equation of State
- P(V - nb) = nRT
- Pideal = Preal + a(n/V)²
- a and b are van der Waals constants (characteristic of a gas) reflecting attractive and repulsive forces.
Liquefaction of Gases
- Liquefaction is converting a gas into a liquid.
- Many gases liquefy at normal pressure by cooling.
- Critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure (Pc) are related to liquefaction.
Critical Constants
- Tc, Pc, and Vc are critical temperature, pressure, and volume respectively. They represent conditions when gaseous and liquid states coexist.
