    Study Notes

    Brownian Motion

    • Particles move randomly in straight lines at a uniform speed in all directions.
    • Collisions between molecules are elastic: the speed before a collision equals the speed after a collision.

    Ideal Gas Law

    • PV = nRT
      • P is pressure (in Pascals (Pa))
      • V is volume (in cubic meters (m³)).
      • n is the number of moles of gas.
      • R is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J/mol⋅K).
      • T is temperature (in Kelvin (K)).

    Number of Moles

    • n = m/M
      • m is the mass of the gas (in grams (g)).
      • M is the molar mass of the gas (in grams per mole (g/mol)).
    • n = N/NA
      • N is the number of molecules.
      • NA is Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/mol.

    Pressure, Volume, and Temperature Relationships

    • V = nRT/P
    • T= PV/nR
    • P = nRT/V

    Relationship Between Pressure and Temperature

    • For a constant volume: The pressure and temperature of a gas are directly proportional.
      • If temperature increases, pressure increases.
      • If temperature decreases, pressure decreases.

    Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

    • T = 0°C = 273 K
    • P = 1 atm = 1.013 x 10⁵ N/m²
    • This is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 760 mm (0.76 m) high at 0°C.
    • This is equivalent to 101.3 kPa.

    Example: Calculating Temperature with Doubling Volume

    • Given: Initial temperature (Ti) = 27°C = 300 K, Volume doubles.
    • Applying the Ideal Gas Law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ with V₂ = 2V₁
    • Solving for T₂: T₂ = (V₂/V₁)T₁ = (2V₁/V₁)T₁ = 2 * 300 K = 600 K.
    • The final temperature is 600 K, which is 327°C.

    Mass of a Single Molecule

    • m’ = M/NA
      • M is the molar mass
      • NA is Avogadro's number
      • m’ is the mass of a single molecule.
