Study Notes
Gases
- Gases are a state of matter characterized by their ability to expand without limit and conform to the shape and volume of their container.
Properties of Gases
- Gases have low density compared to liquids and solids.
- Gases are compressible, meaning their volume can be significantly reduced by applying pressure.
- Gases exhibit significant expansion when heated.
- Gases mix readily with one another in all proportions.
- Gases exert pressure on the walls of their container.
Graham's Law of Effusion
- Graham's law describes the relationship between the rate of effusion (the escape of a gas through a small opening) and the molar mass of the gas.
- The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
- Heavier gases effuse more slowly than lighter gases.
Charles's Law
- Charles's Law describes the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure.
- The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
- Mathematically, V1/T1 = V2/T2 where V is volume and T is temperature in Kelvin.
- When temperature increases, volume increases.
Amonton's Law
- Amonton's law describes the relationship between the pressure and temperature of a gas at constant volume.
- The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
- Mathematically, P1/T1 = P2/T2 where P is pressure and T is temperature in Kelvin.
- When temperature increases, pressure increases.
Boyle's Law
- Boyle's law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.
- The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
- Mathematically, P1V1 = P2V2 where P is pressure and V is volume.
- When pressure increases, volume decreases.
Avogadro's Principle
- Avogadro's principle states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
- This means that the number of moles of a gas is directly proportional to its volume.
- A mole of any ideal gas occupies the same volume at the same temperature and pressure.
Dalton's Law and Partial Pressure of Gases
- Dalton's Law states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure that gas would exert if it occupied the entire volume alone.
- Mathematically, Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + ... where Ptotal is the total pressure and Pi are the partial pressures of the individual gases.
- The partial pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the mole fraction of that gas in the mixture.
