Diffusion

The process where gas molecules spread out and mix evenly with other gas molecules. Think of perfume spreading through the air.

Effusion

The process where gas molecules escape through a tiny hole into an area of lower pressure. Imagine air escaping from a punctured balloon.

Graham's Law of Effusion

States that the rates at which gases effuse are inversely proportional to the square root of their densities. Lighter gases effuse faster.

Study Notes

Lecture No. 3: Properties of Gases (2)

  • Diffusion: The complete spreading out and mixing of one gas among another. Examples include perfume spreading through the air.

  • Effusion: The movement of gas molecules through a very small opening into a region of lower pressure.

Graham's Law of Effusion

  • Graham's Law: The rate of effusion of gases is inversely proportional to the square root of their densities, at constant pressure and temperature. This means Effusion rate ∝ 1/√d.

  • Formula: The effusion rate of gas A divided by the effusion rate of gas B is equal to the square root of the density of gas B divided by the density of gas A.

  • effusion rate(A) / effusion rate(B) = √(dB/dA )

  • Constant: Effusion rate × √density = constant (approximately the same for all gases.)

Kinetic Energy

  • Definition: The energy of motion. All moving objects and particles have kinetic energy.

  • Formula: K.E. = ½ m∙v²

  • m = mass

  • v = velocity or speed

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)

  • Explanation: KMT explains macroscopic properties of gases like pressure, temperature, and volume.
  • Application: Explains the behavior of ideal gases.

Assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Gas

  • Small Particles: Gases consist of tiny particles (molecules).
  • Constant Random Motion: Gas molecules constantly move randomly in straight lines.
  • Large Distances: The distance between gas molecules is much larger than the size of the molecules.
  • No Interaction: There's negligible interaction between gas molecules (except for occasional collisions).
  • Perfectly Elastic Collisions: All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic; no loss of kinetic energy during collisions.

The Average Kinetic Energy and Temperature

  • Dependence: The average kinetic energy of the particles depends on the Kelvin temperature
  • Pressure: Elastic collisions on the container walls result in pressure.
  • Volume: The large spaces between molecules mean the volume of the particles is negligible compared to the container volume.

Kinetic Theory and Gas Laws

  • Temperature and Peaks: The peak of a graph (for kinetic energy) shows the highest experienced value, but the average value is slightly higher, due to the lack of symmetry.
  • PV Proportional to KE: Based on calculations, the product of pressure and volume (PV) is proportional to the average kinetic energy (KE).
  • Ideal Gas Law and Temperature: The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) is related to the average K.E. with respect to temperature(T).
  • Pressure-Volume Relationship (Boyle's Law): Reducing the volume of a gas, at constant temperature, increases the pressure. (P1V1 = P2V2)
  • Pressure-Temperature Relationship (Gay-Lussac's Law): At fixed volume, an increase in temperature also increases pressure(P1/T1 = P2/T2).
  • **Temperature-Volume Relationship (Charles's Law):**At constant pressure, heating up a gas leads to expansion (V1/T1 = V2/T2).
  • Effusion Law: Graham's law relates rates of effusion to molecular mass
  • Ideal Gases: All gas laws are obeyed by ideal gases under all conditions. Ideal gases consist of small particles, have negligible volume, don't interact, and have perfectly elastic collisions.
  • Real Gases: Real gases deviate from ideal behavior due to molecular volume & intermolecular forces; more pronounced at higher pressure & lower temperature. The Van der Waals equation approximates real gas behavior.
