13.1 – The Gas Laws
Kinetic Theory = assumes that gas particles:
do not repel or attract each other
are much smaller than the distances between them
(particles have no volume)
are in constant, random motion (straight lines)
have completely elastic collisions (no loss of KE)
Have the same average KE at a given temp.
Nature of gases = determined by pressure,
temperature, volume, and number of particles
13.1 – The Gas Laws
Our variables =
Pressure (P)
Temperature (T) – Must be in Kelvin!
Volume (V)
Amount of particles/number of moles (n)
Gas constant - R
13.1 – The Gas Laws
Boyle’s Law =
Studied relationship
between pressure and
volume of a gas
At a given temp., volume
and pressure are inversely
related
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 and V1 are initial
conditions
P2 and V2 are new
conditions
13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)
13.1 – The Gas Laws
Steps for solving gas law problems =
1. Identify all variables.
2. Analyze the problem. “Which equation should
I use?”
3. Rearrange the equation to solve for the
unknown variable.
4. Plug in the numbers from step 1 into the
equation from step 3 solve!
13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)
A sample of helium gas in a balloon is
compressed from 4.0 L to 2.5 L at a
constant temperature. If the pressure of
the gas in the 4.0-L volume is 210 kPa,
what will the pressure be at 2.5 L?
13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)
1. Identify all variables.
T=constant
V1=4.0 L
V2=2.5 L
P1=210 kPa
P2=?
2. Which equation should I use?
We know P and V. Boyle’s Law: P1V1=P2V2
3. Rearrange the equation.
To solve for P2, divide both sides by V2:
P1V1
P2
V2
4. Plug in numbers from #1 into equation from #3:
(210kPa)(4.0 L)
? kPa
(2.5L)
13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)
The volume of a gas at 99.0 kPa is 300.0
mL. If the pressure is increased to 188
kPa, what will be the new volume?
Air trapped in a cylinder fitted with a piston
occupies 147.5 mL at 1.08 atm pressure.

pressure is increased to 1.43 atm by
applying force to the piston?

A gas sample at 40.0°C occupies a volume
of 2.32 L. If the temperature is raised to
75.0°C, what will the volume be, assuming
the pressure remains constant?
A gas at 89°C occupies a volume of 0.67 L.

increase to 1.12 L?

13.1 – The Gas Laws (Gay-Lussac’s Law)
The pressure of a gas in a tank is 3.20 atm
at 22.0°C. If the temperature rises to
60.0°C, what will be the gas pressure in
the tank?
A gas in a sealed container has a pressure
of 125 kPa at a temperature of 30.0°C. If
the pressure in the container is increased
to 201 kPa, what is the new temperature?
13.2 – The Combined Gas Law
Combines all four equations together into
one that relates temperature, pressure,
and volume:
P1V1 P2V2

T2
13.2 – The Combined Gas Law
A gas at 110 kPa and 30.0°C fills a flexible
container with an initial volume of 2.00 L. If the
temperature is raised to 80.0°C and the pressure
increased to 440 kPa, what is the new volume?
At 0.00°C and 1.00 atm pressure, a sample of gas
occupies 30.0 mL. If the temperature is increased
to 30.0°C and the entire gas sample is transferred
to a 20.0-mL container, what will be the gas
pressure inside the container?
13.2 – Avogadro’s Principle
Avogadro’s principle = equal volumes of
gases at the same temperature and
pressure contain equal numbers of
particles
STP=Standard Temperature and Pressure, 0°C
(273 K) and 1 atm
**One mole of any gas will occupy 22.4 L at
STP
Now we can convert from liters to moles!
1 mole
0.25 L O 2
? moles O 2
22.4 L
13.2 – Avogadro’s Principle
Calculate the volume that 0.881 mol of a
gas at standard temperature and pressure
(STP) will occupy.
How many moles of nitrogen gas will be
contained in a 2.00-L flask at STP?
13.2 – The Ideal Gas Law
All other gas laws apply to “a fixed mass”
or “a given amount”
Changing the number of gas particles
affects other variables
Increasing the number of particles will…
Increase P (if T and V are constant)
Increase V (if T and P are constant)
We need a new equation that includes
amount of gas present
13.2 – The Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
of gas present
R = ideal gas

units of P)

contained in a 3.0-L vessel at 3.00 x 102 K
with a pressure of 1.50 atm.
Determine the kelvin temperature required
for 0.0470 mol of gas to fill a balloon to
1.20 L under 0.988 atm pressure.
13.2 – The Ideal Gas Law
So what’s an ideal gas anyway?
Its particles don’t take up space and have no
intermolecular attractive forces
Follows the gas laws under all conditions of T
and P
**In the real world, NO gas is truly ideal!
When do real gases not behave as “ideal”
gases?
At high P and low T we can compress them
into liquids
Ex. Propane and liquid nitrogen
13.3 – Gas Stoichiometry
Volume – Volume
Solve same as mole-mole problems
How many liters of propane gas (C3H8) will
undergo complete combustion with 34.0L of
oxygen gas?
C3H8 + O2 → H2O + CO2
13.3 – Gas Stoichiometry
Volume – Mass
If 5.00L of nitrogen reacts completely with hydrogen at a pressure of 3.00atm
and a temperature of 298K, how much ammonia, in grams, is produced?
N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
Calculate as a Volume to Volume Problem
5.00L N2 x (2NH3/1N2) = 10.00L NH3
Utilize PV=nRT to solve for the number of moles (n)
(3.00atm)(10.00L) = n (0.0821L∙amt/mol∙K)(298K)
Convert moles to mass
1.23mol NH3 ÷ 17.04g/mol NH3 = 21.0g NH3
n=1.23mol NH3
