Properties of gases & gas laws.
Properties of Gases
 Molecules have lots of space
between them
 Low density
 Compressible – why are gases
compressible but solids & liquids
are not?
 Essentially no attractive force
between gas molecules, this
allows them to move freely.
Kinetic molecular theory
 http://intro.chem.okstate.edu/1314F00/Laboratory/GLP.htm
 http://www.colorado.edu/UCB/AcademicAffairs/ArtsSciences/physics/Physics
Initiative/Physics2000/bec/temperature.html
 Gas molecules very small in relation to distance
between them, so volume of gas molecules is
negligible.
 No attractive force between molecules this allows
gases expand to fill the space of a container
 Molecules in constant random motion – move
independently of each other & collisions are perfectly
elastic so no energy is lost
 Energy of a gas is proportional to it’s temperature
Diffusion & effusion
The kinetic theory accounts for the
ease of which gases diffuse &
effuse.
Diffusion – mixing of gases to make
a homogeneous mixture.
Effusion – passage of gas through a
hole
How do we measure gases
 How have we been measuring moles of
substances?
 Why won’t this work for gases?
 What unit of measure can we use to measure the
amount of gas?
 What other factors can be measured regarding
gases?
Units used for gases
 Volume – L
 Temperature – Kelvin
 273K = 0oC
 All temperatures must be in K. Add 273 to change oC to K.
 Pressure – Pascals, mmHg, torr, atm
 1 torr = 1 mmHg
 760 torr = 1 atm
 101.3 kPa = 1 atm
Zumdahl Ch. 5 # 35, 36c
Barometers measure pressure
The atmospheric gas
pressure pushes down on
the mercury. This in turn
pushes mercury up the
empty tube. The height of
mercury in mm is a measure
of the pressure The air is
exerting.
Why does atmospheric
pressure decrease as your
altitude increases?

From high to low
•How do aerosol cans work?
•How does pressure inside
change as hold sprayer?
•When you shake the can you
can hear liquid, but it will not
come out?
•Soda can demo
•Ear popping (air plane or
scuba)
Kinetic energy vs. velocity
 If the Hulk & I run into you with the same amount of
energy (force) what has to be true?
 KE = ½ mv2
 Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of
molecules.
 If 2 gases have the same temp they have the same
KE.
 Which has a larger velocity at the same temp, H2 or
Xe?

# of molecules vs. volume
 Avogadro’s Law: n is proportional to V, as n
increases so does volume

# of molecules vs. pressure
 n is proportional to P, as n increases so does
pressure
Application of n vs. V & P
 V vs. n – as you blow up a balloon you add more gas
molecules & the balloon expands in volume
 P vs. n – as you add more gas to a fixed volume
container, the container will explode once you exceed a
certain P
Prentice Hall, Inc., 2002
T vs. V – Charles Law
 In the lab as the temperature of the water around the
closed syringe increased, the volume inside the syringe
also increased.
 T is proportional to V, as one increases so does the other.
 As the T increases the molecules increase in kinetic
energy & thus hit the walls with greater force which
results in expansion of the container (the force pushes
the sides of the container out).
T vs. V problems
 Eg. 1 A balloon inflated in a room at 24oC has a
volume of 4.00L. The balloon is then heated to a T
of 58oC. What is the new volume if the pressure
remains constant?
 Eg. 2 A container with 5.00 L of air at –50oC is
warmed to 100.0oC. What is the new volume if P
stays constant?
T vs. P – Guy Lussac’s Law
 In the lab
 T is proportional to P, as one increases so does the other.
 As temperature increases the molecules have more
energy & thus hit the walls harder thereby increasing the
temp.
T vs. P problems
 Eg. 3 The pressure in an auto tier is 198 kPa at
27oC. At the end of a trip on a hot sunny day, the
pressure has risen to 225 kPa. What is the
temperature of air in the tire?
 Eg. 4 The gas left in a used aerosol can is at a
pressure of 103 kPa at 25oC. If this can is thrown
onto a fire, what will the pressure be at 928oC?
P vs. V – Boyle’s Law
 In the lab, as you increased the pressure on the end of
the closed syringe the volume decreased.
 P & V are inversely related. As one goes up the other
goes down. It’s like a see saw.
 As the volume increases the gases hit the walls of the
container LESS OFTEN, thus there is less overall
pressure on the container.
P vs. V problems
 Eg. 5 A high-altitude balloon contains 30.0 L of
helium gas at 103 kPa. What is the volume when
the balloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is
only 25.0 kPa
 Eg. 6 The volume of anesthetic gas changes from
2.5 L to 1.5L. If the original pressure was 40.5 kPa,
what will be the new pressure?
Combined Gas Law
 PV/T
 Eg. 7 A sample of argon is trapped in a gas bulb at a
pressure of 760 torr when the volume is 100mL and
the temperature is 35.0oC. What is the temperature if
its pressure becomes 720 torr and volume is
200mL?
Ideal Gas Law
 PV = nRT
R = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol
 Eg. 8 A balloon with 0.81 mol of gas at 300K has a
pressure of 1.02 atm. What is the volume of the
balloon?
 Eg. 9 A sample of oxygen at 24.0oC and 745 torr was
found to have a volume of 455mL. How many grams
of O2 were in the sample?

STP for gases
 Standard temperature & pressure
 For gases STP means
 T = 273K of 0oC
 P = 1 atm
 Avogadro’s Law: At STP 1 mol of any gas has a
volume of 22.4 L.
 At STP 1 mol = 22.4L
Gas stoichiometry
 What mass of He is required to fill a 2.5 L balloon?
 At STP, how many liters of oxygen at are needed to
combine with exactly 1.50L of hydrogen to produce
water?
More gas stoichiometry
A student uses the decomposition of CaCO3 to
prepare CO2. How large should the flask be in order
to hold all the CO2 if 1.25g of CaCO3 is used. The
pressure of the CO2 will be 740 torr & final
temperature will be 25.0oC.
Na2CO3 + 2HCl  2NaCl + CO2 + H2O
 Zumdahl 63-65, 68
Molar mass of a gas
 A student collected a sample of gas in a 0.220 L gas
collection tube until its pressure reached 0.757 atm
at a temp of 25.0oC. The sample had a mass of
0.299 g. Calculate the molecular mass of the gas.
Density, MM & ideal gas law
 A gaseous compound of phosphorus and fluorine
was found to have a density of 3.50g/L at a temp of
25.0oC and pressure of 740 torr. Determine the
molar mass of the gas.
 Zumdahl Ch. 5 #75-77
Partial pressure
 The pressure of an individual gas does NOT change
w/ the addition of other gases.
 If the pressure of each gas in a container is known,
then the sum of these pressures is the total
pressure. Each gas adds a part to the pressure i.e.
has a partial pressure.
 Analogy: People pounding on a wall. How do we
determine the partial pressure of my pounding on the
desk?
 Suppose you want to fill a pressurized tank having a
volume of 4.00L with oxygen enriched air for use in
diving, and you want the tank to contain 50.0 g of O2
and 150g of N2. What will the total pressure have to
be at 25.0oC?
Mole fractions & partial pressure
 Remember that P is proportional to n.
 The partial pressure of any gas can be determined
using it’s percentage of the make up of all the gases
in the container otherwise known as mole fraction.
 Doing the same example again, 1.56 mol O2 & 5.36
mol N2.
Partial pressure many ways
 Now compare their pressure ratios.
 PO2 = 9.54atm
PN2 = 32.8atm
More Partial stuff
 A mixture of gases has a PAr of 0.725 atm, PO2 of
0.210atm.
What is the mole fraction of each gas?
 If the flask has a volume of 2.0L container & is at
32oC, then calculate the mass of each gas.
