Chapter - 11 Gases Flashcards
Kinetic Molecular Theory
a model for gases where gases are composed of widely spaced, noninteracting particles whose average kinetic energy depends on temperature
Pressure
P= force/area
- results from the constant collision of gas particles w each other and the surfaces around them
Gas Laws
gas laws shows how one of the properties of a gas varies with another
Combined Gas Law
Boyle’s law + Charles’ law
(P1V1)/T1=(P2V2)/T2
Ideal Gas Law
combines 4 properties of gas: P -pressure V -volume T -temperature n -# of moles
PV=nRT
Boyle’s Law
P and V are inversely proportional
-inc in P, dec in V
constant=PV
P1V1=P2V2
Charle’s Law
V/T or
V1/T1=V2/T2
-vol + temp are directly proportional
-inc in vol, inc in temp
Kinetic Molecular Theory Assumption
1 gas is a collection of particles (atoms or molecs) in constant, straight-line motion
2 gas particles DO NOT attract/repel each other. They DO collide/bounce off each other
3 there’s a lot of space be gas particles in comparison to their size
4 avg kinetic energy (motion energy) is proportional to temp of gas (in Kelvins)
1atm = ____mm Hg
1 atm = 760 mm Hg
Kinetic molecular energy Predictions
1 gas is compressible
2 assume the shape + volume of their container
3 low densities compared to liq or solid
units of pressure
+ conversions
a. pascal (Pa)
Pa is equal to a Newton per square meter
1 Pa = 1 N/m2
b. 1 atmosphere (atm)
1 atm = 101,325 Pa
c. millimeter of mercury (mmHg)
1atm=760mmHg
SI unit of pressure
pascal (Pa)
atmosphere (atm)
unit of pressure
-avg pressure at sea level
mm Hg
millimeter of mercury is a unit of pressure
-how pressure is measured with a barometer
Barometer
-mercury is pushed up to a height of 760mm by avg pressure at sea level (atm)
in other words,
1 atm = 760 mmHg
torr
1 mm of Hg
Avogadro’s Law
vol of gas and amount of gas in moles (n) are directly proportional
V1/n1=V2/n2
ideal gas constant
R=0.0821 Latm/moleK
Partial Pressure
fractional composition is the percent composition divided by 100
Ppressure=fractional composition x total pressure
ex) what is partial pressure of Nitrogen gas in air at 1atm if N is 78%, O is 21%, and Argon is .9%
P(N2)=0.78 x 1atm
=0.78atm
P(O2) = 0.21 x 1atm
=0.21atm
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure
the sum of the partial pressures of each component in a gas mixture must equal the total pressure
Ptot=Pa+Pb+Pc+…
Vapor Pressure
partial pressure of water in a mixture
-depends on temp (inc in temp is inc in vapor pressure)
Standard Temperature and Pressure
STP
the volume occupied by 1 mol of gas at 0C(273.15K), and 1atm is 22.4 L
Molar Volume
1 mol of any gas at STP occupies 22.4L
1mol=22.4L
