Properties of gases (5)
FEM CD
fills a container uniformly
exerts pressure on surroundings
mixes with other bases
compressed compared to solids and liquids
density is lower than liquid or solid
density
mass/volume
pressure
force/area
1 pascal
newton / meter^2
1 standard atmosphere (atm) =
101,325 Pa = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr
STP
standard temperature + pressure
the pressure at 760 mm column of Hg and 0 degrees Celsius
we can measure pressure with
barometers and manometers
a barometer measures
atmospheric pressure
a manometer measures
pressure of gas in a container
how does a barometer work?
Air pressure outside of the tube counterbalances the weight of mercury in the tube
Charles’ Law
V = bT
Avogadro’s Law
V = an
Boyle’s Law
V = K/P
Ideal Gas Law
P V = n R T
universal gas constant (R)
.08206 (L x ATM) / (mol x K)
density of gas formula
(P (mm)) / RT
the pressure a gas will exert…
is independent of its identity under ideal conditions
total gas pressure formula
Ptotal = (n1+n2+n3+nn)((RT)/V)
mole fraction for total gas pressure
n1 / nt
5 elements that exist as gases at room temp
H, O, N, C, F
5 compounds that exist as gases at room temp
CO2, CO, CH4, NH3, NO
4 postulates of kinetic molecular theory
- gas particles are so small compared to the distance between them that the volume of individual gas particles is assumed to be zero
- particles are in constant motion.
- particles exert no force on each other
- the average kinetic energy of particles is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature of gas.
collisions to the wall of a container =
pressure
lighter particles are
faster
