-atm pressure creates a downward force on the pool of mercury at the base of barometer while the mercury in the column exerts an opposing force (its weight) based on its density
-the weight of the mercury creates a vacuum in the top of the tube
-when the external air exerts a higher force, than the weight of the mercury in the column, the column rises.
-when the external air exerts a lower force, than the weight of the mercury in the column, the column falls.

Q

many processes involving gases take place under STP(what is STP?)
STP conditions are not identical to standard state conditions, whats the difference? when is each used?
what do we always assume about gases?
what is an ideal gas? when do real gases deviate from ideal gases?

A

STP is 273 K (0 C)and 1 atm, used for gas law calcs
standard state conditions 298 K, 1 atm, 1 M concs), used for calcs of enthalpy, entropy, G, and electrochemical cell voltage
we always assume they are ideal; ideal gases have no IFs working on them and they have no volume; real gases deviate from ideal gases at high pressures(low volumes) and low temps

Q

what is the ideal gas law eqn? when can R be changed?
what is density defined as? what units?
how can we rearrange the ideal gas law to find the density of any gas?
the mole of an ideal gas at STP occupies what volume?

what is the combined gas law eqn? what does this eqn assume?

derivation of the combined gas law to find changes in volume? what is V2 then used to find and what eqn?

A

PV=nRT; R is 8.21 x 10-2 L.atm/mol K
R(8.314 J/mol K can be changed when you u substitute pascal and cubic meters
density is defined as the mass per unit volume, expressed in g/L
-Start with the ideal gas law > PV=nRT
where n= m(mass)/M(molar mass)
Therefore, PV=m/M RT
and p= m/V = PM/RT

22.4L
combined gas law eqn = P1V1/T1//P2V2/T2; subscripts 1 and 2 refer to two states of the gas at STP and at actual temp and pressure; this eqn assumes the number of moles stay constant

to find changes in volume = V2=V1(P1/P2)x(T2/T1); V2 is then used to find the density of the gas under nonstandard conditions» p=m/V2

Q

sometimes when the identify of a gas is unknown, what can e use to identify it?

having density, what eqn can we use to find the volume at the gas at STP? and what do we substitute for T2 and P2
then what do we use to find the density of the gas at STP? then how is molar mass calcd?

A

we can use molar mass to find the gas’ identity.

V2=V1(P1/P2)x(T2/T1); subbing 273 K for T2 and 1 atm for P2
we find the density of the gas at STP by dividing the sample mass by the V2; then molar mass is calcd with this eqn»> M=pSTP x 22.4 L/mol

what dos boyles law show? eqn?

A

it states that all gases at a constant temp and pressure occupy volumes that are directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present

  • they will occupy equal volumes
  • n/V=k or n1/V1=n2/V2; k is a constant and n1 and n2 are the numbers of moles of gas 1 and 2, and V1 and V2 are the volumes of the gases

boyles law shows that for a given gaseous sample held at constant temp (isothermal conditions), the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure

eqn» PV= k or P1V1=P2V2; k is a constant and the subscripts 1 and 2 rep two different sets of P and v conditions

boyles law is a special case of the ideal gas law in which n and T are constant.

Q

the solubility of a gas will increase with what’ing partial pressure of a gas

under the kinetic molecular theory, there is an assumption that collisions btween any two gas particles or btween particles and the container walls are what, meaning that there is a conservation of both what and what energy
according to the kinetic molecular theory of gases, the average kinetic energy of a gas particle is proportional to the what of the gas(and eqn and variables)(and what does this eqn show)

what is one way to define an average speed of a gas particle?

A

increasing

under the kinetic molecular theory, there is an assumption that collisions btween any two gas particles or btween particles and the container walls are elastic, meaning that there is a conservation of both momentum and kinetic energy
-according to the kinetic molecular theory of gases, the average kinetic energy of a gas particle is proportional to the absolute temp of the gas; eqn and variables on page 276»this eqn shows that the speed of a gas particle related to its absolute temp

-one way to define an average speed of a gas particles is to determine the average kinetic energy per particle and then calculate the speed to which this corresponds; the resultant quantity known as the root mean square speed is given by the eqn on page 277

Q

under isothermal and isobaric conditions, the rates at which two gases diffuse are what proportional to the square roots of their whats?»what eqn is this related to and what variable defs?

define effusion

under the kinetic molecular theory of gases, for two gases at the same temp, the rates of what are proportional to the average whats

difference btween diffusion and effusion; what will be the same for both questions

A

under isothermal and isobaric conditions, the rates at which two gases diffuse are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molar masses.
eqn and variables on page 279

effusion is the flow of gas particles under pressure from one compartment to another thru a small opening

under the kinetic molecular theory of gases, for two gases at the same temp, the rates of effusion are proportional to the average speeds

book says diffusion is when gases mix together; effusion is when a gas moves thru a small hole under pressure; both conditions will be slower for larger molecules and both use the same eqn

Q

as the pressure of a gas goes up, what happens to the particles
as the condensation pressure for a given temp is approached, what happens to IFs until the gas does what?
at high pressure, why is a gas’ volume less than would be predicted by the ideal gas law due to what
-at high pressures what happens to the size of the particles due to the distance btween them and what does this cause the gas to do?

A

the particles are pushed closer and closer together
as the condensation pressure for a given temp is approached, IFs become more and more significant until the gas turns into a liquid
-at high pressures, a gas’ volume is less than would be predicted by the ideal as law becuz of intermolecular attraction
-at high pressures, the size of the particles becomes large compared to the distance btween them and this causes the gas to take up a larger volume than would be predicted by the ideal gas law

Q

as the temp of a gas goes down, what happens to the average speed of the gas molecules
as the condensation temp is approached for a given pressure what do intermolecular attractions cause the gas to do?
like deviations due to pressure, as the temp of a gas goes down toward what point(which is the same as its boiing point), what do intermolecular attractions cause the gas to have?

A

as the temp of a gas goes down, the average speed of the gas molecules goes down and the attractive intermolec forces becomes significantly
as the condensation temp is approached for a given pressure, the intermolecular attractions cause the gas to condense into a liquid state
-like deviations due to pressure, as the temp of a gas is reduced towarda a condensation point(which is the same as its boiling point), intermolecular attractions causes the gas to have a smaller volume than that which would be predicted by the ideal gas law.

Q

at extremely low temp, what will gases occupy and why?

what is the van der waals eqn and what does it explain? what does the a variable correct for and why will the a variable be smaller?
what does the b variable correct for and what will larger molecules have? which values are bigger, a or b?

mnemonic for a and b? and what happens when both values are 0?

A

at extremely low temp, gases will occupy more space than predicted by the ideal gas law because the particles cannot be compressed to zero volume
-the van der waals eqn attempts to correct for the deviations from ideality that occur when a gas does not closely follow the ideal gas law; equation and variables is on page 282; the a variable corrects for attractive forces btween molecules and will be smaller for gases that are small and less polarizable(like helium), and it will be larger for gases that are larger and more polarizable(Xe and N2), and largest for polar molecules such as HCl and NH3

b variable corrects for the volume of the molecules themselves; larger molecules have larger b values, values for a are bigger than b

mmemonic: a is the van der waals term for the Attractive forces
b is the van der waals term for Big particles
when both a and b are zero, the van der waals eqn of state reduces to the ideal gas law
