Calculating the Molar Mass, M, of a GasSince PV = nRT
Then n = PV / RT
And n = mass / M
So m / M = PV / RT
And M = mRT / PV
Or M = d RT / P

Sample Problem 5.7 Finding the Molar Mass of a Volatile Liquid
PROBLEM: An organic chemist isolates from a petroleum sample a colorless liquid with the properties of cyclohexane (C6H12). She uses the Dumas method and obtains the following data to determine its molar mass:
PLAN:
SOLUTION:
Use unit conversions, mass of gas and density-M relationship.
Volume of flask = 213mL
Mass of flask + gas = 78.416g
T = 100.00C
Mass of flask = 77.834g
P = 754 torr
Is the calculated molar mass consistent with the liquid being cyclohexane?

Partial Pressure of a Gas in a Mixture of Gases
Gases mix homogeneously.
Each gas in a mixture behaves as if it is the only gas present, e.g. its pressure is calculated from PV = nRT with n equal to the number of moles of that particular gas......called the Partial Pressure.
The gas pressure in a container is the sum of the partial pressures of all of the gases present.
Dr. Wolf’s CHM 101
5-26
Often in gas experiments the gas is collected “over water.” So the gases in the container includes water vapor as a gas. The water vapor’s partial pressure contributes to the total pressure in the container.

Sample Problem 5.9 Calculating the Amount of Gas Collected Over Water
PLAN:
SOLUTION:
The difference in pressures will give us the P for the C2H2. The ideal gas law will allow us to find n. Converting n to grams requires the molar mass, M.
PROBLEM: Acetylene (C2H2), an important fuel in welding, is produced in the laboratory when calcium carbide (CaC2) reaction with water:
CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(aq)
For a sample of acetylene that is collected over water, the total gas pressure (adjusted to barometric pressure) is 738torr and the volume is 523mL. At the temperature of the gas (230C), the vapor pressure of water is 21torr. How many grams of acetylene are collected?

Postulates of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory
Because the volume of an individual gas particle is so small compared to the volume of its container, the gas particles are considered to have mass, but no volume.
Gas particles are in constant, random, straight-line motion except when they collide with each other or with the container walls.
Collisions are elastic therefore the total kinetic energy(Kk) of the particles is constant.
Postulate 1: Particle Volume
Postulate 2: Particle Motion
Postulate 3: Particle Collisions

Kinetic-Molecular Theory
Gas particles are in motion and have a molecular speed, .
But they are moving at various speeds, some very slow, some very fast, but most near the average speed of all of the particles,
(avg) .
Since kinetic energy is defined as ½ mass x (speed)2, we can define the average kinetic energy, Ek(avg) = ½m
(avg)
Since energy is a function of temperature, the average energy and, hence, average molecular speed will increase with temperature.
Dr. Wolf’s CHM 101
5-39
The relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature is given as, Ek(avg) = 3/2 (R/NA) x T
(where R is the gas constant in energy units, 8.314 J/mol-KNA is Avogadro’s number, and T temperature in K.)
An increase in temperature results in an increase in average molecular kinetic energy.
To have the same average kinetic energy, heavier atoms must have smaller speeds.
The root-mean-square speed, (rms) , is the speed where a molecule has
the average kinetic energy. The relationship between (rms) and molar
mass is:
(rms) = (3RT/M ) ½
So the speed (or rate of movement) is: rate (M ) ½

Graham’s Law of Effusion
Graham’s Law of Effusion
The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely related to the square root of its molar mass.
Effusion is the process by which a gas in a closed container moves through a pin-hole into an evacuated space. This rate is proportional to the speed of a molecule so.....
Rate of effusion (M ) ½
So doing two identical effusion experiments measuring the rates of two gases, one known, one unknown, allows the molecular mass of the unknown to be determined.
