General Properties of Gases

• There is a lot of “free” space

in a gas.

• Gases can be expanded

infinitely.

• Gases occupy containers

uniformly and completely.

• Gases diffuse and mix

rapidly.

Gases: What Are They Like?

Flow readily and occupy

the entire volume of their

container

Vapor is the term used to denote the gaseous state

of a substance existing more commonly as a liquid

e.g., water is a vapor, oxygen is a gas

EOS

Many low molar mass molecular compounds are

gases – methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO)

Composed of widely separated particles in constant,

random motion

Gas Pressure

SI units express pressure in Newtons (N) per square

meters (m2) -- or N m–2

a.k.a. – Pascals (Pa)

Pressure is the force per unit area – consider the

unit pounds per square inch

Boyle’s Law

The volume of a fixed quantity of gas at

constant temperature is inversely proportional

to the pressure.

As P and V are

inversely proportional

A plot of V versus P results in a curve.

Since

V = k (1/P)

This means a plot of

V versus 1/P will be

a straight line.

Relating Gas Volume and Pressure – Boyle’s Law. The

volume of a large irregularly shaped, closed tank can be

determined. The tank is first evacuated and then connected to a

50.0 L cylinder of compressed nitrogen gas. The gas pressure in

the cylinder, originally at 21.5 atm, falls to 1.55 atm after it is

connected to the evacuated tank. What is the volume of the

tank?

Determining a Molar Mass with the Ideal Gas Equation.

Polypropylene is an important commercial chemical. It is used

in the synthesis of other organic chemicals and in plastics

production. A glass vessel weighs 40.1305 g when clean, dry

and evacuated; it weighs 138.2410 when filled with water at

25°C (δwater = 0.9970 g cm-3) and 40.2959 g when filled with

propylene gas at 740.3 mm Hg and 24.0°C. What is the molar

mass of polypropylene?

Strategy:

Determine Vflask. Determine mgas. Use the Gas Equation.

Determine Vflask:

Determine mgas:

As T goes up for a gas, KE also increases — and so does speed.

Main Tenets of Kinetic-

Molecular Theory

Energy can be transferred between molecules during collisions, but the average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change with time, as long as the temperature of the gas remains constant.

GAS DIFFUSION AND EFFUSION

Graham’s law governs

effusion and

diffusion of gas

molecules.

Professor in Glasgow and London.

Rate of effusion is

inversely proportional

to its molar mass.

Real Gases Under many conditions, real gases do not follow the

ideal gas law ...

-- Intermolecular forces of attraction cause the

measured pressure of a real gas to be less than

expected

-- When molecules are close together, the volume

of the molecules themselves becomes a

significant fraction of the total volume of a gas
