What happens to the Volumeof a Gas When you Increase the Pressure? (e.g. Press a syringe that is stoppered)

Consider This

Why?

There is lots of space between gas particles. Therefore, gases are compressible!

Let’s investigate the relationship between pressure and volume if the quantity of gas and temperature are held constant.100 kPa

Boyle’s LawIn the 17th Century Robert Boyledescribed this property as, “the spring of air”.

Boyle showed that when temperatureand amount of gas were constant then:

P 1/VOR:

PV = k

Boyle’s LawFor a fixed quantity of gas at a constant temperature, the volume and pressure are inversely proportional.

Boyle showed that when temperatureand amount of gas were constant then:

P 1/VOR:

PV = k

Who Cares?

Scuba Divers!

At sea level air pressure = 100 kPaAt 10 m deep in water pressure = 200 kPaAt 20 m deep = 300 kPaAt 30 m deep = 400 kPa

SCUBA provides air at the same pressure

What will the volume of air in the diver’s lungs be at the surface (100 kPa)?What will happen to the diver?

A Scuba Diver goes to a depth of 90 m and takes a breath of 3 L volume from her tank.

Suddenly! A Dolphin lunges at the diver and takes the SCUBA! The Diver holds her breath and quickly returns to the surface.

A Scuba Diver goes to a depth of 90 m and takes a breath of 3 L volume from her tank.

Assuming that T is constant we can useBoyle’s Law:

PV = k

At 90 m: k = P1V1

At surface: k = P2V2

Therefore! P1V1 = P2V2

(1000 kPa)(3 L) = 100 kPa(V2)V2 = 300 L

To study this relationship let’s look at this data in a table.

If this line is extended backwards the volume of 0 L of gas is found to be

-273 oC

-273.15 oC is known as absolute zero. When using gas laws, temperature must be expressed using a temperature scale where 0 is -273.15oC. This is called the Kelvin scale of absolute temperature. 0 K = -273.15 oCWhen changing oC to K simply add 273.15What is 12.3oC in K?12.3 + 273.15 = 285.45= 285.5 K

Now let’s look at this table with temperatures in Kelvin (K).

Can you spot a mathematical relationship between T and V.

Charles showed that when Pressureand amount of gas were constant then:

If 12.5 L of a gas at a pressure of 125 kPa is placed in an elastic container at 15oC what volume would it occupy if the pressure is increased to 145 kPa?

Given:V1 = 12.5 LP1 = 125 kPaT1 = 15oCV2 = ?P2 = 145 kPaT2 = 15oC

V1P1

T1

=V2P2

Since T1 = T2 cancel them to get

V1P1 V2P2=

(12.5 L)(125 kPa) = V2(145 kPa)V2 = (12.5 L)(125 kPa)/145 kPaV2 = 10.8 L

Does this answer make sense?

Yes, as the pressure increases at constant temperature the volume decreases.

If 15.6 L of a gas at a pressure of 165 kPa is placed in an elastic container at 15oC what volume would it occupy if the temperature is increased to 98oC?

This gas exerts a pressure of 100 kPa inside this container.If another gas is injected into the same container and it exerts a pressure of 70 kPa what is the total pressure in the container?

170 kPa

The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each of the gases in the mixture.ExampleIf a container of air has a pressure of 100 kPa and the % of N2 in the container is 78%, % of O2 is 21%, what are the partial pressures of each of these gases inside this container.
