Kinetic Molecular Theory
Based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion
Ideal Gas
An imaginary gas that perfectly fits all assumptions of kinetic-molecular theory
-Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles that are far apart
relative to size
-Collisions between gas particles and container walls are elastic collisions
-Gas particles are in continuous, rapid, random motion; possess kinetic energy
-No forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles
-Average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature of the gas
Elastic Collision
One in which there is no net loss of kinetic energy
Fluids
Gases and liquids, both particles flow past each other
Diffusion
Spontaneous mixing of two substances caused by random motion
Effusion
Process by which gas particles pass through a tiny opening
Real Gas
Gas that does not behave completely according to the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory
Pressure (P) and Conversions
Defined as force per unit area on a surface
-Pascal:Pa:SI Pressure unit
1Pa=1N/m^2
-Mm mercury:mm Hg:pressure that supports mercury column in barometer
-Torr
1 torr=1 mm Hg
-Atmosphere:atm:average atmospheric presumable at sea level, 0 C
1 atm=760 mm Hg
760 torr
1.01325 x 10^5 Pa
101.325 kPa
Millimeters Mercury
- 1mm Hg
- AKA 1 Torr
Atmosphere of Pressure (atm)
Exactly equivalent to 760 mm Hg
Pascal (Pa)
Pressure exerted by a force of one newton acting on an area of one square meter
Standard Temperature and Pressure
1 atm pressure and 0 degrees C
Boyle’s Law
Pressure-volume relationship
-P1V1=P2V2
-Volume of a fixed mass varies inversely with the pressure at constant temperature. If pressure of gas sample at constant temp. changes, volume changes
Charles’ Law
Volume-temperature relationship
-V1/T1=V2/T2
-Volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure varies directly with the Kelvin temperature
Kelvin
273 degrees Celcius
Gay-Lussac’s Law
Pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume varies directly with Kelvin temperature
-P1/T1=P1/T2
STP
Volume occupied at STP (standard temperature and pressure) is known as standard molar volume of gas
-22.4 L
Ideal Gas Equation
PV=nRT
P-pressure
V-volume
n-number of moles
R-ratio .0821L x atm/(mol x K)
