What is a gas?
a phase of matter; composed of particles that are moving randomly and very fast in their containers
Gas particles move in _____ lines until they collide with either the container wall or another particle; then they bounce off
straight
A gaseous atom or molecule exerts a force when it collides with a _____ or _____
Molecular collisions are _____
surface or other gaseous particles
pressure
the force exerted per unit area by gas molecules as they strike the forces around them
pressure
Pressure =
F/A; Force/Area
Gas pressure is a result of the constant ______ of the gas molecules and their _____ with the surfaces around them
movement; collisions
The pressure of a gas depends on what three factors?
- number of gas particles in a given volume
- volume of the container
- average speed (temp) of the gas particles
A model for gases built on the idea that matter is particulate and its structure affects properties
Kinetic Molecular Theory
The Kinetic Theory of Gases is based on these 3 assumptions
- size of a particle is negligibly small (argon gas - 0.01% of the volume at normal pressure)
- The average kinetic energy of a particle is proportional to the temperature in Kelvins (The motion is due to thermal energy which is spread out among the particles of gas)
- Collisions of gas particles with each other and/or surfaces are said to be elastic (no exchange of energy occurs)
What are the four basic properties of gas?
- Pressure(P) - Units in atmospheres (atm)
- Volume (V) - Units in liters (L)
- Temperature(T) - Units in Kelvin (K),
- where Kelvin (K) = Celsius T+ 273
- Amount in moles (n)
The properties of gas are interrelated; when one changes, ______
The simple gas laws describe the relationships between ____ of these properties
- investigate two properties and keep the other two _____
it affects the others
pairs
constant
Boyle’s Law investigates _____
pressure and volume relationship
Charles’ Law investigates _____
volume and temperature relationship
Avogadro’s Law investigates _____
volume and amount (mole) relationship
Boyle’s Law states that pressure and volume are _____ related. Formula?
inversely
PiVi = PfVf
How do you find the volume of a cylinder?
V = pir^2h (pi x radius squared x height)
Charles’ Law states that volume and temperature are ______. Formula?
proportional.
Vf/Tf = Vi/Ti
According to Charles’ law, as a gas becomes colder, the volume of gas will ______ until ________
decrease/ the gas has no volume
Avogadro’s law states that volume and amount of moles are ______
proportional
All gases should roughly occupy the same volume under the same conditions of pressure and temperature. This is called the ________
molar volume
The molar volume of gases at 0 degrees C and 1 atm is approximately _____
22 L/mol
A hypothetical gas whose molecules occupy negligible space and have no interactions
ideal gas
The simple gas law relationships discussed so far can be combined into a single law that encompasses all of them This is the _______
ideal gas law
PV = nRT
What is the gas constant?
0.08206 L x atm/ mol x K
