Ideal Gas Law Janet Penevolpe Karen Glennon
KINETIC THEORY OF GASES • Assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. • The molecules are in constant, random motion and frequently collide with each other and with the walls of any container.
DEVELOPMENT OF GAS LAWS • Boyle’s Law - relates pressure and volume • Charles’ Law - relates temperature and volume • Avogadro’s Principle - relates to the number of molecules and volume • Ideal Gas Law - relates pressure, temperature, volume, and number of molecules.
IDEAL GAS LAW • An ideal gas can be characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P) volume (V) absolute temperature (T). # moles (n) • The relationship between them may be deduced from kinetic theory and is called PV = nRT
GAS PARTICLES Have two elementary actions • They move • They collide with other particles or other objects
We found two models in the NetLogo model library. • Combined and modified these two programs. • Pressure will be a function of the other parameters/variables.
ASSUMPTIONS • All particles average energy. • Minimum number of particles is set at 100 • Minimum temperature is 100
Problems • Volume vs. area calculation • Energy vs. temperature calculation
OUR NetLogo PROGRAM • Ideal Gaw Law Simulation
RESULTS • Learning a new language always creates difficulties. • Harder to copy, read, and modify code than to create it.
MATH RESULTS/VERIFICATION • When volume doubled pressure halved in accordance to Boyle’s Law. • When temperature doubled pressure doubled in accordance with Charles Law. • When number of particles doubled the pressure doubled in accordance with Avogadro’s Principle.
THE MODEL IS VALID because the IDEAL GAS LAW is the COMBINATION OF THESE THREE LAWS!
