  1. The Gas Laws

  2. Pressure • Force per unit area. • Gas molecules fill container. • Molecules move around and hit sides. • Collisions are the force. • Container has the area. • Measured with a barometer.

  3. Vacuum Barometer • The pressure of the atmosphere at sea level will hold a column of mercury 760 mm Hg. • 1 atm = 760 mm Hg 760 mm Hg 1 atm Pressure

  4. Units of pressure • 1 atmosphere = 760 mm Hg • 1 mm Hg = 1 torr • 1 atm = 101,235 Pascals = 101.325 kPa • Can make conversion factors from these.

  5. What is 724 mm Hg in torr? • 724 torr • 96.5 torr • 0.953 torr • 73,359 torr

  6. What is 724 mm Hg in kPa? • 724 kPa • 96.5 kPa • 0.953 kPa • 73,359 kPa

  7. What is 724 mm Hg in atm? • 724 atm • 96.5 atm • 0.953 atm • 73,359 atm

  8. The Gas Laws • Boyle’s Law • Pressure and volume are inversely related at constant temperature. • PV= k • As one goes up, the other goes down. • P1V1 = P2 V2 • Graphically

  9. V P (at constant T)

  10. Slope = k V 1/P (at constant T)

  11. Examples • 20.5 L of nitrogen at 25ºC and 742 torr are compressed to 9.8 atm at constant T. What is the new volume? • 2.04 L • .264 L • .467 L

  12. 30.6 mL of carbon dioxide at 740 torr is expanded at constant temperature to 750 mL. What is the final pressure in kPa? • 30.2 kPa • .0397 kPa • 4.025 kPa • 169843 kPa

  13. Charles' Law • Volume of a gas varies directly with the absolute temperature at constant pressure. • V = kT (if T is in Kelvin) • V1 = V2 T1 = T2 • Graphically

  14. He CH4 H2O V (L) H2 -273.15ºC T (ºC)

  15. Examples • What would the final volume be if 247 mL of gas at 22ºC is heated to 98ºC , if the pressure is held constant? • 1100 mL • 196 mL • 311 mL

  16. At what temperature would 40.5 L of gas at 23.4ºC have a volume of 81.0 L at constant pressure? • 592.8 K • 592.8 0C • 319.8 K

  17. Avogadro's Law • At constant temperature and pressure, the volume of gas is directly related to the number of moles. • V = k n (n is the number of moles) • V1 = V2 n1 = n2

  18. Gay- Lussac Law • At constant volume, pressure and absolute temperature are directly related. • P = k T • P1 = P2 T1 = T2

  19. Combined Gas Law • If the moles of gas remains constant, use this formula and cancel out the other things that don’t change. • P1 V1 = P2 V2. T1 T2

  20. Ideal Gas Law • PV = nRT • V = 22.41 L at 1 atm, 0ºC, n = 1 mole, what is R? • R is the ideal gas constant. • R = 0.08306 L atm/ mol K • Tells you about a gas is NOW. • The other laws tell you about a gas when it changes.

  21. Ideal Gas Law • A hypothetical substance - the ideal gas • Think of it as a limit. • Gases only approach ideal behavior at low pressure (< 1 atm) and high temperature. • Use the laws anyway, unless told to do otherwise. • They give good estimates.

  22. Example • A 47.3 L container containing 1.62 mol of He is heated until the pressure reaches 1.85 atm. What is the temperature? • 316 K • 658 K • 27.1 K

  23. Gas Density and Molar Mass • D = mass/Volume • Let MMstand for molar mass • MM = mass/n • n= PV/RT • PV = mass RT MM

  24. Example • What is the density of ammonia at 23ºC and 735 torr? • 0.676 g/L • 0.987 g/L • 1.20 g/L

  25. Gases and Stoichiometry • Reactions happen in moles • At Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP, 0ºC and 1 atm) 1 mole of gas occupies 22.42 L. • If not at STP, use the ideal gas law to calculate moles of reactant or volume of product.
