Gas Collection over Water & Boyle's Law

This chapter covers the collection of gas over water and Boyle's Law. It explains how to calculate the pressure of a gas given the external pressure and temperature. It also discusses the inverse relationship between pressure and volume of a gas. Examples and applications of Boyle's Law in various scenarios are provided. The impact of air pressure changes during tornadoes is explored as well.

  1. Chapter 18 Collecting a Gas Over Water & Boyle’s Law

  2. Collecting a Gas Over Water

  3. The gas is collected and the pressure inside the flask is equalized with the external air pressure.

  4. Pgas Pair

  5. If the external pressure is 99.8 kPa and the temperature is 25°C what is the pressure of the hydrogen gas?

  6. If the external pressure is 99.8 kPa and the temperature is 25°C what is the pressure of the hydrogen gas? 99.8 kPa – 3.2 kPa = 96.6 kPa This is often called the pressure of the “dry” gas. Table 18.2 Page 459

  7. Boyle’s Law

  8. Boyle’s Law • The pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely related.

  9. Even when they have an ample supply of oxygen gas, airplane passengers become uncomfortable if the cabin loses its pressure. (Hint: What will the gases in the sinuses and inner ear do if exposed to a sudden drop in air pressure).

  10. Tennis balls are sold in pressurized cans (Hint: Each tennis ball contains gases at elevated pressure to give it good bounce).

  11. 242cm3 of a gas is collected at 87.6kPa.Find the volume at standard pressure.

  12. Problem from student’s notes31.5cm3 collected at 97.8kPa. What pressure would produce a volume of 37.4cm3 ?

  13. Alternative version31.5cm3 collected at 97.8kPa. What pressure would produce a volume of 37.4cm3.

  14. You buy a helium balloon kit to inflate party balloons. Assume that the helium cylinder indicates that it contains about 252 liters of helium. This volume refers to the volume of helium at 1.0 atm pressure. If the volume of the cylinder is 5.0 L, what is the pressure of the gas inside the can?

  15. Tornados • A tornado is a vortex of rapidly moving air associated with some severe thunderstorms. Winds within the tornado funnel may exceed 500 kilometers per hour. High velocity winds cause most of the damage associated with these weather events. Tornadoes also cause damage through air pressure reductions. The air pressure at the center of a tornado averages about 600 torr and many human made structures collapse outward when subject to pressure drops of this magnitude.

  16. Suppose that on a stormy spring afternoon, a tornado passes by Tri-Valley High School. The air pressure inside the classroom (volume = 430 m3) is 760 mmHg before the storm. At the peak of the storm, the pressure outside the classroom drops to 596 mmHg. a. To what volume would the air in the room try to change to so as to equalize the pressure?

  17. Why is it a good idea to open windows slightly as such a storm approaches?
