Molecular Composition of Gases The Ideal Gas Law
Objectives: • State the ideal gas equation. • Derive the ideal gas constant and state its units. • Use the ideal gas equation to calculate the amount of gas at any condition of temperature and pressure. • Use the ideal gas equation to calculate the molar mass of a gas given its density. • Reduce the ideal gas law to Boyle’s, Charles’, Gay-Lussac’s, or Avogadro’s Law.
The Ideal Gas Law • Mathematical relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles of gas.
Ideal Gas Law Calculate the value of R for 1 mole of gas at STP. • The value of “R” depends on the units used for P, V, and T. • The ideal gas law can be reduced to any of the previously studied gas laws when certain variables are held constant.
Sample Problems • A 2.07 L cylinder contains 2.88 mol of helium gas at 22oC. What is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas in the cylinder? • A tank of hydrogen gas has a volume of 22.9 L and holds 14.0 mol of the gas at 12oC. What is the reading on the pressure gauge in atmospheres? • A reaction yields 0.00856 mol of O2 gas. What volume will this occupy if it is collected at 43oC and 0.926 atm pressure? • What mass of ethene gas, C2H4 is contained in a 15.0 L tank that has a pressure of 4.40 atm at a temperature of 305 K?
Ideal Gas Law and Molar Mass A chemist determines the mass of a sample of gas to be 3.17 g. Its volume is 942 mL at a temperature of 14oC and a pressure of 1.09 atm. What is the molar mass of the gas.
Ideal Gas Law and Density Knowing that density is mass/volume, what is the density of a sample of ammonia, if the pressure is 0.928 atm and the temperature is 63.0oC?
