Presentation Transcript

  1. “KMT and the Behavior of Gases” adapted from Stephen L. Cotton

  2. The Nature of Gases Kinetic refers to motion kinetic energy – the energy an object has because of its motion The kinetic theory states that the tiny particles in all forms of matter are in constant motion!

  3. KMT – Kinetic Molecular Theory 1. All matter is composed of very tiny particles 2. Particles of matter are continually moving 3. The collisions of these particles are “elastic” (no loss of energy)

  4. The Nature of Gases Three basic assumptions of the kinetic theory as it applies to gases: #1. The particles in a gas are considered to be small, hard spheres with insignificant volume #2. The motion of the particles in a gas are rapid, constant and random #3. All collisions between particles in a gas are perfectly elastic.

  6. The Nature of Gases (no volume or shape) • Gas Pressure –the force exerted by a gas per unit surface area of an object • The result of simultaneous collisions of billions of rapidly moving particles. • No particles present? Then there cannot be any collisions, and thus no pressure – called a vacuum

  7. The Nature of Gases • Atmospheric pressure results from the collisions of air molecules with objects • Air exerts pressure on earth because gravity holds the particles in the air from Earth’s atmosphere. • Barometer is the measuring device for atmospheric pressure, which is dependent upon weather & altitude

  8. Measuring Pressure The first device for measuring atmospheric pressure was developed by Evangelista Torricelli during the 17th century. The device was called a “barometer” • Baro = weight • Meter = measure Torricelli

  9. An Early Barometer 760 mm Hg = 101.3 kPa = 1 atmosphere

  10. The Nature of Gases • For gases, it is important to relate measured values to standards • Standard values are defined as a temperature of 0 oC and a pressure of 101.3 kPa, or 1 atm • This is called Standard Temperature and Pressure, or STP

  11. The Nature of Gases • Absolute zero (0 K, or –273 oC) is the temperature at which the motion of particles theoretically ceases • Kelvin = °C + 273 • °C = Kelvin – 273 • °C = (°F – 32) x .555

  12. The Nature of Gases • The Kelvin temperature scale reflects a direct relationship between temperature and average kinetic energy • Particles of He gas at 200 K have twice the average kinetic energy as particles of He gas at 100 K

  13. The Nature of Liquids • Liquid particles are also in motion. • a phase of a substance that has a definite volume but no definite shape

  14. The Nature of Liquids vaporization – conversion of a liquid to a gas by adding heat evaporation – conversion of a liquid to a gas at room temperature

  15. The Nature of Liquids • Evaporation of a liquid in a closed container is somewhat different • vapor pressure – a measure of the force exerted by a gas above a liquid • An increase in the temperature of a liquid increases the vapor pressure. A decrease in the temperature decreases the vapor pressure.

  16. The Nature of Liquids The boiling point (bp) the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is just equal to the external pressure.

  17. Section 13.2The Nature of Liquids • Normal bp of water = 100 oC • However, in Denver = 95 oC, since Denver is 1600 m above sea level and average atmospheric pressure is about 85.3 kPa (Recipe adjustments?) • In pressure cookers, which reduce cooking time, water boils above 100 oC due to the increased pressure

  20. The Behavior of Gases

  21. Properties of Gases • Compressibility: a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure. • Gases are easily compressed because of the space between the particles. (remember KMT)

  22. 3 Factors Affecting Gas Pressure • 1. Amount of Gas: by adding gas you increase the particles and number of collisions so the pressure increases, and vise versa.

  23. 2. Volume of Gas: by increasing the volume you increase the space that the particles can move in. Thus the pressure decreases as the number of collisions decreases, and vice versa.

  24. 3. Temperature: as the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particles increases and they hit the walls of the container and each other with more energy, increasing the pressure, and vice versa. Warm temp.Hot temp.Cold temp.

  25. The Gas Laws • Boyle’s Law:If the temperature is constant, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases. P1V1 = P2V2

  26. Pressure and Volume Experiment Pressure Volume P x V (atm) (L) (atm x L) 1 8.0 2.0 16 2 4.0 4.0 _____ 3 2.0 8.0 _____ 4 1.0 16 _____ Boyle's Law P x V = k (constant) when T remains constant P1V1= 8.0 atm x 2.0 L = 16 atm L P2V2= 4.0 atm x 4.0 L = 16 atm L P1V1 = P2V2 = k Use this equation to calculate how a volume changes when pressure changes, or how pressure changes when volume changes. new vol. old vol. x Pfactor new P old P x Vfactor V2 = V1 x P1 P2 = P1 x V1 P2 V2

  27. P and V Changes P1 P2 V1 V2

  28. Boyle's Law • The pressure of a gas is inversely related to the volume when T does not change • Then the PV product remains constant P1V1 = P2V2 P1V1= 8.0 atm x 2.0 L = 16 atm L P2V2= 4.0 atm x 4.0 L = 16 atm L

  29. PV Calculation Prepare a data table DATA TABLE Initial conditions Final conditions P1 = 50 mm Hg P2 = 200 mm Hg V1 = 1.6 L V2 = ? ?

  30. 1) If I have 5.6 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 4.8 L, what will the new pressure inside the piston be?

  31. 2) I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level (1.0 atm). If I take the balloon with me to Denver, where the air pressure is 0.85 atm, what will the new volume of the balloon be?

  32. 3) I’ve got a car with an internal volume of 12,000 L. If I drive my car into the river and it implodes, what will be the volume of the gas when the pressure goes from 1.0 atm to 1.4 atm?

  33. Charles Law:As the temperature of an enclosed gas increases, the volume increases, if the pressure is constant.

  34. When you use temperature in ANY gas law you must change the temperature into Kelvin Kelvin = ºC + 273

  35. Find the volume of 250 mL of a gas at 25 °C if the temperature is dropped to 10 °C.

  36. Gay-Lussac’s Law:As the temperature of an enclosed gas increases, the pressure increases, if the volume is constant.

  37. Calculate the final pressure inside a scuba tank after it cools from 1.00 x 103 °C to 25.0 °C. The initial pressure in the tank is 130.0 atm.

  38. The Combined Gas Law:all three gas laws combined.

  39. Convert 250 mL of a gas at 50 °C and 650 mm Hg to STP

  40. A gas starts at 1 atm, 30 °C and 1 L. What is the final temperature if the final amounts are 5 atm and 0.5 L.

  41. Ideal Gas Law:includes the number of particles (n= moles) and the ideal gas constant (related to pressure).

  42. 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles R = (22.4 L x 1 atm/1 mol x 273 K)= 0.0821 L x atm/mol x K

  43. How many moles of a gas will you have if 1 liter of gas is collected 28.0 °C and 1.7 atmospheres pressure.

  44. R = (22.4 L x 760 mmHg/1 mol x 273 K) = 62.4 L x mmHg/mol x K R = (22.4 L x 1 atm/1 mol x 273 K) = 0.0821 L x atm/mol x K R = (22.4 L x 101.3 kPa/1 mol x 273 K) = 8.31 L x kPa/mol x K
