  1. Partial Pressure-Intro Consider these boxes, all the same V and T:  If P is 3 atm in the H2 box, what is P in the Ar box?  If P is 3 atm in the H2 box, what is P in the Ar box? (Hint: there are twice as many particles)  And what would be the pressure if the two gases were put into the same box (at same V and T)? Ar PAr = _____ 6 atm Mixture of Ar and H2 H2 PH2 = 3 atm Ptotal = _____ 9 atm Ppt 18b

  2. Partial Pressures (in Gas Mixtures) The partial pressure of a gas A (PA) is the pressure that Gas A would exert if it were the only gas in the vessel. Consider a box with volume Vbox with two gases in it, A and B, and at given temperature, T. ntot = nA + nB (Dalton’s Law) Ptot = PA + PB Ppt 18b Slide 2

  3. Back to Earlier Example Mixture of Ar and H2 Ptotal = PH2 + PAr = 3 atm + 6 atm = 9 atm Ppt 18b Slide 3

  4. Figure 5.12, Zumdahl The Partial Pressure of each Gas in a Mixture of Gases in a Container Depends on the Number of Moles of that Gas Ppt 18b

  5. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures (Intro) For a two-component system, the moles of components A and B can be represented by the mole fractions (XA and XB). NOTICE: XA + XB = 1 Ppt 18b Slide 5

  6. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures Mole fraction is related to the total pressure by: On a humid day in summer, the mole fraction of gaseous H2O (water vapor) in the air at 25°C can be as high as 0.0287. Assuming a total pressure of 0.977 atm, what is the partial pressure (in atm) of H2O in the air? Ppt 18b Slide 6

  7. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures 2.0 moles of Ne and 3.0 moles of Ar were placed in a 40.0 L container at 25oC. What are the partial pressures of each gas and the total pressure? Ppt 18b Slide 7

  8. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures A sample of natural gas contains 6.25 moles of methane (CH4), 0.500 moles of ethane (C2H6), and 0.100 moles of propane (C3H8). If the total pressure of the gas is 1.50 atm, what are the partial pressures of the gases? Ppt 18b Slide 8

  9. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures Hydrogen gas generated when calcium metal reacts with water is collected at 30°C and a pressure of 988 mm Hg. The volume collected is 641 ml. What is the mass (in grams) of the hydrogen gas obtained? The pressure of the water vapor at 30°C is 32 mm Hg. 760 mm Hg = 1.00 atm Ppt 18b Slide 9

  10. Graham’s Law • Diffusion is the mixing of different gases by random molecular motion and collision. • Effusion is when gas molecules escape without collision, through a tiny hole into a vacuum. Ppt 18b Slide 10

  11. Graham’s Law—Rates are about speed… • For two gases at same temperature and pressure: • (Again, “Big guys move more slowly at the same T!”) • What are the relative rates of diffusion of the three naturally occurring isotopes of neon: 20Ne, 21Ne, and 22Ne? Ppt 18b Slide 11
