Nature of Gasses • Kinetic Theory • Gas particles have insignificant volume • No attractive or repulsive forces exist between the molecules • Molecules are in constant Random Motion • All collisions are perfectly elastic
Gas Pressure • Force exerted by a gas per unit surface area • SI unit: pascal (Pa) One standard atmosphere(atm) is the pressure required to support a column of mercury 760 mm high. 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 101.3kPa
Express the pressure 300 mmHg in kilopascals. 101.3 kPa 760 mm Hg
Express the pressure 300 mmHg in kilopascals. 300 mm Hg 101.3 kPa = 39.99 kPa 760 mm Hg
Kinetic Energy and Kelvin Temperature • When substances are heated, the particles of that substance absorb energy. • The remaining energy speeds up the particles • Kinetic Energy: the energy of motion ↑ Temp = ↑ Kinetic Energy
Absolute Zero • 0 Kelvin • The temperature at which the motion of particles theoretically stops • Has never been reproduced in a lab
Liquids • Ability to flow, but the particles are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. Vaporization: Liquid gas or vapor Evaporation: When vaporization occurs at the surface of a liquid
Vapor Pressure • Force of gas above a liquid
Boiling Point • The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. • Bubbles of vapor form throughout the liquid
Nature of Solids • Molecules tend to move slightly about a fixed point • Packed in a highly organized manner • Melting Point: Temperature at which solids turn into liquids
Changes of State Phase Diagrams
Sublimation • The change of state directly from a solid to a vapor.
