The Kinetic molecular theory that we talked about in the last is still valid. • Gases are in constant random motion. • Collisions between gas particles are elastic. • Gases are considered to be point masses. • The speed of gas particles is directly related to the temperature of the gas. • Actual gases don’t obey all parts of the Kinetic Theory. • Directly related means that it changes the same way. • Inversely related means that it changes in an opposite manner.
Boyle’s Law • At a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas and the volume of a gas vary inversely. • Boyle discovered that the pressure of a gas times its volume was always equal to a constant value at a constant temperature. • P1V1 = P2V2
Charles ‘s Law • At a constant pressure, the volume of a gas and its temperature vary directly. • Charles discovers that volume divided by temperature is a constant value at a constant pressure. • To eliminate zero and negative numbers, temperatures must be in Kelvins. ( oC + 273 = K ) • V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
Gay – Lussac’s Law • At a constant volume, pressure and temperature vary directly. • P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 • Avogadro’s Principle • At constant temperature and pressure the volume and number of particles of a gas vary directly. • V1 / n1 = V2 / n2( n = moles)
The Combined Gas Law • We can put these laws together to create one equation. • P1 V1 / n1 T1 = P2 V2 / n2 T2 • This one law can be used in place of any of the other laws. • If a quantity is not give or is said to be constant, it can be dropped out of the equation.
Ideal Gas Law • We can further simplify the equation if we choose one set of conditions to always be Standard Temperature and Pressure. • We can then replace the right side of the equation with R, the ideal gas constant. By rearranging the equation we get the ideal gas equation. • P V = n R T • Where R = 0.0821 L atm / mol K = 8.31 L kPa / mol K = 62.4 L mmHg / mol K
Variations of the Ideal Gas Law • By either rearranging the equation or substituting in other equations, we can change the equation. • Molar Mass of a gas P V = m R T / M Where m is the mass of the gas and M is its molar mass. • Density of a Gas D = (m/V) = M P / R T
Real Gases • As stated previously, real gases do not follow the Kinetic molecular theory exactly. Because of this Real gases do not behave exactly like ideal gases. • The key points that differ are that real gases do have some small volume and that there are some attractive forces between gas particles. • Under most normal conditions, real gases behave very closely to ideal gases, but under low temperatures and high pressures these differences become large enough to cause variations in behavior.
