  1. GASES

  2. Identify the abundances of the naturally occurring gases in the atmosphere. • Describe the historical development of the measurement of pressure. • Describe the various units used to measure pressure.

  3. Earth’s air is composed of two types of gases: Permanent Variable Nitrogen 78.1% Water vapor 0 - 4%Oxygen 20.9% Carbon Dioxide 0.035% Argon 0.9% Methane 0.0002%Neon 0.002% Ozone 0.000004%Helium 0.0005%Krypton 0.0001%Hydrogen 0.00005%

  4. Torricelli (1608-1647) developed the first barometer - measures air pressure • Height of mercury supported by atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mm.

  5. Pascal (1623-1662) added to Torricelli’s “barometer.” Discovered height affects the pressure of the atmosphere. SI unit of pressure – ‘Pascal’ -kPa Gay-Lussac(1778-1850) observed the law of combining volumes in chemical reactions. Two volumes of hydrogen combined with one volume of oxygen to form two volumes of water.

  6. Avogadro (1776-1856) Avogadro’s Hypothesis - any sample of anygasat the same temperature and pressure will contain the same number of particles.

  7. UNITS

  8. 1. atmosphere (atm): 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg, or 101.325 kPa 2. Pascal (Pa) – standard international (SI) units. Defined as 1 Newton of force per m2. Use kiloPascals. 3. Millimetres of mercury (mmHg) – not commonly used. 4. Pounds per square inch (psi) - Imperial unit (uncommon) 1 kPa is equal to 0.145 psi 1 atm is equal to 14.7 psi.

  9. Manometer – measure gas pressure:

  10. Vapour Pressure: Pgas = Patm + h (greater than air) Pgas = Patm – h (less than air) Pgas = Patm + hPgas = 762 mm + 15 mm = 777 mm Hg Convert to SI units: If 760 mmHg = 101.3 kPa, then

  11. Gas pressure is due to the force of gaseous particles colliding with their container. • Torricelli invented the barometer to measure atmospheric pressure. • Units used: mmHg, atm, kPa, psi • Using a manometer: • gas pressure > air pressure Pgas = Patm + h • gas pressure < air pressure Pgas = Patm – h.
