Kinetic Theory of Gases Part II

1. Kinetic Theory of Gases Part II The ideal Gas Pressure

2. If an ideal gas rests in a closed container, then the gas will exert pressure on the container wall because the gas particles are continously moving and colliding the container wall. Suppose the length of container side is l, the mass of particle is m, the velocity of particle in the direction of x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis are vx, vy, and vz. Respevtively, the pressed area is A, the pressure force is F and the pressure against the wall is p Obserb the direction of the particle motion in the direction of x-axis : Z vz A X vx vy Y l

3. Every time the particle collides the wall, then it will give its momentum that is equal to 2 mvx to the right wall. The change of momentum on the particle is Dp = I = F . Dt , so : I = -mvx – mvx F.Dt = -2mvx Because F = p.A, where p = pressure, then : B A -vx vx m m l The time required by the particle to collide the wall B and return to its original position (A) is determining by the following equation :

4. Because of the velocity of the gas particle to all direction is assumed to the same vx = vy = vz , then : For N particles of ideal gas, then we obtain the following equation : However, because we observe in x-axis direction, we use : Where : N : number of gas particles m : mass of gas particles v : velocity of gas particles V : volume of container S.A So the equation pV = mvx2 becoms :

5. Presure and Kinetic Energy Average Kinetic energy : If this equation is subtitude into the previous equation, that is : This equation express the relationship between gas pressure and average kinetic energy of gas particles. The greater the average kinetic energy of gas particle, the greater the pressure on the gas Then will be obtained the equation as follows :

6. Absolute Temperature and Average Kinetic Energy If the gas is heated, then the temperature of the gas will increase, This increase of temperature causes the speed of gas particle motion to increase, so that the average kinetic energy of the gas particle will also increase, The amount of average kinetic energy of the gas particle can be obtained from the following equation ; So that obtained the following equation : This equation expresses that the average kinetic energy of gas particle is only influenced by its absolute temperature It should be note that the equation above only holds for monoatomic gases Enter the value of p into the equation :

7. The Velocity of Gas The velocity of gas particles in container is not all the same, Because of that, the concept of effective velocity of gas particles is needed. Suppose a closed container contains are a number of N gas particles, each particle moves at a certain velocity. N1 particle moves at velocity of v1, N2 particle moves velocity of v2 and so on, Then the average (mean) velocity square v2, can be expressed as follow : The effective velocity of gas is defined as the root mean square of gas velocity, and it is determined as follow :

8. Hence, the average kinetic energy of gas particle can be expressed using the effective velocity of gas particle as follows : Another expression for effective velocity : By subtituting that value into the Then obtained the following equation : p = gas pressure (Pa) r = density of gas (kg/3)

For diatomic gasses such H2, O2, and N2. at low temperature + 300 K holds : At medium temperature + 500 K holds : The equation of the internal energy above is valid for monoatomic gases, for example : He, Ne and Ar At high temperature + 1000K :
