  1. Gas Laws L. Scheffler Lincoln High School 1

  2. Gases • Variable volume and shape • Expand to occupy volume available • Volume, Pressure, Temperature, and the number of moles present are interrelated • Can be easily compressed • Exert pressure on whatever surrounds them • Easily diffuse into one another 2

  3. Mercury Barometer • Used to define and measure atmospheric pressure • On the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm. • This quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere • It is also known as standard atmospheric pressure 3

  4. Pressure Units • The above represent some of the more common units for measuring pressure. The standard SI unit is the Pascal or kilopascal. • The US Weather Bureaus commonly report atmospheric pressures in inches of mercury. • Pounds per square inch or PSI is widely used in the United States. • Most other countries use only the metric system. 4

  5. Boyle’s Law • According to Boyle’s Law the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant pressure. • PV = constant. • P1V1 = P2V2 5

  6. Boyle’s Law • A graph of pressure and volume gives an inverse function • A graph of pressure and the reciprocal of volume gives a straight line 6

  7. Charles’ Law According to Charles’ Law the volume of a gas is proportional to the Kelvin temperature as long as the pressure is constant V = kT V1 = T1 V2 T2 Note: The temperature for gas laws must always be expressed in Kelvin where Kelvin = oC +273.15 (or 273 to 3 significant digits) 7

  8. Charles’ Law • A graph of temperature and volume yields a straight line. • Where that line crosses the x axis (x intercept) is defined as absolute zero 8

  9. Advogadro’s Law • Equal volumes of a gas under the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of particles. • If the temperature and pressure are constant the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of moles of gas present V = constant * n where n is the number of moles of gas V/n = constant V1/n1 = constant = V2 /n2 V1/n1 = V2 /n2 9

  10. Universal Gas Equation • Based on the previous laws there are four factors that define the quantity of gas: Volume, Pressure, Kevin Temperature, and the number of moles of gas present (n). • Putting these all together: PV nT = Constant = R The proportionality constant R is known as the universal gas constant 10

  11. Universal Gas Equation The Universal gas equation is usually written as PV = nRT Where P = pressure V = volume T = Kelvin Temperature n = number of moles The numerical value of R depends on the pressure unit (and perhaps the energy unit) Some common values of R include: R = 62.36 dm3 torr mol-1 K-1 = 0.0821 dm3 atm mol-1 K-1 = 8.314 dm3kPa mol-1K-1 11

  12. Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) The volume of a gas varies with temperature and pressure. Therefore it is helpful to have a convenient reference point at which to compare gases. For this purpose standard temperature and pressure are defined as: Temperature = 0oC 273 K Pressure = 1 atmosphere = 760 torr = 101.3 kPa This point is often called STP 12

  13. Sample Problem Example:What volume will 25.0 g O2 occupy at 20oC and a pressure of 0.880 atmospheres? : (25.0 g) n = ----------------- = 0.781 mol (32.0 g mol-1) Data Formula Calculation Answer V =? P = 0.880 atm; T = (20 + 273)K = 293K R = 0.08205 dm-3 atm mol-1 K-1 PV = nRT so V = nRT/P V = (0.781 mol)(0.08205 dm-3 atm mol-1 K-1)(293K) 0.880 atm V = 21.3 dm3 13

  14. Universal Gas Equation –Alternate Forms m V PM = RT dRT P Density (d) Calculations m is the mass of the gas in g d = M is the molar mass of the gas Molar Mass (M ) of a Gaseous Substance d is the density of the gas in g/L M = 14

  15. Sample Problem A 2.10 dm3 vessel contains 4.65 g of a gas at 1.00 atmospheres and 27.0oC. What is the molar mass of the gas? 15

  16. Sample Problem d = = m M = V 4.65 g 2.10 dm3 g x0.0821 x 300.15 K 2.21 dm3 54.6 g/mol M = 1 atm g = 2.21 dm3 dRT dm3•atm mol•K P A 2.10 dm3 vessel contains 4.65 g of a gas at 1.00 atmospheres and 27.0oC. What is the molar mass of the gas? M = 16

  17. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of the individual gases (partial pressures). PT = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 + . . . . where PT = total pressure P1 = partial pressure of gas 1 P2 = partial pressure of gas 2 P3 = partial pressure of gas 3 P4 = partial pressure of gas 4 17

  18. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures • Applies to a mixture of gases • Very useful correction when collecting gases over water since they inevitably contain some water vapor. 18

  19. Sample Problem A Henrietta Minkelspurg generates Hydrogen gas and collected it over water. If the volume of the gas is 250 cm3 and the barometric pressure is 765.0 torr at 25oC, what is the pressure of the “dry” hydrogen gas at STP? (PH2O = 23.8 torr at 25oC) 19

  20. Sample Problem A -- Solution Henrietta Minkelspurg generates Hydrogen gas and collected it over water. If the volume of the gas is 250 cm3 and the barometric pressure is 765.0 torr at 25oC, what is the pressure of the “dry” hydrogen gas at STP? (PH2O = 23.8 torr at 25oC) 20

  21. Sample Problem B • Henrietta Minkelspurg generated Hydrogen gas and collects it over water. If the volume of the gas is 250 cm3 and the barometric pressure is 765 torr at 25oC, what is the volume of the “dry” oxygen gas at STP? 21

  22. Sample Problem B -- Solution • Henrietta Minkelspurg generated Hydrogen gas and collects it over water. If the volume of the gas is 250 cm3 and the barometric pressure is 765 torr at 25oC, what is the volume of the “dry” oxygen gas at STP? • From the previous calculation the adjusted pressure is 742.2 torr P1= PH2 = 742.2 torr; P2= Std Pressure = 760 torr V1= 250 cm3; T1= 298K; T2= 273K; V2= ? (V1P1/T1) = (V2P2/T2) therefore V2= (V1P1T2)/(T1P2) V2= (250 cm3)(742.2 torr)(273K) (298K)(760.torr) V2 = 223.7 cm3 22

  23. Kinetic Molecular Theory • Matter consists of particles (atoms or molecules) in continuous, random motion. • Particles in continuous, random, rapid motion • Collisions between particles are elastic • Volume occupied by the particles has a negligibly small effect on their behavior • Attractive forces between particles have a negligible effect on their behavior • gases have no fixed volume or shape, take the volume and shape of the container • The average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to their kelvin temperature 23

  24. Maxwell-Boltzman Distribution • Molecules are in constant motion • Not all particles have the same energy • The average kinetic energy is related to the temperature • An increase in temperature spreads out the distribution and the mean speed is shifted upward 24

  25. The distribution of speeds of three different gases at the same temperature 3RT urms = M Velocity of a Gas The distribution of speeds for nitrogen gas molecules at three different temperatures 25

  26. NH4Cl Diffusion Gas diffusion is the gradual mixing of molecules of one gas with molecules of another by virtue of their kinetic properties. HCl 36.5 g/mol NH3 17.0 g/mol 26

  27. Diffusionis the gradual mixing of molecules of different gases. Effusion is the movement of molecules through a small hole into an empty container. DIFFUSION AND EFFUSION 27

  28. Graham’s Law Graham’s law governs effusion and diffusion of gas molecules. KE=1/2 mv2 The rate of effusion is inversely proportional to its molar mass. Thomas Graham, 1805-1869. Professor in Glasgow and London. 28

  29. Graham’s Law Problem 1 1 mole of oxygen gas and 2 moles of ammonia are placed in a container and allowed to react at 850oC according to the equation: 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g)  4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g) Using Graham's Law, what is the ratio of the effusion rates of NH3(g) to O2(g)? 29

  30. Graham’s Law Problem 1 1 mole of oxygen gas and 2 moles of ammonia are placed in a container and allowed to react at 850oC according to the equation: 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g)  4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g) Using Graham's Law, what is the ratio of the effusion rates of NH3(g) to O2(g)? 30

  31. Graham’s Law Problem 2 What is the rate of effusion for H2 if 15.00 cm3 of CO2 takes 4.55 sec to effuse out of a container? 31

  32. Graham’s Law Problem 2 What is the rate of effusion for H2 if 15.00 cm3 of CO2 takes 4.55 sec to effuse out of a container? Rate for CO2 = 15.00 cm3/4.55 s = 3.30 cm3/s 32

  35. Ideal Gases v Real Gases • Ideal gases are gases that obey the Kinetic Molecular Theory perfectly. • The gas laws apply to ideal gases. • In reality there is no perfectly ideal gas. • Under normal conditions of temperature and pressure many real gases approximate ideal gases. • Under more extreme conditions more polar gases show deviations. 35

  36. In an Ideal Gas --- • The particles (atoms or molecules) in continuous, random, rapid motion. • The particles collide with no loss of momentum • The volume occupied by the particles is essentially zero when compared to the volume of the container • The particles are neither attracted to each other nor repelled • The average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to their Kelvin temperature At normal temperatures and pressures gases closely approximate idea behavior 36

  37. Real Gases • For ideal gases the product of pressure and volume is constant. Real gases deviate somewhat as shown by the graph pressure vs. the ratio of observed volume to ideal volume below. These deviations occur because • Real gases do not actually have zero volume • Polar gas particles do attract if compressed 37

  38. van der Waals Equation The van der Waals equation shown below includes corrections added to the universal gas law to account for these deviations from ideal behavior (P + n2a/V2)(V - nb) = nRT where a => attractive forces between molecules b => residual volume or molecules The van der Waals constants for some elements are shown below 38
