BEHAVIOR OF GASES

• Gas is generated by the decomposition
of sodium azide, NaN3.
• 2 NaN3 ---> 2 Na + 3 N2

General Properties of
Gases
• There is a lot of “free”
space in a gas.
• Gases can be expanded
infinitely.
• Gases occupy containers
uniformly and completely.
• Gases diffuse and mix
rapidly.
7
Properties of Gases
Gas properties can be
modeled using mathematics.
Model depends on—
• V = volume of the gas (L)
• T = temperature (K)
• n = amount (moles)
• P = pressure (atmospheres)
8
Pressure of air is
measured with a Pressure
BAROMETER
(developed by Torricelli
in 1643)
Hg rises in tube until force
of Hg (down) balances
the force of atmosphere
(pushing up).
P of Hg pushing down
related to
• Hg density
• column height
9
Pressure
Column height measures
P of atmosphere, where -
1 standard atm
= 760 mm Hg
= 29.9 inches Hg
= about 34 feet of water
SI unit is PASCAL, Pa, where
1 atm = 101.325 kPa
1 atm = 1.01325 barr
10
Gas Pressure
• Pressure is defined as the force per unit area, and is
usually measured in Pascals, which are N/m2.
• We measure pressure in mmHg or torr.
• These units of pressure are equivalent come from
measurements using a Torricellian barometer.

P = pressure, F = Force ~ mass (g),
A (area) = cm2, d = density (g/cm3),

P is proportional to the height of the liquid mercury.

Boyle’s Law
If n and T are
constant, then
PV = (nRT) = k
This means, for
example, that P Robert Boyle
goes up as V goes (1627-1691).

Cork, Ireland.

Boyle’s Law
• Boyle's law states that the pressure is
inversely proportional to volume, ----

14
Boyle’s Law
A bicycle pump is
a good example
of Boyle’s law.
As the volume of
the air trapped in
the pump is
reduced, its
pressure goes
up, and air is
forced into the See Figures

Charles’s
15
Law
If n and P are
constant, then
V = (nR/P)T = kT

proportional. Jacques Charles

boron and studied
gases. Balloonist.

22
THE IDEAL GAS LAW
• Combining the previous gas laws,
produces the Ideal Gas Law.
• PV = nRT R = 0.082057 L atm/K mol
• Standard temperature and pressure, STP,
are defined as:
0oC or 273.15 K
and exactly one atmosphere pressure.
23
THE IDEAL GAS LAW
• One mole of gas occupies 22.414 L at STP,
and is called the standard molar volume or
the molar volume at standard conditions.
• The gas law can also be written in another
form:
P1 V1 P2 V2
----------- = ------------
n1 T1 n2 T2
24
Sample Problems
• Calculate the new temperature if a
sample of gas at 25.0oC has a volume
of 475 liters at a pressure of 3.50 atm
and has a new volume of 825 liters at
a pressure of 2.85 atm.
• Calculate the volume of the original
sample at STP.

Using PV = nRT
How much N2 is req’d to fill a small room
with a volume of 960 cubic feet (27,000 L)
to P = 745 mm Hg at 25 oC?
R = 0.0821 L•atm/K•mol
Solution
1. Convert all data into proper units
V = 27,000 L
T = 25 oC + 273 = 298 K
P = 745 mm Hg (1 atm/760 mm Hg)
= 0.980 atm

Solution
2. Now calc. n = PV / RT

(0.980 atm)(2.7 x 10 L)
n =

Solution
P of O2 = nRT/V

2 H2O2(liq) ---> 2 H2O(g) + O2(g)
Solution
What is P of H2O? Could calculate as
above. But recall Avogadro’s hypothesis.
V n at same T and P
P n at same T and V
There are 2 times as many moles of H2O a
moles of O2. P is proportional to n.
Therefore, P of H2O is twice that of O2.
P of H2O = 0.32 atm

KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY
(KMT)
Theory used to explain gas laws.
KMT assumptions are:
• Gases consist of molecules in
constant, random motion.
• P arises from collisions with container
walls.
• No attractive or repulsive forces
between molecules. Collisions elastic.
• Volume of molecules is negligible.
54
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Because we assume molecules are in
motion, they have a kinetic energy.
Ave. KE = (1/2)(mass)(ave. speed)2
At the same T, all gases have the same
average KE.
As T goes up, KE also increases and so
does average speed.
KE a T, 1/2 mm2 = CT
(C is a nonspecific constant)
55
Kinetic Molecular Theory
At the same T, all gases have
the same average KE.
As T goes up, KE also
increases and so does speed.
56
Distribution of Molecular Speeds
• The equation: 1/2 mm2 = CT becomes
1/2 Mm2 = 3/2RT and Mm2 = 3RT
R = 8.31 J/K mol and M the molar mass kg /mole.
• The average speed of molecules, m, can be
calculated if the temperature and molar mass are
know.
• For two gases at the same temperature, the
following is true:
MAmA2 = MBmB2

GAS DIFFUSION
AND EFFUSION
An application of KMT
• Diffusion is the
gradual mixing of
molecules of
different gases.
• Effusion is the
movement of
molecules through a
small hole into an
empty container.
61
GAS DIFFUSION AND
EFFUSION
Molecules effuse thru holes in
a rubber balloon, for example,
at a rate (= moles/time) that is:
He
• proportional to T
• inversely proportional to M.
Therefore, He effuses more
rapidly than O2 at same T.
62
GAS DIFFUSION AND EFFUSION
Graham’s law
governs effusion
and diffusion of
gas molecules.
Rate for A M of B
Rate for B M of A
Rate of effusion is
inversely proportional Thomas Graham, 1805-
to its molar mass. 1869. Professor in
Glasgow and London.
63
Gas Diffusion
relation of mass to rate of diffusion
• HCl and NH3 diffuse
from opposite ends
of tube.
• Gases meet to form
NH4Cl.
MHCl > MNH

• Therefore, NH4Cl
forms closer to HCl
end of tube.

Using KMT to Understand
Gas Laws

• Gases consist of molecules in
constant, random motion.
• P arises from collisions with container
walls.
• No attractive or repulsive forces
between molecules. Collisions elastic.

Gases and Stoichiometry
These problems are worked the
same as any stoichiometry
problem. For example:
9.82 L of nitrogen at STP will
produce how many liters of
ammonia at STP?
3 H2 + N2 --> 2 NH3
