A. Gases
0. Characteristics :
a. expand spontaneously to fill its container (no definite volume)
b. gases are highly compressible
c. form homogeneous mixtures
d. individual molecules are relatively far apart and exert little influence on each other
1. Pressure
a. Devices used to measure gas pressure :
- barometer - device used to measure atmospheric pressure - mercury or aneroid
- manometer - used to measure the pressure of a contained gas - see Fig. 5.3
b. Units of gas pressure
- mm Hg - equal to the amount of air pressure needed to push a mercury column up 1 mm
- torr - named after Evangelista Torricelli - (inventor of barometer), equals 1 mm Hg
- standard atmosphere (atm) equals 760 mm Hg (or 760 torr)
- pascal (Pa) - SI unit of gas pressure (N/m2) = 101,325 Pa = 1 atm
- Pa are very small and not frequently used
Reading pressure using open manometers :
2. The Gas Laws of Boyle, Charles, and Avogadro
a. Four factors which determine the state of a gas :
- Pressure
- Temperature (always in K ; K = C +273)
- Volume
- amount (usually measured in moles)
3. The Ideal Gas Law
a. PV = nRT , where : R = universal gas constant (.08206 L·atm/K·mol)
- it is important to remember that the gas laws describe ideal gases, not real gases
- real gas behavior approaches ideal gas behavior at high temperatures and low pressures
- for calculations you may assume ideal gas behavior unless told otherwise
Note : The other above gas laws can be derived from the ideal gas law. e.g. Boyle's law : If n,R and T are constant, then under condition set one : P1V1 = nRT, and under condition set two P2V2 = nRT, or P1V1 = P2V2.
Consider a sample of gas at two conditions :(" a sample" = n is constant)
Condition set 1 Condition set 2
Constant n,R and T
Constant n , R and P
A the same conditions of T and P, the volume of a gas is doubled, what must happen to the number of moles?
There are 0.122 moles of oxygen gas at 200 K, 760 mm Hg and a volume of 2.0 L. How many moles will there be at 100K, 2.0 L and 760 mm Hg ?
a. 0.122 mol b. 0.244 mol c. 0.0610 mol d. 4.88 mol e. none of the above.
Forty eight grams of oxygen gas occupy 29 L at 350 K and 1.5 atm. What volume would 64 grams of oxygen occupy at the same conditions of T and P?
a. 14 L b. 24 L c. 38 L d. 58 L e. 73 L
b. Boyle's law : Volume and pressure are inversely related at constant temperature
- PV = k, (P1V1=nRT=P2V2) where k is a constant for a given sample of a gas at a specific temperature
- or, P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
- a gas that strictly obeys Boyle's law is an ideal gas
- Boyle's law only holds precisely at low pressures
A thirty gram sample of an unknown gas has a volume of 22.0 L at 750 mm Hg. What will the volume be at 1500 mm Hg?
a. 5.5 L b. 11.0 L c. 22.0 L d. 27.5 L e. 44.0 L
c. Charles's law : The Kelvin temperature and volume vary directly with each other at constant pressure.
- linear relationship
- V = bT, where T is in Kelvins and b is a
proportionality constant
- or, V1/T1 = V2/T2
- K = ºC + 273
- If Charles's law is extrapolated backwards to where V = 0, the value of absolute zero having a value of -273 K can be obtained

a. .75 L b. 1.5 L c. 2.0 L d. 3.0 L e. 4.5 L
e. Avogadro's law : for a gas at constant temperature and pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present.
- Or, equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure have the same number of particles.
- V = an, where n = number of moles and a = proportionality constant or
- this relationship is closely obeyed at low pressures

a. 17 L b. 33 L c. 50. L d. 67 L e. 87 L
f.Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures - For a mixture of gases in a container, the total pressure exerted is
the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone.
a. mathematically : Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 …. Where P1, P2 and P3 represent the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture.
b. The pressure of a gas is unaffected by the identity of a gas. Therefore :
- the volume of the individual gas particles is not important
- the forces between the particles is unimportant
c. The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the moles of gas present, therefore the mole fraction of a gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of a gas :
where a = one of the gases in a mixture of gases
d. When a gas is collected over water by water displacement the vapor pressure of the water needs to be subtracted from the total pressure of the container to obtain the pressure of the gas alone. (Ptotal = Pgas + PH2O)
If a gas is collected over water and the PH2O = 0.50 atm and the total pressure is 1.0 atm, what is the pressure of the gas collected?
f. Partial pressure of gases and mole fraction :since the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the
number of moles present, mole fraction is equivalent to partial pressure :

6. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases - a model based on observations used to explain and predict the behavior of ideal gases.
a. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases states that :
- The particles of a gas are so small compared to the distances between particles that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be zero.
- The particles of a gas are in constant motion. Gas pressure is created by the collisions of the gas particles with the walls of the container. Collisions of gas particles are elastic - no kinetic energy is lost.
