Kinetic Theory of Gases
A gas consists of small particles that: Move rapidly in straight lines Have essentially no attractive (or
repulsive) forces Are very far apart Have very small volumes compared
to the volume of the container they occupy
Have kinetic energies that increase with an increase in temperature
3
Properties of Gases
• Gases are described in terms of four properties: pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and amount (n).
4
Gas pressure:• Is described as a force acting on a specific area
Pressure (P) = Force
Area• Has units of atm, mm Hg, torr, and pascals• 1 atmosphere (1 atm) is 760 mm Hg• 1 mm Hg = 1 torr
1.00 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr

Units of Pressure
Gas pressure,• Is described as a force acting on a specific area

A. What is 475 mm Hg expressed in atm? 1) 475 atm
2) 0.625 atm 3) 3.61 x 105 atm
B. The pressure in a tire is 2.00 atm. What is this pressure in mm Hg? 1) 2.00 mm Hg 2) 1520 mm Hg 3) 22 300 mm Hg

A. What is 475 mm Hg expressed in atm?2) 0.625 atm475 mm Hg x 1 atm = 0.625 atm
760 mm HgB. The pressure of a tire is measured as 2.00 atm. What is
this pressure in mm Hg?2) 1520 mm Hg2.00 atm x 760 mm Hg = 1520 mm Hg

Atmospheric Pressure
The atmospheric pressure:• Is the pressure exerted
by a column of air from the top of the atmosphere to the surface of Earth
• Is about 1 atmosphere or a little less at sea level
9
Altitude and Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric pressure:• Depends on the
altitude and the weather
• Is lower at high altitudes where the density of air is less
• Is higher on a rainy day than on a sunny day
10
Barometer
A barometer:• Measures the pressure
exerted by the gases in the atmosphere
• Indicates atmospheric pressure as the height in mm of the mercury column
11
A. The downward pressure of the Hg in a barometer is _____ than (as) the pressure of the atmosphere.
1) greater 2) less 3) the same
B. A water barometer is 13.6 times taller than a Hg barometer (DHg = 13.6 g/mL) because:
1) H2O is less dense
2) H2O is heavier
3) air is more dense than H2O
