Gases have general characteristics

• Expansion: Expand indefinitely to fill the space available to them

• Indefinite shape: Fill all parts of container evenly, so have no definite shape of their own

• Compressibility: Most compressible of states of matter

• Mixing: Two or more gases will mix evenly and completely when confined to same container

• Low density: Have much lower densities than liquids and solids (typically about 1/1000 those of liquids/solids)

• Pressure: Exert pressure on their surroundings

04/10/23 2

Vapors

• Gas phase at temperature where same substance can also exist in liquid or solid state

• Below critical temperature of substance (vapor can be condensed by increasing pressure without reducing temperature)

04/10/23 3

Pressure: force per unit area (P= f/a)

• Force generated by collisions of gas particle w/container walls

• Related to velocity of gas particles

• Total force = sum of forces of all collisions each second per unit area

• Force = m x acceleration

• Pressure dependent on• Gas particle velocity• Collision frequency

• Collision frequency dependent on• Gas particle velocity• Distance to container walls.

• Changing temperature changes collision force, as well as collision frequency

• Collision frequency changed by altering size of container• Force of collisions is not

affected

Manometers

• Used to measure pressure of enclosed gas• U-tube partially filled with liquid, typically Hg• One end connected to container of gas being

measured• Other end sealed with vacuum existing above

liquid, or open to atmosphere

04/10/23 6

• Pressure is just difference between two levels (in mm of Hg)-indicates pressure of system attached to apparatus• Gas connected to one arm• Space above Hg in other arm is vacuum • Liquid in tube falls to height (directly proportional

to pressure exerted by gas in the tube)• Since pressure of gas causes liquid levels to be

different in height, it is this difference (h) that is measure of gas pressure in container• Pgas = Ph

• If left to atmosphere, it measures atmospheric pressure-barometer

04/10/23 7

Closed-end manometer

• Used to measure pressure of gas in container• Difference in Hg levels indicates pressure difference

in gas pressure and atmospheric pressure• Atmospheric pressure pushes mercury in one direction• Gas in container pushes it in the other direction

• Two ends connected to gases at different pressures• Closed end to gas in bulb (gas filled)• Open end to atmosphere• If pressure of gas higher than atmospheric, Hg level

lower in arm connected to gas (Pgas = Pbarometric + h)• If pressure of gas lower than atmospheric, Hg level

higher in arm connected to gas (Pgas = Pbarometric - h)• If levels are equal, gas at atmospheric pressure

Open-end manometer

04/10/23 9

• If fluid other than mercury is used:• Difference in heights of liquid levels inversely

proportional to density of liquid and represents the pressure

• Greater density of liquid, smaller difference in height

• High density of mercury (13.6 g/mL) allows relatively small monometers to be built

• Readings must be corrected for relative densities of fluid used and of mercury (mm Hg = mm fluid)

• A sample of CH4 is confined in a water manometer. The temperature of the system is 30.0 °C and the atmospheric pressure is 98.70 kPa. What is the pressure of the methane gas, if the height of the water in the manometer is 30.0 mm higher on the confined gas side of the manometer than on the open to the atmosphere side. (Density of Hg is 13.534 g/mL).

04/10/23 11

• 1) Convert 30.0 mm of H2O to equivalent mm of mercury:

• (30.0 mm) (1.00 g/mL) = (x) (13.534 g/mL) x = 2.21664 mm (I will carry some guard digits.)

• 2) Convert mmHg to kPa: • 2.21664 mmHg x (101.325 kPa/760.0 mmHg) = 0.29553 kPa

• 3) Determine pressure of enclosed wet CH4:

• At point A in the above graphic, we know this: Patmo. press. = Pwet CH4 + Pthe 30.0 mm

water column

• 98.70 kPa = x + 0.29553 kPa • x = 98.4045 kPa

• 4) Determine pressure of dry CH4:

• From Dalton's Law, we know this: Pwet CH4 = Pdry CH4 + Pwater vapor

• (Water's vapor pressure at 30.0 °C is 31.8 mmHg. Convert it to kPa.) • 98.4045 kPa = x + 4.23965 kPa • x = 94.1648 kPa • Based on provided data, use three significant figures; so 94.2 kPa.

04/10/23 19

Used to determine absolute zero• From extrapolated line, determine T at which ideal

gas would have zero volume• Since ideal gases have infinitely small atoms, only

contribution to volume of gas is pressure exerted by moving atoms bumping against walls of container

removed• Does not mean all energy has been removed, merely

• Avogadro's law predicts directly proportional relation between # moles of gas and its volume

• Helped establish formulas of simple molecules when distinction between atoms and molecules was not clearly understood, particularly existence of diatomic molecules

• Once shown that equal volumes of hydrogen and oxygen do not combine in manner depicted in (1), became clear that these elements exist as diatomic molecules and that formula of water must be H2O rather than HO as previously thought

• V of gas proportional to # of moles present (V n)

• At constant T/P, V of container must increase as moles of gas increase

• V1 = 5.20 L• n1 = 0.436 mol• V2 = X• n2 = 0.436 + 1.27 = 1.70 mol• V1/n1 = V2/n2

04/10/23 46

• When two gases are mixed together, gas particles tend to act independently of each other

• Each component gas of mixture of gases uniformly fills containing vessel

• Each component exerts same pressure as it would if it occupied that volume alone

• Total pressure of mixture is sum of individual pressures, called partial pressures, of each component

• Pt = PA + PB + PC + …

04/10/23 49

• Since each component obeys ideal gas law (PV=nRT) and has same T and V, it follows that partial pressure of each gas in container is directly proportional to # moles of gas present

• Pi/Pt = ni/nt

• Pi = ni/nt x Pt

• Pi = XiPt

• Xi = mole fraction of gas component i

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases

Describes the properties of gases

04/10/23 60

Main assumptions that explain behavior of ideal gas:

• Gases composed of tiny, invisible molecules that are widely separated from one another in empty space

• Gas molecule behave as independent particles• Volume occupied by molecule considered negligible• Gas molecules are in constant motion, continuous, random

and straight-line motion• Collisions of particles with walls of container cause pressure

exerted by gas• Molecules collide with one another, but collisions are perfectly

elastic (no net loss of energy-exert no force on each other)• Attractive forces between atoms and/or molecules in gas

are negligible• Average kinetic energy of collection of gas particles

assumed to be directly proportional to Kelvin temperature of gas

04/10/23 61

Temperature is measure of average kinetic energy of gas

• Equal #s of molecules of any gas have same average kinetic energy at same temperature

• Greater temperature, greater fraction of molecules moving at higher speeds (higher average kinetic energy of gas molecules)

• Individual molecules move at varying speeds• Momentum conserved in each collision, but one

colliding molecule might be deflected off at high speed while another is nearly stopped

• Result is that molecules at any instant have wide range of speeds

04/10/23 62

At higher temperatures, greater fraction of molecules moving at higher speeds

Average KE, e, related to root mean square (rms) speed u• 4 molecules in gas sample

have speeds of 3.0, 4.5, 5.2, and 8.3 m/s.

• Average speed

• rms

• Because mass of molecules does not increase, rms speed of molecules must increase with increasing temperature

04/10/23 63

• Average kinetic energy of single gas molecule• KE = ½ mv2

• m = mass of molecule (kg)• v = speed of molecule (meters/sec)• KE measured in joules

• Average translational kinetic energy of any kind of molecule in ideal gas is given by:

• Based on understanding of pressure, molecular meaning of gas laws can be appreciated as follows:

Boyle’s Law: inverse relationship between P & V:

• Kinetic molecular theory agrees• If V of container decreased, gas particles

strike walls of container more frequently, increasing pressure of gas

• If V of container increased, fewer impacts of gas molecules with wall per second, decreasing pressure

04/10/23 69

Charles’ Law: direct relationship between T & V:

• Increasing temperature increases average kinetic energy and speed of gas molecules

• Increases force of each collision w/container wall• Increases frequency of collisions w/container wall• Both increase pressure

• If pressure of gas is to remain constant, volume must increase to decrease frequency of collisions with container walls

• If one of the walls is a movable piston, then the volume of the container will expand until balanced by the external force

04/10/23 70

Gay-Lussac‘s Law: direct relationship between T & P

• Increase in temperature increases kinetic energy of gas particles

• Force of each collision increases• Frequency of collisions with container walls

increases

• When gas is heated in container with fixed volume, gas molecules impact more forcefully with wall, increasing pressure

04/10/23 71

Avogadro’s Law

• As more gas molecules are added to the container, # of impacts per second with wall increases, pressure increases correspondingly

• If V of container is not fixed, then V will increase

04/10/23 72

Graham’s Law of Effusion

Experiments show that molecules of a gas do not all move at same speed but are distributed over a range.

04/10/23 73

Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution

• Probability distribution that forms basis of kinetic theory of gases

• Explains many fundamental gas properties, including pressure and diffusion

04/10/23 74

04/10/23 75

As temp. increases, curve flattens out (more molecules have higher kinetic energies and therefore higher average speeds)

(speed)

Highest point on curve marks most probable speed-some move with speeds much less than most probable speed, while others move with speeds much greater than this speed

Diffusion

• Spread of gas molecules throughout volume• Much slower than

average molecular speed because of collision between molecules

• Mean free path• Average distance molecule

travels between collisions

• Factors affecting it:• Density (increasing density

decreases MFP)

• Radius of molecule (increasing size increases collision frequency, reducing MFP)

• Pressure (increasing pressure increases collision frequency, reducing MFP)

• Temperature (increasing T increases collision frequency, but does not affect MFP)

04/10/23 76

Effusion

• Escape of gas through small opening into vacuum• Rate (in mol/s) proportional to average speed u• More collisions gas has w/walls of container,

higher probability it will hit pinhole and go through it

04/10/23 77

04/10/23 78

• Average kinetic energy has same value for all gases at same temperature

• Gas molecules with higher molar masses will have slower average speeds, while lighter molecules will have higher average speeds

• Rates two gases effuse through a pinhole in a container are inversely related to the square roots of the molecular masses of gas particles

• Use equation to find relative rates of diffusion of gases, whether evacuated or not)

• All gases expand to fill container• Heavier gases diffuse more slowly than lighter

ones

04/10/23 79

• KE = cT = ½ mv2

• KE-average kinetic energy• c = constant that is same for all gases• T = temperature in Kelvin• M = mass of gas• v2 = average of the square of the velocities of the gas

molecules• Since cT will be the same for all gases at the same

temperature, the average KE of any two gases at the same T will be the same

• KE1 = KE2

• How many times faster than He would NO2 gas effuse?

• MNO2 = 46.01 g/mol

• MHe = 4.003 g/mol

• √MNO2/MHe = rateHe/RateNO2

• √46.01/4.003 = 3.390

Real Gases(Nonideal Gases)• Ideal gas law works very well for most gases,

however, it does not work well for gases under high pressures or gases at very low temperature

• Conditions used to condense gases• Generalized that any gas close to its BP

(condensation point) will deviate significantly from ideal gas law

• As a real gas is cooled and/or compressed, distances between particles decreases dramatically, and these real volumes and forces can no longer be ignored• Cooling gas decreases average KE of its molecules

• All gases when cooled enough will condense to liquid

• Suggests that intermolecular forces of attraction exist between molecules of real gases

• Condensation occurs when average KE is not great enough for molecules to break away from intermolecular attractive forces

• When they stick together, there are fewer particles bouncing around and creating P, so real P in nonideal situation will be smaller than P predicted by ideal gas equation

• Calculate the pressure exerted by 0.3000 mol of He in a 0.2000 L container at -25oC• Using the ideal gas law• Using van der Waal’s equation

• PV = nRT• (X)(0.2000L) = (0.3000 mol)().08206 L atm/K mol)

(248) = 30.55 atm

• From table 5.3, a = 0.0341 atm L2/mol2 and b = 0.0237 L mol

• (P + 0.0341 x 0.30002/0.20002)(0.2000 – 0.3000 x 0.0237) = 0.3000(0.08206)(248)= 31.60 atm

Pneumatic trough used for collecting gas samples over water

• A gas (H2, O2) which is not soluble (or only slightly soluble) in water can be collected over water

• Pneumatic trough w/bottle full of water submerged• Gas from reaction bubbles into bottle, displacing water

• Pressure of gas inside collecting bottle determined to solve ideal gas equation

• When gases are collected over water, there is some water vapor collected

• Pressure of water vapor depends on T only and is obtained from reference table

• Pressure of gas that was generated is calculated from Dalton’s law of partial pressure Pgas = Patm - Pwater
