Gases

Why gases?

What is a gas? State of matter where distance between particles is

much bigger than the particles

Kinetic Molecular Theory (Sec. 10.6)

Molecules in a gas are always moving quickly and randomly

Average kinetic energy is determined by temperature

All gases at the same temperature have the same average kinetic energy, regardless of mass

Gas molecules collide with each other and the walls of their container without losing energy (“elastic” collisions)

Kinetic Energy of Gases

Kinetic energy of a single molecule

Boltzmann Distribution and Temperature

Boltzmann Distribution

Gas molecules move with a range of speeds

On average, gas molecules move faster at higher temperatures

Heavier gases move more slowly on average than lighter gases at the same temperature

Don’t confuse average kinetic energy with speed!
