Introduction to Gases

EQ:
How do we use the Kinetic
Molecular Theory to
explain the behavior of
gases?
States of Matter
2 main factors determine state:
• The forces (inter/intramolecular)
holding particles together
• The kinetic energy present (the
energy an object possesses due to its
motion of the particles)
• KE tends to ‘pull’ particles apart
Kinetic Energy , States of Matter &
Temperature
 Gases have a higher kinetic energy
because their particles move a lot more
than in a solid or a liquid
 Asthe temperature increases, there gas
particles move faster, and thus kinetic
energy increases.

The Gas Laws
Learning Goals
I will be able to
describe Boyle’s,
Charles’ and Gay-
Lussac’s Laws relating
T, P and/or V and be
able to calculate
unknown values using
the equations derived
from these laws, as well
as the combined gas
law.
1. Intro to Boyle’s Law
 Imagine that you hold the tip of a
syringe on the tip of your finger so
no gas can escape. Now push
down on the plunger of the syringe.

What happens to the volume in the


syringe?

What happens to the pressure the


gas is exerting in the syringe?
1. Boyle’s Law
1. Boyle’s Law
 The pressure and volume of a gas
are inversely proportional (as one
increases, the other decreases,
and vice versa
• at constant mass & temp

V
1. Boyle’s Law

Boyle’s Law leads to the mathematical


expression: *Assuming temp is constant

P1V1=P2V2
Where P1 represents the initial pressure

V1 represents the initial volume,

And P2 represents the final pressure

V2 represents the final volume


Example Problem:
A weather balloon with a volume of 2000L at a pressure of 96.3
kPa rises to an altitude of 1000m, where the atmospheric pressure
is measured to be 60.8kPa. Assuming there is no change in the
temperature or the amount of gas, calculate the weather balloon’s
final volume.
You Try:
Atmospheric pressure on the peak of Kilimanjaro can be as low as
0.20 atm. If the volume of an oxygen tank is 10.0L, at what
pressure must the tank be filled so the gas inside would occupy a
volume of 1.2 x 103L at this pressure?
2. Intro to Charles’ Law

 Imagine that you put a


balloon filled with gas in
liquid nitrogen

What is happening to the


temperature of the gas in
the balloon?

What will happen to the


volume of the balloon?
2. Charles’ Law
2. Charles’ Law

 The volume and absolute


temperature (K) of a gas
are directly proportional (an
increase in temp leads to an
increase in volume)

pressure

2. Charles’ Law

 Charles’ Law leads to the


mathematical expression:

*Assuming pressure remains constant


Example Problem:
A birthday balloon is filled to a volume of 1.5L of helium gas in an
air-conditioned room at 293K. The balloon is taken outdoors on a
warm day where the volume expands to 1.55L. Assuming the
pressure and the amount of gas remain constant, what is the air
temperature outside in Celsius?
You Try:
A beach ball is inflated to a volume of 25L of air at 15oC. During
the afternoon, the volume increases by 1L. What is the new
temperature outside?
3. Intro to Gay-Lussac’s Law
 Imagine you have a balloon
inside a container that ensures
it has a fixed volume. You heat
the balloon.

What is happening to the temp of


the gas inside the balloon?

What will happen to the pressure


the gas is exerting on the
balloon?
3. Gay-Lussac’s Law

 The pressure and absolute


temperature (K) of a gas
are directly proportional (as
temperature rises, so does
pressure)
• at constant mass &
volume
P

T
2. Gay-Lussac’s Law

 Gay-Lussac’s Law leads to the


mathematical expression:

*Assuming volume remains constant

Example Problem:
The pressure of the oxygen gas inside a canister with a fixed
volume is 5.0atm at 15oC. What is the pressure of the oxygen gas
inside the canister if the temperature changes to 263K? Assume
the amount of gas remains constant.
You Try:
The pressure of a gas in a sealed canister is 350.0kPa at a room
temperature of 15oC. The canister is placed in a refrigerator that
drops the temperature of the gas by 20K. What is the new
pressure in the canister?
4. Combined Gas Law
By combining Boyle’s, Charles’ and Gay
Lussac’s Laws, the following equation is
derived:

P1V1 P2V2
=
T1 T2
Example Problem:
A gas occupies 7.84 cm3 at 71.8 kPa & 25°C. Find
its volume at STP.
Any Combination Questions 
a) A gas occupies 473 cm3 at 36°C. Find its volume at 94°C

b) A gas’ pressure is 765 torr at 23°C. At what temperature will the


pressure be 560. torr
The Ideal Gas Law:
 Combines the separate gas laws into
one equation that allows you to solve
for all variables.
PV = nRT
R = 0.0821 L x atm/mol x K
How many moles of air are there
in a 2.0 L bottle at 19ºC and 0.98
atm?
Key Concepts
If the temperature is constant, as the pressure of
a gas increases, the volume decreases.

As the temperature of an enclosed gas


increases, the volume increases, if the pressure
is constant.

As the temperature of an enclosed gas increases,


the pressure increases, if the volume is constant.

When only the amount of gas is constant, the


combined gas law describes the relationship among
pressure, volume, and temperature.
