Graham’s law
Graham’s Law which is popularly known as
Graham’s Law of Effusion was formulated by
Thomas Graham in the year 1848. Thomas
Graham experimented with the effusion
process and discovered an important
feature: gas molecules that are lighter will
travel faster than the heavier gas molecules.
Graham’s law
Diffusion
Diffusion is a phenomenon where there
is a movement of one material from an
area of high concentration to an area of
low concentration. This means particles
or molecules spread through the
medium, it is also the ability of two
gases mix spontaneously until they
form a uniform mixture
Graham’s
Effusion
law
Effusion is a process in which air escapes or leaks through a hole whose
diameter is considerably smaller than the mean free path of molecules.
Under these circumstances, all the molecules which reach the hole will
pass through, as collisions between molecules in these places will be
negligible.
Graham’s law
The graham law of effusion states that the rate of effusion of two gases
are inversely proportion to the square root of there density (p) or molar
mass (m). Expressing the rate of effusion of two gases (1 and 2) at the
same temperature

In one chamber, the pressure is 100 mm Hg, with a volume of 80ml. If the volume
decreases to 20 ml, what is the new pressure of the chamber? Assume the
temperature is constant. (100 mm Hg)(80 mL) = P2 (20 mL)
P2= (100 mm Hg)(80 mL)
(20 mL)
P2 = 400 mm Hg
The new pressure is 400 mm Hg when the volume is decreased to 20 mL

occupied by the gas if the pressure is increased to 2.25 atm.
Charles law
The relationship between volume and
temperature was first discovered by Jacques
Charles.
When the heat source inside the balloon (near the bottom) is ignited, the air will
expand, and the balloon will inflate. The air inside the balloon will then have a
lower density than the surrounding air, enabling it to float.
Charles law
• Charles’ Law, also sometimes referred to as
the law of volumes, gives a detailed account
of how gas expands when the temperature is
increased.
Charles law
• In applying Charles’s law, always use Kelvin as the unit
of temperature. If the given information expresses
temperature in degrees Celsius or some other units,
you need to convert it first to Kelvin.
Charles's law

Gay-Lussac's law
Gay-Lussac’s law is a gas law which states that the pressure
exerted by a gas (of a given mass and kept at a constant volume)
varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas. In other
words, the pressure exerted by a gas is proportional to the
temperature of the gas when the mass is fixed and the volume is
constant.
Gay-Lussac's law
This law was formulated by the French Chemist
Joseph-Louise Gay-Lussac in the year 1802.
The mathematical expression of Gay-Lussac’s
law can be written as follows:
P ∝ T ; P/T = k
Where:
•P is the pressure exerted by the gas
•T is the absolute temperature of the gas
•k is a constant.
Gay-Lussac's law
Gay-Lussac’s law implies that the ratio of the initial pressure and
temperature is equal to the ratio of the final pressure and temperature for
a gas of a fixed mass kept at a constant volume. This formula can be
expressed as follows:
(P1/T1) = (P2/T2)
Where:
•P1 is the initial pressure
•T1 is the initial temperature
•P2 is the final pressure
•T2 is the final temperature
Gay-Lussac's law
This expression can be derived from the pressure-
temperature proportionality for gas. Since P ∝ T for gases of
fixed mass kept at constant volume:
P1/T1 = k (initial pressure/ initial temperature = constant)
P2/T2 = k (final pressure/ final temperature = constant)
3. A gas has a pressure of 0.370 atm at 50.0 °C. What is the pressure at
standard temperature?
4. A gas has a pressure of 699.0 mmHg at 40.0 °C. What is the
temperature at standard pressure?
5. If a gas is cooled from 323.0 K to 273 K and the volume is kept
constant what final pressure would result if the original pressure was
750.0 mmHg?
Combined gas
law
Combined gas law
The combined gas law is the law which combines
Charles’s law, Gay-Lussac’s law and Boyle’s law. It’s an
amalgamation of the three previously discovered laws.
Combined gas law
These laws relate one thermodynamic variable to another
holding everything else constant. The interdependence of these
variables represents combined gas law which states that the ratio
between the product of pressure-volume and temperature of a
system remains constant.
Combined gas law
Scuba diving. As he diver dives deeper into
the water the pressure of the gas inside the
tank increases. Temperature decreases as
the diver goes deeper. The pressure of the
scuba tank increases the volume of the gas
decreases.
Combined gas law
Combined Gas Law Formula
Combined gas law can be mathematically expressed as
k = PV/T
Where,
P = pressure
T = temperature in kelvin
V = volume
K = constant (units of energy divided by temperature)

3. A gas has a volume of 800.0 mL at −23.0 °C and 300.0 torr. What would
the volume of the gas be at 227.0 °C and 600.0 torr of pressure?

4. What is the final volume of a 400.0 mL gas sample that is subjected
to a temperature change from 22.0 °C to 30.0 °C and a pressure
change from standard pressure to 360.0 mmHg?
4. A 5.0 L ideal gas at 25oC and 3.00 atm contains 0.11 moles of gas.
Calculate the new volume, if the amount of gas was increased to 2.3 moles at the
same temperature and pressure.
5. Determine the new volume of a 5.0 L sample of an ideal gas initially containing
0.50 moles if an additional 0.75 moles of the same gas was added. Assume that the
process occurred at constant temperature and pressure.
Key Points of Avogadro’s law
Avogadro’s law states that the volume (V) and the
amount of a confined gas (n) are directly proportional,
given that the pressure and the temperature of the
system are held constant. This can be expressed as
Boyle’s law states that the pressure (P) and volume (V)
of a confined gas are inversely proportional to one
another, given that the temperature (T) of the system
is held constant.
