• Gases assume the volume and shape of their containers.

• Gases are the most compressible state of matter.

• Gases will mix evenly and completely when confined to

the same container.

• Gases have much lower densities than liquids and solids.

Gases differ from liquids and solids:

They are compressible.

Pressure, volume, temperature, and amount

are related.

Some applications

• How does a pressure cooker work?

• How is gas pressure applied in spray cans?

• How does a hot air balloon work?

• Why do we not want our tires to be full during hot summer days?

• Why do balloons deflate when left outside on a cold weather?

1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr

1 atm = 101,325 Pa

A balloon was immersed in liquid nitrogen (black container) and is shown immediately after being removed. It shrank because air inside contracts in volume.

As the air inside warms, the balloon expands to its orginial size.

Page 18: Chapter 5 The Gaseous State - HCC Learning Web

Charles’ Law

• Volume vs. Temperature at constant pressure

• Volume is directly proportional to temperature

• Vα T @ constant P

• V=kT; V/T= k

• V1/T1 = V2/T2

• 1. If a sample of gas occupies 6.80 L at 3250 C, what will be its volume at 250C if the pressure does not change?

Note: convert Celsius to Kelvin scale by adding 273 to the given 0C.

A sample of carbon monoxide gas occupies 3.20 L at 125 0C.

At what temperature will the gas occupy a volume of 1.54 L if

the pressure remains constant?

V1 = 3.20 L

V2 = 1.54 L

T2 = ?

T2 = V2 x T1

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

The reference condition for gases, chosen by

convention to be exactly 0°C and 1 atm pressure.

The molar volume, Vm, of a gas at STP is 22.4

L/mol.

The volume of the

yellow box is 22.4 L. To

STP

• At STP,

• T=00C or 273 K

• P= 1atm

• At Standard temperature and pressure, molar volume is 22.4 L

• Meaning, 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP

Collecting a Gas over Water

Page 49: Chapter 5 The Gaseous State - HCC Learning Web

Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 5 | 49

Collecting Gas Over Water Gases are often collected over water. The result is

a mixture of the gas and water vapor.

The total pressure is equal to the sum of the gas

pressure and the vapor pressure of water.

The partial pressure of water depends only on

temperature and is known (Table 5.6).

The pressure of the gas can then be found using

Dalton’s law of partial pressures.

Kinetic-Molecular Theory (Kinetic Theory)

A theory, developed by physicists, that is based on

the assumption that a gas consists of molecules in

constant random motion.

Kinetic energy is related to the mass and velocity:

m = mass

v = velocity

Page 56: Chapter 5 The Gaseous State - HCC Learning Web

Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 5 | 56

Postulates of the Kinetic Theory

1. Gases are composed of molecules whose sizes are negligible.

2. Molecules move randomly in straight lines in all directions and at various speeds.

3. The forces of attraction or repulsion between two molecules (intermolecular forces) in a gas are very weak or negligible, except when the molecules collide.

4. When molecules collide with each other, the collisions are elastic.

5. The average kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to the absolute temperature.

Page 57: Chapter 5 The Gaseous State - HCC Learning Web

Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 5 | 57

An elastic collision is one in which no kinetic

energy is lost. The collision on the left causes the

ball on the right to swing the same height as the

ball on the left had initially, with essentially no loss

of kinetic energy.

Molecular Speeds According to kinetic theory, molecular speeds vary

over a wide range of values. The distribution

depends on temperature, so it increases as the

temperature increases.

Real Gases At high pressure the relationship between pressure

and volume does not follow Boyle’s law. This is

illustrated on the graph below.

At high pressure, some of the assumptions of the

kinetic theory no longer hold true:

1. At high pressure, the volume of the gas

molecule (Postulate 1) is not negligible.

2. At high pressure, the intermolecular forces

(Postulate 3) are not negligible.

Van der Waals Equation An equation that is similar to the ideal gas law, but

which includes two constants, a and b, to account

for deviations from ideal behavior.

The term V becomes (V – nb).

The term P becomes (P + n2a/V2).

Values for a and b are found in Table 5.7

Use the van der Waals equation to calculate

the pressure exerted by 2.00 mol CO2 that

has a volume of 10.0 L at 25°C. Compare

this with value with the pressure obtained

from the ideal gas law.

n = 2.00 mol

V = 10.0 L

T = 25°C = 298 K

For CO2:

a = 3.658 L2 atm/mol2

b = 0.04286 L/mol
