Section 11.1

Gas Pressure

• Evaluate atmospheric pressure.• Demonstrate the ability to use dimensional

analysis to convert pressure units.

Gas pressure is related to the mass of the gas and to the motion of the gas particles.

Section 11.1

Gas FactorsThere are 5 main factors that scientists take into consideration when considering the behavior of gases:

•The pressure of the gas,

•The volume of the gas,

•The temperature of the gas,

•The mass of the gas,

•The number of particles of the gas.

Section 11.1

Gas FactorsThose 5 factors interact in predictable ways so that scientists can predict the behavior of the gases when the conditions of those factors are known.

For example:

•When pressure is increased, volume is decreased.

•When temperature is increased, volume is increased.

Section 11.1

Defining Gas Pressure• Gas pressure is also related to the mass of

the gas and to the motion of the gas particles.

Section 11.1

Defining Gas Pressure (cont.)

• The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its mass.

•When mass increases, pressure increases

•When mass decreases, pressure decreases

• The more often the gas particles strike the walls of their container, the greater the pressure.

Section 11.1

Defining Gas Pressure (cont.)

Section 11.1

Defining Gas Pressure (cont.)

• If the volume of the container and the number of particles of gas are not changed, the pressure of gas increases in direct proportion to the Kelvin temperature.

•Kelvin temperatures must be used because they reflect the kinetic energy of the gas particles.

Section 11.1

Devices to Measure Pressure• A barometer is an

instrument that measures absolute pressure; that is, the total pressures exerted by all gases, including the atmosphere.

Section 11.1

Devices to Measure Pressure (cont.)

• The standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as the pressure that supports a 760-mm column of mercury

•(1.00 atm = 760 mm Hg).

• Pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure within a contained unit of gas, such as an inflated tire.

Section 11.1

Pressure Units• The SI unit for measuring pressure is the

pascal (Pa).

• A kilopascal is equal to 1000 pascals.

• One standard atmosphere (1.00 atm) is equal to 101.3 kilopascals.

• 1.00 atm = 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch)

Section 11.1

Pressure Units (page 377)

Section 11.1

How It Works (page 375)• Tire pressure gauges

are devices that measure the pressure of the air inside an inflated tire or basketball.

• Because uninflated tires contain some air at atmospheric pressure, tire gauges measure the amount of pressure that exceeds atmospheric pressure.

Section 11.1

How It Works (page 375)1. The pin in the head of the gauge pushes downward

on the tire-valve inlet and allows air from the tire to flow into the gauge.

2. The air flowing into the gauge pushes against a movable piston that pushes a sliding calibrated scale.

3. The piston moves along the cylinder, compressing the spring until the force of air pressing on the surface of the piston is equal to the force of the compressed spring on the piston.

4. The pressure of the air in the cylinder, which is the same as the pressure of the air in the tire, is read from the scale.

Section 11.1

How It Works (page 375)• To find absolute pressure, add the

atmospheric pressure to the gauge pressure.

• Example: If you are measuring the pressure in your tires and want to know the absolute pressure, do the following:

• Find the tire pressure: 34.0 psi

• Add this pressure to atmospheric pressure: 1.00 atm = 14.7 psi

• 34.0 psi + 14.7 psi = 48.7 psi

Section 11.1

Pressure Conversions• You can convert pressure measurements

to other equivalent units.

• The method used to convert units of measurement to other units is called dimensional analysis.

• This method simply converts units by multiplying a given value with one set of units by a fraction that equals 1.

Section 11.1

Pressure ConversionsExample:

•The reading of a tire-pressure gauge is 35.0 psi. What is the equivalent pressure in kilopascals?

•Multiply 35.0 psi by a fraction that has the units you want to go to over the units you are trying to leave.

•The fraction should have a value of 1.

•35.0 psi x 101.3 kPa/14.7 psi = 241 kPa.

•Multiply across the top and divide by the value on the bottom.
