Ideal Gas Law
An ideal gas is defined as one for which both the volume
of molecules and forces between the molecules are sosmall that they have no effect on the behavior of the gas.
The ideal gas equation is:
PV=nRT
R = Ideal gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1
R = 0.08206 L atm mol-1 K-1

The Ideal Gas Law Subsumesthe Other Gas Laws
During chemical and physical processes, any of the fourvariables in the ideal gas equation may be fixed.
Thus, PV=nRT can be rearranged for the fixed variables:
for a fixed amount at constant temperature
PV = nRT = constant Boyles Law for a fixed amount at constant volume
P/T = nR/V = constant Amontons Law
for a fixed amount at constant pressure
V/T = nR/P = constant Charless Law for a fixed volume and temperature
P/n = RT/V = constant Avogadros Law

Gas Mixtures
Gas behavior depends on the number, not
the identity, of gas molecules.
The ideal gas equation applies to each gasindividually and to the mixture as a whole.
All molecules in a sample of an ideal gas
behave exactly the same way.

Daltons Law of Partial Pressures - I
Definition: In a mixture of gases, each gascontributes to the total pressure: the pressure it
would exert if the gas were present in the
container by itself.
To obtain a total pressure, add all of the partial
pressures: Ptotal = P1+P2+P3+PN

20/34
Daltons Law of Partial Pressure - II
Pressure exerted by an ideal gas mixture isdetermined by the total number of moles:
P=(ntotal RT)/V
ntotal = sum of the amounts of each gas pressure
the partial pressure is the pressure of gas if it waspresent by itself.
P = (n1 RT)/V + (n2 RT)/V + (n3RT)/V + ...
the total pressure is the sum of the partialpressures.

Problem 14-11: Gas Law Stoichiometry
Problem: A slide separating two containers is removed, and the gases
are allowed to mix and react. The first container with a volume of 2.79 L
contains Ammonia gas at a pressure of 0.776 atm and a temperature of
18.7 oC. The second with a volume of 1.16 L contains HCl gas at a
pressure of 0.932 atm and a temperature of 18.7 oC. What mass of solid
ammonium chloride will be formed, and what will be remaining in the
container, and what is the pressure?Plan: This is a limiting reactant problem, so we must calculate the moles
of each reactant using the gas law to determine the limiting reagent. Then
we can calculate the mass of product, and determine what is left in the
combined volume of the container, and the conditions.Solution:
Equation: NH3 (g) + HCl (g) NH4Cl (s)
