Gas Pressure • Gases exert pressure on any surface they come in contact with. • Pressure is related to the number of collisions the gas molecules have with wall of a container per unit of area per unit of time. • Pressure = Force / Area 1
Elements that exist as gases at 250 C and 1 atmosphere 2 5. 1
Physical Characteristics of Gases • 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. 3 5. 1
• The force of impact of a single collision is too small to be sensed. However, taken all together, this large number of impacts of gas molecules exerts a considerable force onto the surface of the enclosure: the gas pressure • The larger the number of collisions per area of enclosure, the larger the pressure: 4

Boyles Law Demo lets assume that the balloon is tight, so that the amount or mass of air in it stays the same • Density = mass/ volume, • the gas density of the balloon thus varies only with its volume (when mass is held constant). • If we squeeze the balloon, we compress the air and two things will happen: – the air pressure in the balloon will increase. – the density of the air in the balloon will increase. • Since density is mass over volume, and the mass stays constant, the rise in density means that the volume of the balloon decreases: pressure goes up (↑); volume goes down (↓) • Pressure and volume are inversely proportional 8
Boyle’s Law P↓ P↑ V↑ V↓ At a constant temperature and a fixed quantity of gas pressure and volume are inversely proportional. P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 ( 1 = initial 2 = final) 9
Graphical Explanation At a constant temperature and a fixed quantity of gas pressure and volume are inversely proportional. P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 ( 1 = initial 2 = final) 10

Example • A 3. 0 L bulb containing He at 145 mm. Hg is connected by a value to a 2. 0 L bulb containing Ar at 355 mm. Hg. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas and the total pressure after the valve between the flasks is opened. 3. 0 L 2. 0 L Ar He 145 mm. Hg 355 mm. Hg 13
Answer First we need to find the total volume of the bulbs: Vtotal = Va +Vb = 3+2=5 Next we need to do Boyles’s law twice, once for each bulb to find P of each gas. P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 He: 145(3) = P 2 (5) P 2 =87 mm. Hg Ar = 355 (2) = P 2 (5) P 2= 142 mm. Hg 14
Answer Cont. He: 145(3) = P 2 (5) P 2 =87 mm. Hg Ar: 355 (2) = P 2 (5) P 2= 142 mm. Hg Now we need to find the after the valve between the two flasks is opened. Ptotal= P 2 He +P 2 Ar = 87 + 142 = 229 mm. Hg 15
Bonus Convert 229 mm. Hg to atm 229 mm. Hg x 1 atm 760 mm. Hg =. 303 atm 16
Charlies' Law Demo • By warming the balloon up, we increase the speed of the moving gas molecules inside it. • This increases the rate at which the gas molecules hit the wall of the balloon. • Because the balloon’s skin is elastic, it expands upon this increased pushing from inside, and the volume taken up by the same mass of gas increases with temperature. 17
Charlie’s Law • At constant pressure the volume of gas is direct proportional to its temperature. Note: Temp is ALWAYS in V 1 = V 2 Kelvin!!!! T 1 T 2 T↓ T↑ V↓ V↑ 18

Ideal Gas Law 10. 4 Ideal gas: a hypothetical gas whose pressure (atm), volume (L), and temperature (K) behave as predicted every time. (Perfect like each and everyone of you!) One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other. Ideal Gas Law: PV = n. RT gas constant: R= 0. 0821 L x Atm/mol x K 32
Temperature and KE • Temperature is a measure of the Average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. • Higher temperature faster molecules. • At absolute zero (0 K) all molecular motion would stop. % of M ol e c u le s High temp. Low temp. Kinetic Energy 34
Kinetic Molecular Theory • The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the forces between molecules and the energy that they possess. This theory has 3 basic assumptions. 35
KMT 1. Matter is composed of small particles (molecules). The measure of space that the molecules occupy (volume) is derived from the space in between the molecules and not the space the molecules contain themselves. 36
• The molecules are in constant motion. This motion is different for the 3 states of matter. Solid - Molecules are held close to each other by their attractions of charge. They will bend and/or vibrate, but will stay in close proximity. Liquid - Molecules will flow or glide over one another, but stay toward the bottom of the container. Motion is a bit more random than that of a solid. Gas - Molecules are in continual straightline motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other. 37
KMT 3 • When the molecules collide with each other, or with the walls of a container, there is no loss of energy. • Random Fact: The Average speed of an oxygen molecule is 1656 km/hr at 20ºC 38
