Kinetic Molecular Theory Postulates of the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases 1. Gases consist of particles (atoms or molecules) in constant, straight-line motion. 2. Gas particles do not attract or repel each other (no interactions). Particles collide with each other and surfaces elastically. Collisions with walls of container define pressure (P = F/A). 3. Gas particles are small, compared with the distances between them. Hence, the volume (size) of the individual particles can be assumed to be negligible (zero). 4. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas
Properties of Gases expand to fill any container. – random motion, no attraction Gases are fluids (like liquids). – particles flow easily Gases have very low densities. – lots of empty space; particles spaced far apart Gases are easily compressible. – empty space reduced to smaller volume Courtesy Christy Johannesson www. nisd. net/communicationsarts/pages/chem
Collisions of Gas Particles Pressure = collisions on container walls
Changing the Size of the Container • In a smaller container - particles have less room to move. • Particles hit the sides of the container more often. • This causes an increase in pressure. • As volume decreases: pressure increases.

Dalton’s Law The total pressure of a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Ptotal = P 1 + P 2 +. . . In a gaseous mixture, a gas’s partial pressure is the one the gas would exert if it were by itself in the container. The mole ratio in a mixture of gases determines each gas’s partial pressure.

Gas Mixtures and Dalton’s Law
Gas Collected Over Water When a H 2 gas is collected by water displacement, the gas in the collection bottle is actually a mixture of H 2 and water vapor.
Dalton’s Law Hydrogen gas is collected over water at 22°C. Find the pressure of the dry gas if the atmospheric pressure is 94. 4 k. Pa. The total pressure in the collection bottle is equal to atmospheric pressure and is a mixture of H 2 and water vapor. GIVEN: P H 2 = ? Ptotal = 94. 4 k. Pa PH 2 O = 2. 6 k. Pa WORK: Ptotal = PH 2 + PH 2 O 94. 4 k. Pa = PH 2 + 2. 6 k. Pa PH 2 = 91. 8 k. Pa Look up water-vapor pressure on p. 10 for 22°C.

Dalton’s Law Suppose you are given four containers – three filled with noble gases. The first 1 L container is filled with argon and exerts a pressure of 2 atm. The second 3 liter container is filled with krypton and has a pressure of 380 mm Hg. The third 0. 5 L container is filled with xenon and has a pressure of 607. 8 k. Pa. If all these gases were transferred into an empty 2 L container…what would be the pressure in the “new” container? PKr = 380 mm Hg PAr = 2 atm V = 1 liter Pxe 607. 8 k. Pa V = 3 liters V = 0. 5 liter Ptotal = ? V = 2 liters
…just add them up PKr = 380 mm Hg PAr = 2 atm Ptotal = ? Pxe 607. 8 k. Pa V = 1 liter V = 3 liters V = 0. 5 liter V = 2 liters Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures “Total Pressure = Sum of the Partial Pressures” PT = PAr + PKr + PXe + … P 1 x V 1 = P 2 x V 2 (0. 5 atm) (3 L) = (X atm) (2 L) PKr = 0. 75 atm P 1 x V 1 = P 2 x V 2 (6 atm) (0. 5 L) = (X atm) (2 L) Pxe = 1. 5 atm PT = 1 atm + 0. 75 atm + 1. 5 atm PT = 3. 25 atm
