Pressure Pressure is the amount of force applied to an area. P = F A Atmospheric pressure is the weight of air per unit of area.
Elevation and Atmospheric Pressure
Pressure is equal to force/unit area SI units = Newton/meter 2 = 1 Pascal (Pa) 1 standard atmosphere = 101,325 Pa (100,000 Pa = 1 bar) 1 standard atmosphere = 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr = 1013.25 hpa = 14.695 psi Meteorologists often report pressure in millibar; 1 mbar =0.001bar =0.1 kpa = 1hPa
The barometric pressure reported for Butte by the weather service was P b = 1018 hpa. What is this pressure in Torr, Atm, and Bar?
Units of Pressure mm Hg or torr These units are literally the difference in the heights measured in mm (h) of two connected columns of mercury. Atmosphere 1 atm = 760 torr = 101.325 kpa = 14.7 lb/in 2
Manometer This device is used to measure the difference in pressure between atmospheric pressure and that of a gas in a vessel.
Variables Affecting Gases Pressure (P) Volume (V) Temperature (T) Number of Moles (n)
Boyle s Law The volume of a fixed quantity of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure.
Boyle Law pressure is inversely proportional to volume (at constant T and moles, n).
As P and V are inversely proportional A plot of V versus P results in a curve. Since PV = k V = k (1/P) This means a plot of V versus 1/P will be a straight line.
Boyle s Law P 1/V (T and n fixed) P V = Constant P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2
Problem. The volume of 1.00 mol of ammonia gas at 1.00 atm of pressure is gradually decreased from 78.0 ml to 39.0 ml. What is the final pressure of ammonia if there is no change in temperature? ans. = 2.00 atm
Charles s Law The volume of a gas is directly proportional to Kelvin temperature, and extrapolates to zero at zero Kelvin. V T (P & n are constant) V 1 = V 2 T 1 T 2
Problem. A 5.6 L sample of gas is cooled from 78 C to a temperature at which its volume is 4.3 L. What is this new temperature? Assume no change in pressure of the gas. ans. = 269.5 K
The temperature in the troposphere is also proportional to pressure.
Avogadro s Law For a gas at constant temperature and pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas (at low pressures). V n V 1 = V 2 n 1 n 2
Avogadro s Law The volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas. Mathematically, this means V = kn
Ideal-Gas Equation So far we ve seen that V 1/P (Boyle s law) V T (Charles s law) V n (Avogadro s law) Combining these, we get nt V P
Combined Gas Law Combining the gas laws the relationship P T(n/V) can be obtained. If n (number of moles) is held constant, then PV/T = constant. P 1 V 1 T 1 = P 2 V 2 T 2
Ideal Gas Law PV = nrt R = universal gas constant = 0.08206 L atm K -1 mol -1 P = pressure in atm V = volume in liters n = moles T = temperature in Kelvin
Ideal-Gas Equation The constant of proportionality is known as R, the gas constant.
Ideal-Gas Equation The relationship V nt P then becomes nt V = R P or the classic PV = nrt

Problem If the pressure of ozone, O 3, in the stratosphere is 3.0E-3 atm and the temperature is 250K, how many ozone molecules are in one liter.
STP Standard Temperature and Pressure (for gases) P = 1 atmosphere T = 0 C The molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.42 liters at STP (put 1 mole, 1 atm, R, and 273 K in the ideal gas law and calculate V) Note STP is different for other phases, e.g. solutions or the phases associated with enthalpies of formation.
Densities of Gases If we divide both sides of the ideal-gas equation by V and by RT, we get n V = P RT
Densities of Gases We know that moles molecular mass = mass n = m So multiplying both sides by the molecular mass ( ) gives m V = P RT
Problem Calculate the density of sulfur hexafluoride gas at 707 torr and 21 C.
Molecular Mass We can manipulate the density equation to enable us to find the molecular mass of a gas: d = P RT Becomes = drt P
Problem To identify a diatomic gas (X 2 ), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 1.00L- bulb, then filled it with the gas at 1.10 atm and 23.0 C and weighed it again. The difference in mass was 1.72 g. Identify the gas.

Consider a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases
Mole Fraction & Partial Pressure Mole Fraction: the ratio of the number of moles of a given component in a mixture to the total number of moles in a mixture. 1 = n 1 = n 1 n TOTAL n 1 + n 2 + n 3 + Mole Fraction in terms of pressure (n = PV/RT) 1 = P 1 (V/RT) P 1 (V/RT) + P 2 (V/RT) + P 3 (V/RT) +

How many moles of oxygen are formed? Hint: The gas collected is a mixture so use Dalton s Law to calculate the pressure of oxygen then the ideal gas law to find the number of moles oxygen. P T = P O 2 + P H 2O

Kinetic Molecular Theory 1. The volume of the gas molecules is negligible compared with the container s volume. 2. Gas molecules move randomly and constantly. 3. The motion of these molecules is associated with their average kinetic energy that is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
Kinetic Molecular Theory 4 Gas molecules continuously and elastically collide with one another and container walls. 5 Each molecule acts independently of all the other molecules in the sample. There are no forces of attraction (or repulsion) between molecules.
The temperature of an ideal monatomic gas is a measure related to the average kinetic energy of its atoms as they move. In this animation, the size of helium atoms relative to their spacing is shown to scale under 1950 atmospheres of pressure. These room-temperature atoms have a certain, average speed (slowed down here two trillion fold).
Main Tenets of Kinetic- Molecular Theory Energy can be transferred between molecules during collisions, but the average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change with time, as long as the temperature of the gas remains constant.
The path of individual particles is a Random Walk The Mean Free Path is the average distance traveled between collisions.

Problem. Calculate the velocity (in mi/hr) for water molecules at room temperature.
Diffusion and Effusion Diffusion: describes the mixing of gases. The rate of diffusion is the rate of gas mixing. Effusion: describes the escape of gas through a tiny hole into a space of lower pressure.
The difference in the rates of effusion for helium and nitrogen, for example, explains why a helium balloon deflates faster. Effusion
At a given temperature the u rms velocity of a gas particle is dependent on temperature and mass of the particle. (from Kinetic Molecular Theory) The u rms equation can be used to derive Graham s Law of effusion (or diffusion). rate of rate of effusion effusion gas gas 1 2 M( gas 2) M( gas1)

Real Gases For real gasses correct ideal gas behavior assumption when at high pressure (smaller volume) and low temperature (attractive forces become important).
Deviations from Ideal Behavior For 1 mole of an ideal gas under standard conditions we can define a compressibility factor, Z = 1 deviations of Z from 1 reflect non-ideal behavior.
In general, deviations from ideal behavior become more significant the closer a gas is to a phase change, the lower the temperature or the larger the pressure.
The value of Z generally increases with pressure and decreases with temperature.
The value of Z generally increases with pressure and decreases with temperature. Briefly At high pressures molecules are colliding more often, and at low temperatures they are moving less rapidly. This allows attractive forces between molecules to have a notable effect, making the volume of the real gas (V real ) less than the volume of an ideal gas (V ideal ) which causes Z to drop below one When pressures are lower or temperatures higher, the molecules are more free to move. In this case repulsive forces dominate, making Z > 1. The closer the gas is to its critical point or its boiling point, the more Z deviates from the ideal case.
