Average Kinetic Energy (1/2 mv2) of an atom or molecule
Measured in Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin (SI)
F = (C x 1.8) + 32

do.

real gases.

pressure.
The particles do not affect each other, neither attracting or
repelling.
The average kinetic energy is proportional to the Kelvin
temperature.
The molecules move in straight path and all collisions are
elastic
What is an Ideal Gas?

An ideal gas or perfect gas is a hypothetical gas
consisting of identical particles of:





Negligible volume
With no intermolecular forces
Atoms or molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions with the
walls of the container
Ideal gas law calculations are favored at low pressures
and high temperatures.
Real gases existing in reality do not exhibit these exact
properties, although the approximation is often good
enough to describe real gases.
What is Boyle’s Law?





In the mid 1600's, Robert Boyle studied the
relationship between the pressure P and the
volume V of a confined gas held at a constant
temperature.
Boyle observed that the product of the pressure
and volume are observed to be nearly constant.
The product of pressure and volume is exactly a
constant for an ideal gas.
P * V = constant
This relationship between pressure and volume
is called Boyle's Law in his honor.

What is Charles’ Law?



The relationship between temperature and
volume, at a constant number of moles and
pressure, is called Charles and Gay-Lussac's
Law in honor of the two French scientists who
first investigated this relationship.
Charles did the original work, which was verified
by Gay-Lussac. They observed that if the
pressure is held constant, the volume V is equal
to a constant times the temperature T, or:
V / T= constant

at 0°C (STP), what would be the volume?

V = nRT/P
V = (1.0 mol)(0.0821 L atm/mol K)(273 K)/(1.0

and 735 torr?
 Units must be: atm, K
 735 torr(1 atm/760 torr) = 0.967 atm
 23 + 273 = 296 K
 Molar mass of NH3 = 17.0 g
d=

Gases and Stoichiometry

Reactions happen in moles
At Standard Temperature and Pressure
(STP, 0ºC and 1 atm) 1 mole of gas
occupies 22.42 L.
If not at STP, use the ideal gas law to
calculate moles of reactant or volume of
product.
Examples

Consider the following reaction:
2KClO3 (s)  2KCl(s) + 3O2 (g)
heat


Suppose you heat 0.0100 mol of
potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a test tube.
How many liters of oxygen can you
produce at 298 K and 1.02 atm?
Break it into 2 problems, one involving
stoichiometry and the other using the
ideal gas law
0.0100 mol KClO3 X 3 mol O2/2 mol KClO3
= 0.0150 mol O2
Now that you have the moles of oxygen use the
ideal gas law to calculate the volume:
V = nRT/P
0.0150 mol x 0.0821 L * atm (K * mol) x 298 K
1.02 atm
V = 0.360 L


necessary to produce 2.87 L of carbon dioxide at 25ºC and
2.00 atm.
n = PV/RT = (2.00 atm)(2.87 L)
(0.0821 L*atm/K*mol)(298 K)
n= 0.235 mol CO2
0.235 mol CO2 (1 mol NaHCO3) ( 84.0 g)
(1 mol CO2 ) (1 mol NaHCO3)
19.7 g NaHCO3

Calculating the Partial Pressure and Mole
Fraction of a Gas Mixture

A 1.00 L sample of dry air at 25°C and
786 mmHg contains 0.925 g N2, plus other
gases including oxygen, argon and carbon
dioxide.


What is the partial pressure (in mmHg) of N2
in the air sample?
What is the mole fraction and mole percent of
N2 in the mixture?
Convert grams into moles
0.925 g N2 x (1 mol N2/28.0g N2)
=0.0330 mol N2
 Substitute into ideal gas law
PN2 = nN2RT/V
=0.0330mol x 0.0821 L*atm/K*mol x 298
1.00 L
=0.807 atm = 613 mmHg




The mole fraction of N2 in the air is
= PN2/P = 613 mmHg/786 mmHg
=0.780
Mole percent equals mole fraction x 100
=0.780 x 100 = 78%
Air contains 78.0 mole percent of N2
Vapor Pressure




Water evaporates!
When that water evaporates, the vapor
has a pressure.
Gases are often collected over water so
the vapor pressure of water must be
subtracted from the total pressure.
Vapor pressure varies by temperature and
must be given in the problem or in a
table.

Hydrogen gas is produced by the reaction
of hydrochloric acid, HCl, on zinc metal:
2HCl (aq) + Zn (s) —> ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

The gas is collected over water. If 156 mL
of gas is collected at 19°C and 769 mmHg
total pressure, what is the mass of
hydrogen collected?


First find the Partial Pressure. The vapor
pressure of water at 19°C is 16.5 mmHg
P = PH2 + PH2O
PH2 = P - PH2O
PH2 =769 – 16.5 = 752 mmHg
Use the ideal gas law to find the moles of
hydrogen collected.
P: 752 mmHg x (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.989 atm
V: 156 mL x (1 L/1000 mL) = 0.156 L
T: 19 + 273 = 292 K
R: 0.0821 L*atm/K*mol
n: ?


Solve for moles:
n = PV/RT
= 0.989 x 0.156/0.0821 x 292
=0.00644 mol H2
Convert moles to grams:
0.00644 mol H2 x (2.02g/1 mol H2)
=0.0130 g H2
What’s Diffusion and Effusion?



Only a few physical properties of gases depends on the
identity of the gas.
Diffusion - The rate at which two gases mix.
Effusion - The rate at which a gas escapes through a
pinhole into a vacuum.
What is Graham’s Law?





We know that Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv2
If two bodies of unequal mass have the same
kinetic energy, which moves faster?
The lighter one!
Thus, for two gases at the same temperature,
the one with lower molecular mass will
diffuse/effuse faster.
The rate of effusion/diffusion of a gas is
inversely proportional to the square root of its
mass.

Calculate the ratio of effusion rates of molecules
of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide from the
same container and at the same temperature
and pressure:
Rate of effusion of CO2 = √Mm SO2
Rate of effusion of SO2 √Mm CO2
= √64.1/44.0 = 1.21
In other words, carbon dioxide effuses 1.21
times faster than sulfur dioxide.
