Chapter 13: Gases

 

Introduction

       Here we look at the common gases around us

       We also get a better look at models used in science

       Chapter 13 is a combo of gases and models

       Pressure, temp, volume, amount (moles) are the Big Four here, and there’s a lot of math!!!

       We’ll see how they all interrelate…

 

A little background info on gases:

      Gas molecules move really fast and are really far apart!

      For example, comparing volume:
1 mol CO
2 solid = 28 cm3 

       

       

       

       

       

       

      What is the volume of same amount of CO2 gas? = 25000 cm3

       

      Most of the volume of gas is empty space! Extra room can be used to compress the gas (e.g. tires, scuba tanks)

 

 

      Remember in the early days (CHEM A) we saw a gas fills its container, can be compressed, and mixes completely with other gases

      This chapter we emphasize the property of pressure

 

13.1 Pressure

 

      Force versus Pressure:
Which would hurt more?

      A bowling ball lying on your head or a bowling ball on a nail sticking you on your head?

      Other ex: snowshoes, high-heeled shoes, and bed of nails!  

      Gas pressure is like ping-pong balls smacking the walls; more smacks, higher pressure; fewer smacks, lower pressure

 

 

è Pressure is force / unit of area, so last block exerts greatest Pressure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


      The collapsing can experiment is a good intro to Atmospheric pressure

      The molecules of air can pound so hard and so often, the can collapses.

      This atmospheric pressure can be measured with a barometer…

      In 1643 Evangelista Torricelli invented the barometer

      The Hg didn’t flow out b/c of the…

      Atmospheric pressure; it presses so hard on the pool, the Hg was forced up the tube

      On average, @ sea level it rises to 760 mm

 

      Why is there atmospheric pressure in the first place?

      Gravity! It holds the ocean of gases down like it holds liquid oceans down

      The different weather (“hi” pressure, “lo” pressure) can change the height of the column…

 

      Altitude changes it, as well

      High mountains are at the top of the air ocean = lower pressure pushing on us

      Go to Mount Everest (29,035 ft) and your dead in 10 minutes

Units of Pressure

      Because barometers have a column of Hg, one unit is mm Hg

      This pressure device is called a manometer

      h is the pressure in actual mm Hg

 

      mm Hg is also known as torr (after Torricelli)

 

 

 

 

 

      Another unit is the  standard atmosphere

      1.000 atm = 760.0 mm Hg = 760.0 torr

 

      We also use the pascal, the SI unit:
1.000 atmosphere = 101,325 Pa = 101.325 kPa

      But wait! there’s more!

      Used in the US and by engineers is

Pounds per square inch (psi)

      1.000 atm = 14.69 psi

      got all that!

 

Examples!

The mercury has risen to a height of 729 mm Hg. What is this pressure in kPa & psi?

 

 

729 mm

760. mm Hg

101.325 kPa

= 97.2 kPa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

729 mm

760. mm Hg

14.69 psi

 

= 14.1 psi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Change 745 mm Hg to atm.

0.98 atm

 

 

Change 97.5 kPa to atm.

 

0.962 atm

Examples!

      change 28 psi to:

1.   atm

1.9 atm

2.   torr

1.4 x 103 torr

3.   pascals

1.9 x 105 Pa

 

Examples!

      The height of the Hg column in a barometer was 732 mm Hg; what is that in…

1.    atm?

0.963 atm

2.    torr?

732 torr

3.    Pa?

9.76 x 104 Pa

 

 

 

13.2 Pressure & Volume: Boyles Law

      Robert Boyle in the 1600’s did an experiment w/ a tube like this

      The more Hg he added, the greater the Dh, the tinier the space
hmmmm….

 

      Here’s his data; see a pattern?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      The Cartesian diver is a way to show this relationship

      What we see is that as the pressure is increased the volume decreases

      This is an inverse proportion

      in math: PV = k

       This is called Boyle’s Law

       Temperature and amount of gas still play a role,

 but we must assume they are constant!

       P1V1 = P2V2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


      In the examples that follow you can use P1V1 = P2V2

      or you can do it the way I’ll show you

      My way or the equation way, it’s your call

      I’ll always give you three of these variables; you can find the fourth…

Example 1

       A gas sample occupies 100.0 cm3 when the pressure is 150.0 kPa. When the pressure is increased to 200.0 kPa, what is the new V?

       Will answer be > or < 100.0 cm3?

       LESS! Remember: inverse proportion

 

 

 

Example 2

A gas sample occupies 25 liters when the pressure is 100.0 torr. When the pressure falls to 75.0 torr, what is the new V?

Will answer be > or < 25 liters?

GREATER! Remember: inverse proportion

        

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example 3

 

A gas sample occupies 1.00 L when the pressure is 98.0 mm Hg. What pressure is required to make the sample only 0.250 L?

Will answer be > or < 98.0 mm Hg?

GREATER! Remember: V   P↓

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13.3 Volume & Temperature:
Charles law

      After Boyle, work on gases continued

      Jacques Charles, a famous balloonist, quantified a gas relationship

 

      He found that when one cools a gas sample it contracts, when heated it expands

 

      The strange, unexpected thing is that all gases behaved very similarly…

 

      Yes, they all contracted, but their linear relation took them all to the same zero volume temp!

       [The solid line = real data  The dashed line = extrapolated]

 

       All end up at
-273oC

      This temperature at which a gas volume ® 0 is absolute zero…

 

       This is the Kelvin scale and we see that as Temperature rises, so does Volume in a direct proportion

       e.g. if Temperature doubles, Volume doubles

      But Temperature must be Kelvins!!!

 

      All this gives us Charles’s Law

      V = bT

      Which can give the more math-y people amongst us this:

      V1/T1 = V2/T2

      Again, I’ll give you three to find 4th

      Again, I’ll show you another way…

      [remember: K = oC + 273]

 

Examples

A gas sample has a volume of 2.25 L at 298 K. What is the new V when heated to 373 K?

Your predicted answer will be > 2.25 L

 

 

2.82 L

 

 

 

 

 

 


A gas occupies 473 mL at 36.0˚C. What will its new volume be at 94.0˚C?

CENTIGRADE MAY NOT PLAY!!!

First change to K!

36.0 + 273 = 309 K

94.0 + 273 = 367 K

 

 

562 mL

 

 

 

 


A gas occupies 500. cm3 at 27˚C. What will its new volume be at          -48˚C?

CENTIGRADE MAY NOT PLAY!!!

First change to K!

27 + 273 = 300 K

-48 + 273 = 225 K

 

375 cm3

 

 

 

 

 


A gas has a volume of 5.65 L @ 27 oC. at what T will its volume be 6.69 L?

 

82 oC (355 K)

 

 

There’s a gas with V of 9.25 L @ 47 oC; what’s the T when it is 3.50 L?

 

-152 oC (121 K)

 

13.4 Volume & Moles: Avogadro’s Law

      This is easiest of all

      When you blow air into a balloon it gets bigger (duh!)

      When the number of moles (n) increases, so does V

      V and n are directly proportional

      V = an

      called Avogadro’s Law

      V1/n1 = V2/n2

 

Example

A gas sample occupying 3.5 L with 2.0 mol of hydrogen has been pumped up to 7.0 L. How many mol of hydrogen are in the sample now?

 

 

 

 

 

Combining the Gas Laws

      Before we do the Ideal gas law lets talk about the

   Combined Gas Laws

      aka CharBoyle’s Law

      What if I change both the T and the P? what will happen to V now?

 

An oxygen sample has a volume of 7.84 cm3, P of 71.8 kPa, and T of 25˚C. What is the new volume at P = 101 kPa and T = 0˚C?

You can see this is both a Charles’ Law (V & T) and

a Boyle’s Law (P & V)

Do them both at same time... Boyles first, then Charles.

 

 

 

5.10 cm3

 

 

 

 

Example 2

A 1.00 L sample of nitrogen gas has a P of 2.50 atm @ 25˚C. What will new T be if P is raised to 4.00 atm and V goes to 2.00 L?

 

 

 

954 K

 

 

 

13.5 The Ideal Gas Law

      The story so far:

      Boyle’s Law         PV = k

      Charles’s Law      V/T = b

      Avogadro’s Law  V/n = a

      Combining all the constants into one, R, and solving for V we get:    V = R(Tn/P)

      R is called the universal gas constant!

      For us it has a value of 0.08206 L•atm/mol•K (your good friend!)

      Now we multiply both sides by P and…

PV = nRT

      The ideal gas law, where P is in atm, V in liters, n in mols, T in Kelvins

      When we do these problems I will give you 4 of the values for you to find the 5th

      [We’ll assume the gas we’re dealing with behaves ideally (more on that later)]

      Just remember 2 basic things:

1) Rearrange PV=nRT to solve for what you are looking for,

2) All variables must be dressed according to what R says

      Ready?…

Example 1

What is the pressure of 1.65 g of He gas at 16.0 ˚C with a volume of 3.25 L?

 

   We are solving for P so everything else should be here (V, n, R, T)

   But are they properly dressed to go to the Ideal Gas Law? No!

   To the dressing room!

Now in dressing room g à mol, C à K:

1.65 g He à 0.412 mol He

16.0 ˚C à  289 K

3.25 L is OK!

Everything is dressed properly!

NOW, solve for P = nRT/V

 

 

 

 

P = (0.412 • 0.08206 • 289) / 3.25

P = 3.01 atm

 

 

 

 

Example 2

What is the volume in L of 2.5 mol of oxygen gas measured at 25 ˚C and 104.5 kPa?

Are all “dressed” properly?  Solve for V

 

 

Dressing room…

2.5 mol à OK!

25 ˚C à 298 K

104.5 kPa à 1.031 atm

 

Solve…

 

 

 

 

 

V = nRT/P

V = (2.5 • 0.08206 • 298) / 1.031

V = 59 L

 

Example 3

At what temperature will 0.0100 mol of Ar gas have a volume of      275 mL at a pressure of 100.0 kPa?

 

 

Dressing room...

0.0100 mol à OK!

275 mL à .275 L

100.0 kPa à 0.9869 atm

Solve…

T = PV/nR

T = (0.9869 • 0.275) / (0.0100 • 0.08206)

T = 331 K

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13.6 Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure

      There are mixtures of gases all over the place: atmosphere, scuba gear, lab experiments

      But, each gas in a mixture acts just as if it were the only gas

      One of the first people to work on this was our old pal, John Dalton

 

      He said for a mixture of gases in a container, the total pressure is equal to the sum of all the partial pressures

      Partial Pressure is the pressure that a gas would exert if it were all alone

      called Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


      Notice that it really doesn’t matter what gas it is, just how many of the little critters there are (mols)

 

 

 

             Two important things to notice:

            The volume of the individual little atoms or molecules aren’t too important (it doesn’t matter that Ar is bigger than He)

            The forces between the particles aren’t too important neither (at least not now)

 

      Which means this: if you know the mol ratios you know the pressure ratios

      For this example the

   mol fractions are:
N2 = 1.00/1.75 = 0.57
O2 = 0.50/1.75 = 0.29
Ar = 0.25/1.75 = 0.14

      So each contributes its
share of the total P:
ppN2 = 57% of 8.4 = 4.8 atm
ppO2 = 29% of 8.4 = 2.4 atm
ppAr = 14% of 8.4 = 1.2 atm

 

      We use Dalton’s law when we perform experiments like this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


      We aren’t only collecting the oxygen gas, but water vapor, as well - we don’t want the water!!!

      So we have to take the total pressure of the system and subtract water’s contribution to get the pressure of our gas

      Thankfully we have a table like this to show us water’s contributions at different Temperatures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example

Oxygen is collected over water @ 22˚C. The total pressure of the system is 754 torr. The water vapor pressure @ 22˚ C is 21 torr. What is the pressure of the oxygen?

Ptotal = Poxygen + Pwater

Poxygen = Ptotal – Pwater

 

 

Poxygen = 754 torr - 21 torr

Poxygen = 733 torr

 

Example

A balloon contains both helium and nitrogen. The partial pressure of the helium is 93 torr. The total pressure inside the balloon is 101 torr. What is the pp of the nitrogen?

Ptotal = Pnitrogen + Phelium

Pnitrogen = Ptotal – Phelium

 

 

Pnitrogen = 101 torr - 93 torr

Pnitrogen = 8 torr

 

 

 

13.7 Laws and Models:
a review

      Why is it that gases, when the pressure is low and the T is high, fit almost perfectly into the ideal gas equation?
but…

      when the T is low and P is high they deviate, sometimes a lot!?

      first a quick look at laws…

 

      Remember: laws are like summaries of what we see, they are not rules that atoms and molecules must obey

      Laws don’t tell us why these do the things they do; theories (models) do

      Remember: looking at microscopic models can help us see why macroscopic things happen

      Alright? here’s a theory…

 

13.8 The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases

      Here is what is called the kinetic molecular theory (it’s all in the name)

   [ aka: KMT ]

      it’s pretty straightforward, and fairly simple…

 

       Remember: kinetic energy is the Energy of motion, i.e. hot gases are moving faster (#5)

       No gas fits these perfectly; but they can come pretty close

13.9 The Implications of the KMT

      Here we see how the KMT drives the gas laws and find out what T is about…

The Meaning of Temperature

      Temperature, simply put, is just the motion of the little critters

      “High” T means they are moving faster on average, hitting the walls more often

      “Low” T means slower movement, lower average speeds, less smacking of the walls

The Relationship Between P and T

      (Assume a constant V) move the critters faster and they hit the walls more often = higher P!

      Therefore higher T means higher P

 

   Bicycle Pump & Basketball

The relationship between V and T

       If you want to make them go faster (T) BUT hit the walls at the same rate (P), you’d better make the walls farther apart (V)

        \ Charles’ Law!

Examples

      Using KMT, what will happen to P when the # of mols goes up? (all else constant)

      Using KMT, what will happen to V when n is increased? (all else constant)

      Using KMT, what will happen to P when V is decreased? (all else constant)

13.10 Real Gases

      There is no “ideal” gas, but they can get close to behaving like one (i.e. zero individual volumes and no attractions)

      Keep them far apart (low pressure) and moving fast (high temps) and they can act almost “ideally”

 

      This is bringing them closer = bad

      Now their individual volumes play a role
now they can be attracted to each other

      Now they risk becoming liquid!

 

Quick question

      What if all gases behaved ideally?

      Bad!
Nothing could condense to a liquid, no water, no rain, no oceans, no bodies, no life, no good, no duh!

13.11 Gas Stoichiometry

      Now, because of the cursed n in PV = nRT, we can bring back stoichiometry for gas rxns!!! yippee!!

      Remember: stoichiometry is where I give you info on one substance in a rxn, you give me info on another…

Example

      Here’s a rxn:

P4(s) + 6H2(g) ® 4PH3(g)

      What volume of hydrogen gas @ 27˙C and 1.25 atm is required to react with 5.65 g of phosphorus?

      Remember: they can only talk mol language! you still must cross mol bridge!

 

             You have to change
g P4 ® mol P4 ® mol H2 ® V H2
volume is our destination!

             mols H2 can be changed to V by the ideal gas equation!

             so:

            Do the old way until mols

            Find V from the ideal gas equation

 

Example

CaCO3(s) ® CaO(s) + CO2(g)

      What volume of carbon dioxide gas @ 22¢ªC and 1.05 atm can be produced from reacting 6.25 g of calcium carbonate?

      Remember: they can only talk mol language! you still must cross mol bridge!
