Gas Laws Notes GAS LAWS Chapter 14 in Prentice Hall Chemistry BELLWORK How are each of the following related? *Consider all other variables constant. Come up with an example which confirms your hypothesis. 1) Pressure and Temperature 2) Pressure and Volume 3) Pressure and Amount of Gas 4) Temperature and Volume 5) Volume and Amount of Gas Factors Affecting Pressure David Bowie Amount of Gas: Increasing the number of particles increases collisions, which increases pressure. Removing particles reduces pressure. Volume: Increasing the volume will decrease the pressure of a gas since collisions are less likely. Decreasing the volume has the opposite effect. Temperature: Increasing the temperature increases the speed of the molecules, which leads to more collisions and greater pressure. Decreasing the temperature has the opposite effect. Units of Pressure atm = atmospheres kPa = kilopascals torr = torr mmHg = millimeters of mercury psi = pounds per square inch 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 760 torr = 760 mmHg = 14.7 psi Units can easily be converted from one to another by using dimensional analysis. Example: 0.89 atm = 760 torr = 676.4 torr 1 atm Boyle’s Law PV = K P1V1 = P2V2 If the temperature is constant, as pressure of a gas increases the volume decreases. Example: A ballon contains 30.0 L of helium Year: 1662 gas at 103 kPa. What is the volume of the helium when the balloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is only 25.0 kPa, assuming constant temperature? V= K V1 = V2 Charles’s Law T T1 T2 If the pressure is constant, as temperature of a gas increases the volume increases. *Temperature must be in Kelvin for all gas laws* Year: 1787 0 Example: A balloon inflated in a room at 24 C *To get has a volume of 4.00L. The balloon is then from 0C to 0 heated to a temperature of 58 C. What is K, add 273 the new volume if the pressure remains constant? P= K P1 = P2 Gay-Lussac’s Law T T1 T2 As the temperature of an enclosed gas increases, the pressure increases at constant volume. Year: 1802 Example: The gas in a used aerosol can is at a *To get pressure of 103 kPa at 250C. If the can is from 0C to thrown onto a fire, what will the pressure be K, add 273 when the temperature reaches 9280C? Combined Gas Law PV= K P1V1 = P2V2 T T1 T2 The combined gas law allows you to do calculations for situations in which only the amount of gas is constant. Freddie Example: The volume of a gas filled balloon is Mercury 30.0 L at 313 K and 153 kPa. What would the volume be at STP? Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT The moles of gas is no longer a constant, and is now represented by “n”. There is also a gas constant, “R”. The gas constant depends on the unit for pressure. R = 0.0821 L*atm R = 8.31 L*kPa mol*K mol*K Example: A deep underground cavern contains 2.24 x 106 L 3 of CH4 gas at a pressure of 1.50 x 10 kPa and a 0 temperature of 42 C. How many moles of CH4 gas does the cavern contain? Ideal vs. Real Gases In order to behave as an ideal gas, gases could not have any volume and could be attracted to other gas molecules. This is impossible, however, under certain conditions real gases can behave very similarly to an ideal gas. Real gases differ most from an ideal gas at low temperatures and high pressures. Checkpoint: Why are real and ideal gases different under these conditions? Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure In a mixture of gases, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of the gases at constant temperature. Ptotal= P1 + P2 + P3 + ... Example: Air contains O2, N2, CO2, and trace amounts of other gases. What is the partial pressure of O2 at 101.30 kPa of total pressure if the partial pressures of N2, CO2, and other gases is 79.10 kPa, 0.040 kPa, and 0.94 kPa, respectively? Graham’s Law of effusion Diffusion: The tendency of molecules to move toward areas of lower concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout. Year: 1840 Effusion: A gas escapes through a tiny hole in a container Gases of lower molar mass diffuse and effuse faster than gasses of higher molar mass. There are equations which describe this phenomena, but we will not cover them in this class.

  • Sanitization: Concentration, Temperature, and Exposure Time
    Sanitization: Concentration, Temperature, and Exposure Time Did you know? According to the CDC, contaminated equipment is one of the top five risk factors that contribute to foodborne illnesses. Food contact surfaces in your establishment must be cleaned and sanitized. This can be done either by heating an object to a high enough temperature to kill harmful micro-organisms or it can be treated with a chemical sanitizing compound. 1. Heat Sanitization: Allowing a food contact surface to be exposed to high heat for a designated period of time will sanitize the surface. An acceptable method of hot water sanitizing is by utilizing the three compartment sink. The final step of the wash, rinse, and sanitizing procedure is immersion of the object in water with a temperature of at least 170°F for no less than 30 seconds. The most common method of hot water sanitizing takes place in the final rinse cycle of dishwashing machines. Water temperature must be at least 180°F, but not greater than 200°F. At temperatures greater than 200°F, water vaporizes into steam before sanitization can occur. It is important to note that the surface temperature of the object being sanitized must be at 160°F for a long enough time to kill the bacteria. 2. Chemical Sanitization: Sanitizing is also achieved through the use of chemical compounds capable of destroying disease causing bacteria. Common sanitizers are chlorine (bleach), iodine, and quaternary ammonium. Chemical sanitizers have found widespread acceptance in the food service industry. These compounds are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and consequently require labeling with the word “Sanitizer.” The labeling should also include what concentration to use, data on minimum effective uses and warnings of possible health hazards.

  • THE SOLUBILITY of GASES in LIQUIDS Introductory Information C
    THE SOLUBILITY OF GASES IN LIQUIDS Introductory Information C. L. Young, R. Battino, and H. L. Clever INTRODUCTION The Solubility Data Project aims to make a comprehensive search of the literature for data on the solubility of gases, liquids and solids in liquids. Data of suitable accuracy are compiled into data sheets set out in a uniform format. The data for each system are evaluated and where data of sufficient accuracy are available values are recommended and in some cases a smoothing equation is given to represent the variation of solubility with pressure and/or temperature. A text giving an evaluation and recommended values and the compiled data sheets are published on consecutive pages. The following paper by E. Wilhelm gives a rigorous thermodynamic treatment on the solubility of gases in liquids. DEFINITION OF GAS SOLUBILITY The distinction between vapor-liquid equilibria and the solubility of gases in liquids is arbitrary. It is generally accepted that the equilibrium set up at 300K between a typical gas such as argon and a liquid such as water is gas-liquid solubility whereas the equilibrium set up between hexane and cyclohexane at 350K is an example of vapor-liquid equilibrium. However, the distinction between gas-liquid solubility and vapor-liquid equilibrium is often not so clear. The equilibria set up between methane and propane above the critical temperature of methane and below the criti­ cal temperature of propane may be classed as vapor-liquid equilibrium or as gas-liquid solubility depending on the particular range of pressure considered and the particular worker concerned.

Dry air and moist air. Readings: Turco: p.11-27, 38-43, 366-367, 490-492; Brimblecombe: p. 1-5 1. Composition of air. The word atmosphere derives from the Greek atmo (vapor) and spherios (sphere). The Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of gases that we call air. Air usually contains a number of small particles (atmospheric aerosols), clouds of condensed water, and ice cloud. NOTE : The atmosphere is a thin veil of gases; if our planet were the size of an apple, its atmosphere would be thick as the apple peel. Some 80% of the mass of the atmosphere is within 10 km of the surface of the Earth, which has a diameter of about 12,742 km. The Earth’s atmosphere as a mixture of gases is characterized by pressure, temperature, and density which vary with altitude (will be discussed in Lecture 4). The atmosphere below about 100 km is called Homosphere. This part of the atmosphere consists of uniform mixtures of gases as illustrated in Table 3.1. 1 Table 3.1. The composition of air. Gases Fraction of air Constant gases Nitrogen, N2 78.08% Oxygen, O2 20.95% Argon, Ar 0.93% Neon, Ne 0.0018% Helium, He 0.0005% Krypton, Kr 0.00011% Xenon, Xe 0.000009% Variable gases Water vapor, H2O 4.0% (maximum, in the tropics) 0.00001% (minimum, at the South Pole) Carbon dioxide, CO2 0.0365% (increasing ~0.4% per year) Methane, CH4 ~0.00018% (increases due to agriculture) Hydrogen, H2 ~0.00006% Nitrous oxide, N2O ~0.00003% Carbon monoxide, CO ~0.000009% Ozone, O3 ~0.000001% - 0.0004% Fluorocarbon 12, CF2Cl2 ~0.00000005% Other gases 1% Oxygen 21% Nitrogen 78% 2 • Some gases in Table 3.1 are called constant gases because the ratio of the number of molecules for each gas and the total number of molecules of air do not change substantially from time to time or place to place.

  • Ideal Gasses Is Known As the Ideal Gas Law
    ESCI 341 – Atmospheric Thermodynamics Lesson 4 –Ideal Gases References: An Introduction to Atmospheric Thermodynamics, Tsonis Introduction to Theoretical Meteorology, Hess Physical Chemistry (4th edition), Levine Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics, Callen IDEAL GASES An ideal gas is a gas with the following properties: There are no intermolecular forces, except during collisions. All collisions are elastic. The individual gas molecules have no volume (they behave like point masses). The equation of state for ideal gasses is known as the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law was discovered empirically, but can also be derived theoretically. The form we are most familiar with, pV nRT . Ideal Gas Law (1) R has a value of 8.3145 J-mol1-K1, and n is the number of moles (not molecules). A true ideal gas would be monatomic, meaning each molecule is comprised of a single atom. Real gasses in the atmosphere, such as O2 and N2, are diatomic, and some gasses such as CO2 and O3 are triatomic. Real atmospheric gasses have rotational and vibrational kinetic energy, in addition to translational kinetic energy. Even though the gasses that make up the atmosphere aren’t monatomic, they still closely obey the ideal gas law at the pressures and temperatures encountered in the atmosphere, so we can still use the ideal gas law. FORM OF IDEAL GAS LAW MOST USED BY METEOROLOGISTS In meteorology we use a modified form of the ideal gas law. We first divide (1) by volume to get n p RT . V we then multiply the RHS top and bottom by the molecular weight of the gas, M, to get Mn R p T .

  • Pressure Vs. Volume and Boyle's
    Pressure vs. Volume and Boyle’s Law SCIENTIFIC Boyle’s Law Introduction In 1642 Evangelista Torricelli, who had worked as an assistant to Galileo, conducted a famous experiment demonstrating that the weight of air would support a column of mercury about 30 inches high in an inverted tube. Torricelli’s experiment provided the first measurement of the invisible pressure of air. Robert Boyle, a “skeptical chemist” working in England, was inspired by Torricelli’s experiment to measure the pressure of air when it was compressed or expanded. The results of Boyle’s experiments were published in 1662 and became essentially the first gas law—a mathematical equation describing the relationship between the volume and pressure of air. What is Boyle’s law and how can it be demonstrated? Concepts • Gas properties • Pressure • Boyle’s law • Kinetic-molecular theory Background Open end Robert Boyle built a simple apparatus to measure the relationship between the pressure and volume of air. The apparatus ∆h ∆h = 29.9 in. Hg consisted of a J-shaped glass tube that was Sealed end 1 sealed at one end and open to the atmosphere V2 = /2V1 Trapped air (V1) at the other end.

The kinetic molecular theory describes the motion of atoms and molecules and explains the properties of gases. As a basis for understanding this concept: a. Students know the random motion of molecules and their collisions with a surface create the observable pressure on that surface. Fluids, gases or liquids, consist of molecules that freely move past each other in random directions. Intermolecular forces hold the atoms or molecules in liquids close to each other. Gases consist of tiny particles, either atoms or molecules, spaced far apart from each other and free to move at high speeds. Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The force in fluids comes from collisions of atoms or molecules with the walls of a container. Air pressure is created by the weight of the gas in the atmosphere striking surfaces. Gravity pulls air molecules toward Earth, the surface that they strike. Water pressure can be understood in the same fashion, but the pressures are much greater because of the greater density of water.

    Worksheet 6 Solutions MATH 1A Fall 2015 for 27 October 2015 These problems are taken from a set of science problems for calculus written by Jim Belk, avail- able at math.bard.edu/belk/writing.htm. If you’re looking for more practice on related rates or exponential growth, check it out! His problems are less terminally boring than the textbook’s problems. Exercise 6.1. In chemistry and physics, Boyle’s Law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a fixed quantity of gas maintained at a constant temperature. The law states that: PV = a constant where P is the pressure of the gas, and V is the volume. dP dV 1. Take the derivative of Boyle’s law to find an equation relating , , P, and V. dt dt 2. A sample of gas is placed in a cylindrical piston. At the beginning of the experiment, the gas occupies a volume of 250 cm3, and has a pressure of 100 kPa. The piston is slowly compressed, decreasing the volume of the gas at a rate of 50 cm3/min. How quickly will the pressure of the gas initially increase? Solution. For the first question, by taking an implicit derivative (using the product rule on the left hand side) we find dP dV V + P = 0. dt dt For the second question, we simply plug the values provided into the equation we’ve just found, dP (250) + (100)(50) = 0, dt dP and solve to find dt = 20 kPa/min. Exercise 6.2. In chemistry, the pH of a solution is defined by the formula pH = −0.4343 ln(a), where a is the hydrogen ion activity (a measure of the “effective concentration” of hydrogen ions).

Hernández-Flores2 1Centro de Investigación en Química Aplicada (CIQA) Blvd. Enrique Reyna #140, 25253, Saltillo, Coahuila, México; e-mail: [email protected] bCentro de Investigación en Química Aplicada (CIQA) Blvd. Enrique Reyna #140, 25253, Saltillo, Coahuila, México; e-mail: [email protected] (Received: 20 November, 2009; published: 22 January, 2012) Abstract: The synthesis, characterization and rheological properties in aqueous solutions of water-soluble associative polymers (AP’s) are reported. Polymer chains consisting of water-soluble polyacrylamides, hydrophobically modified with low amounts of N,N-dihexylacrylamide (1, 2, 3 and 4 mol%) were prepared via free radical micellar polymerization. The properties of these polymers, with respect to the concentration of hydrophobic groups, using steady-flow and oscillatory experiments were compared. An increase of relaxation time (TR) and modulus plateau (G0) was observed in all samples studied. Two different regimes can be clearly distinguished: a first unentangled regime where the viscosity increase rate strongly depends on hydrophobic content and a second entangled regime where the viscosity follows a scaling behavior of the polymer concentration with an exponent close to 4. Introduction Water-soluble polymers are of great interest from the scientific as well as the technological point of view. These polymers have been subjected to extensive research [1]. Water-soluble polymers are present in the composition of different types of industrial formulations as stabilizing, flocculants, absorbent, emulsifiers, thickeners, etc.
