The amount of substance is measured in moles (1 mol). Definition of Mole One mole of substance contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12. Avogadro Constant The number of particles in a mole of substance is known as the Avogadro Constant 23 ¡1 NA Æ 6.022 £ 10 mol . The particles may be atoms or molecules. For example, a silicon atom S, helium atom He, hydrogen molecule H2, and carbon dioxide molecule CO2. © Kari Eloranta 2019 Amount of Substance 2 / 7 Amount of Substance n Amount of Substance n If a sample of substance contains N particles, has mass m and molar mass M, the amount of substance in the sample is N m n Æ Æ (1) NA M 23 ¡1 where NA Æ 6.022 £ 10 mol is the Avogadro constant. In chemistry, the mass is usually measured in grams, and the molar mass in gmol¡1 (grams per mole). [m] ¡g The SI unit of amount of substance is [n] Æ Æ ¡ Æ mol. [M] gmol¡ 1 © Kari Eloranta 2019 Amount of Substance 3 / 7 3.2 Equation of State of Ideal Gas Most real gases exhibit similar physical behaviour when the pressure of a gas is low, and temperature of the gas well above the liquidation point. In these conditions, the behaviour of real gases can be understood in terms of the ideal gas model. If an ideal gas is at thermal equilibrium with its surroundings at temperature T , pressure P, and volume V , it follows the equation of state of ideal gas. Equation of State of Ideal Gas The equation of state of an ideal gas is PV Æ nRT (2) where P is the pressure, V volume, n amount of substance, and T ¡ ¡ temperature (in kelvins) of the gas. R Æ 8.31JK 1 mol 1 is the universal gas constant. © Kari Eloranta 2019 Behaviour of Gases 4 / 7 3.2 Universal Gas Constant Equation of state of ideal gas defines the universal gas constant R. Universal Gas Constant R Solving for the universal gas constant R in the equation of state of an ideal gas gives PV R Æ (3) nT where P is the pressure, V volume, n amount of substance, and T temperature (in kelvins) of the gas. If we assume that a real gas follows ideal gas behaviour, we can determine the value of universal gas constant by measuring the pressure, volume, temperature and amount of substance of the gas. The value of the universal gas constant is ¡ ¡ R Æ 8.31JK 1 mol 1. © Kari Eloranta 2019 Behaviour of Gases 5 / 7 Assumptions of the Ideal Gas Model The ideal gas model is based on the following assumptions: 1 A gas consists of a large amount of point-like particles. Because the gas particles are point-like, the total volume of the molecules is negligible compared to the volume occupied by the gas. 2 The gas particles are in random motion with varying speeds. 3 There are no forces between the particles besides the forces caused by inter-particle collisions. 4 When the particles collide with each other, and with the walls of a container, the collisions are elastic. The duration of a collision is negligible compared to the time between the collisions. © Kari Eloranta 2019 Behaviour of Gases 6 / 7 Real Gases vs. Ideal Gases When the pressure and temperature of a real gas are far enough from the liquidation point, the intermolecular forces in the gas are negligible. Because there are no intermolecular forces, an ideal gas does not have internal potential energy, and molecules interact in elastic collisions only. As a result, ideal gases cannot be liquefied. Real gases follow ideal gas behaviour in any state far enough from their liquidation point. When the density of a real gas increases, the intermolecular forces increase as well, and the average separation of the particles decreases. As a result, the assumptions of the ideal gas model do not hold any more, and the deviations from the ideal gas law become greater. © Kari Eloranta 2019 Behaviour of Gases 7 / 7.

  • Solutes and Solution
    Solutes and Solution The first rule of solubility is “likes dissolve likes” Polar or ionic substances are soluble in polar solvents Non-polar substances are soluble in non- polar solvents Solutes and Solution There must be a reason why a substance is soluble in a solvent: either the solution process lowers the overall enthalpy of the system (Hrxn < 0) Or the solution process increases the overall entropy of the system (Srxn > 0) Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a system—entropy must increase for any spontaneous change 1 Solutes and Solution The forces that drive the dissolution of a solute usually involve both enthalpy and entropy terms Hsoln < 0 for most species The creation of a solution takes a more ordered system (solid phase or pure liquid phase) and makes more disordered system (solute molecules are more randomly distributed throughout the solution) Saturation and Equilibrium If we have enough solute available, a solution can become saturated—the point when no more solute may be accepted into the solvent Saturation indicates an equilibrium between the pure solute and solvent and the solution solute + solvent solution KC 2 Saturation and Equilibrium solute + solvent solution KC The magnitude of KC indicates how soluble a solute is in that particular solvent If KC is large, the solute is very soluble If KC is small, the solute is only slightly soluble Saturation and Equilibrium Examples: + - NaCl(s) + H2O(l) Na (aq) + Cl (aq) KC = 37.3 A saturated solution of NaCl has a [Na+] = 6.11 M and [Cl-] =

  • 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 .

  • Molar Gas Constant
    Molar gas constant The molar gas constant (also known as the universal or ideal gas constant and designated by the symbol R ) is an important physical constant which appears in many of the fundamental equations inphysics, chemistry and engineering, such as the ideal gas law, other equations of state and the Nernst equation. R is equivalent to the Boltzmann constant (designated kB) times Avogadro's constant (designated NA) and thus: R = kBNA. Currently the most accurate value as published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is:[1] R = 8.3144621 J · K–1 · mol–1 A number of values of R in other units are provided in the adjacent table. The gas constant occurs in the ideal gas law as follows: PV = nRT or as: PVm = RT where: P is the absolute pressure of the gas T is the absolute temperature of the gas V is the volume the gas occupies n is the number of moles of gas Vm is the molar volume of the gas The specific gas constant The gas constant of a specific gas, as differentiated from the above universal molar gas constant which applies for any ideal gas, is designated by the symbol Rs and is equal to the molar gas constant divided by the molecular mass (M ) of the gas: Rs = R ÷ M The specific gas constant for an ideal gas may also be obtained from the following thermodynamicsrelationship:[2] Rs = cp – cv where cp and cv are the gas's specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume respectively. Some example values of the specific gas constant are: –1 –1 –1 Ammonia (molecular mass of 17.032 g · mol ) : Rs = 0.4882 J · K · g –1 –1 –1 Hydrogen (molecular mass of 2.016 g · mol ) : Rs = 4.1242 J · K · g –1 –1 –1 Methane (molecular mass of 16.043 g · mol ) : Rs = 0.5183 J · K · g Unfortunately, many authors in the technical literature sometimes use R as the specific gas constant without designating it as such or stating that it is the specific gas constant.

  • Molal Freezing Point Depression Constants SCIENTIFIC Calculating Kf Values
    Molal Freezing Point Depression Constants SCIENTIFIC Calculating Kf Values Introduction The freezing point of a liquid is the temperature at which the forces of attraction among molecules are just enough to cause a phase change from the liquid state to the solid state. It is the temperature at which the liquid and solid phases exist in equilib- rium. The solvent molecules in a solution are somewhat more separated from each other than they are in a pure solvent due to the interference of solute particles. Therefore, the temperature of a solution must be lowered below the freezing point of the pure solvent in order to freeze it. The freezing point depression (∆Tf) of solutions of nonelectrolytes has been found to be equal to the molality (m) of the solute times a proportionality constant called the molal freezing point depression constant (Kf). Therefore, ∆Tf = Kf × m, Equation 1 where m is the number of moles of solute per kilograms of solvent. Concepts • Freezing point depression • Colligative properties Discussion The determination of the molecular mass of a substance from the freezing point depression is included in many high school and most college laboratory manuals. In a typical experiment, the freezing point of the pure solvent is measured followed by the freezing point of a solution of known molality. Dividing the freezing point depression (∆Tf) by the solution molality (m) gives the molal freezing point constant (Kf) of the solvent, according to Equation 1. The second part of the lab consists of using the Kf value determined in part one to determine the molality, and ultimately the molecular mass of an unknown substance.

  • Ideal Gas Law
    ATMO 551a Fall 2010 Ideal gas law The ideal gas law is one of the great achievements of Thermodynamics. It relates the pressure, temperature and density of gases. It is VERY close to true for typical atmospheric conditions. It assumes the molecules interact like billiard balls. For water vapor with its large permanent electric dipole moment, it does not quite behave as an ideal gas but even it is close. The microscopic version of the ideal gas law is P = n kB T where P is pressure in pascals, n is the number density of the gas in molecules per cubic meter -23 and T is the temperature in Kelvin and kB is Boltzmann’s constant = 1.38x10 J/K. For typical atmospheric conditions, n is huge and kB is always tiny. So there is a different “macroscopic” version of the ideal gas law with numbers that are easier to work with. Avogadro’s number is the number of molecules in a “mole” where a mole is defined such that 1 mole of a molecules has a mass in grams equal to the mass of an individual molecule in atomic mass units (amu). For example, 1 mole of hydrogen atoms has a mass of ~1 gram. The number 23 -1 of molecules in a mole is given by Avogadro’s number, NA = 6.02214179(30)×10 mol . We multiply and divide the first equation by NA to get P = n kB T = n/NA kBNA T = N R* T where N is the number of moles per unit volume = n/NA and R* is the ideal gas constant = kB NA.

Wear gloves when handling hydrochloric acid. A lab coat or lab apron is recommended. • Hydrogen is highly flammable; there should be no open flames or electrical sparks in the area Discussion Gases, liquids, and solids constitute the three common forms of matter. This experiment gives you the opportunity to explore several properties of gases and to measure a value for the international gas constant R. Gases expand to occupy the container in which they are placed and any gas is less dense than the liquid or solid form of a substance. In addition to expanding to completely fill containers, gases exert pressure on the walls of the container and the pressure increases with increasing temperature. The relationships between volume, pressure, and temperature are summarized in Charles’ law in the Boyle’s law.
