Assumptions of the KMTAll gases are made of particles.

Gas particles are in constant, rapid, random motion

random motion.

The temperature of a gas is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles (3RT/2).

Gas particles are not attracted nor repelled from one another.

7/66

All gas particle collisions are perfectly elastic (no kinetic energy is lost to other forms).

The volume of gas particles is so small compared to the space between the particles, that the volume of the particle itself is insignificant.

Calculating Average Kinetic EnergyTemperature is proportional to average kinetic energy…how do you calculate it?

Avg. KE = Average Kinetic Energy (in J)g g gy ( )R = Gas constant (8.31 J/K mol)T = Temperature (in Kelvin)

Find the average kinetic energy of a sample of O2 at 28°C.Example:

Avg. KE = (3/2) RT

8/66

Avg. KE = ? JR = 8.31 J/K molT = 28°C + 273 = 301 K Avg. KE = 3752 J

Avg. KE = (3/2) x (8.31J/K mol) x (301K)

As altitude increases (less air), atmospheric pressure decreases.

Pressure In Versus OutA container will expand or contract until the pressure inside = atmospheric pressure outside.Expansion will lower the internal pressure. Contraction will raise the internal pressure

Example: A bag of chips is bagged at sea level. What happens if the bag is then brought up to the top of a mountain.

Contraction will raise the internal pressure.(Volume and pressure are inversely related.)

The internal pressure is from low altitude (high pressure).

Definition: Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure – The sum of the pressures of each type of gas p yp gequals the pressure of the total sample.

Ptotal = ∑ Ppartial of each gas

39/66

Dalton’s Law in LabDalton’s Law of Partial Pressure is often used in labs where gases are collected.

G ft ll t d b b bbli th h tGases are often collected by bubbling through water.And bubbles up to the top (less

dense).

This results in a mixture of gases—the one being collected and water vapor.

Hydrogen gas is collected by bubbling through water. If the total pressure of the gas is 0.970 atm, and the partial pressure of water at that temperature is 0.016 atm, find the pressure of the hydrogen gas.

Dalton’s Law in Lab ExampleExample:

Ptotal = 0.970 atmPwater = 0.016 atmPhydrogen = ?

Phydrogen = 0.954 atm

Ptotal = Pwater + Phydrogen

0.970 atm = 0.016 atm + Phydrogen

0.970 atm - 0.016 atm = Phydrogen

Example: How many moles of oxygen are present in a sample with a total of 0.556 moles, 1.23 atm and a partial pressure f f 0 87 t ?for oxygen of 0.87 atm?

Ptotal = 1.23 atmPoxygen = 0.87 kPantotal = 0.556 molesnoxygen = ?

Poxygen = χoxygen x Ptotal

Poxygen = (noxygen/ntotal) x Ptotal

Poxygen = (noxygen/0.556mol) x Ptotal

PV =

A gas is collected. The mass is 2.889 g, the volume is 0.936 L, the temperature is 304 K and the pressure is 98.0 kPa. Find the molar mass.

Example:

P = 98.0 kPaChoose the “8.31” for “R” since the problem uses “kPa”

P 98.0 kPa V = 0.936 Lm = 2.889 gT = 304 KMM = ? g/mol MM = 79.6 g/molR = 8.31 (L×kPa) / (mol×K)

98.0kPa x 0.936L = (2.889g/MM) x (8.31 L•kPa•mol-1•K-1) x 304K

MM = 2.889g x (8.31 L•kPa•mol-1•K-1) x 304K/(98.0kPa x 0.936L )

A gas is collected. The density is 3.09 g/L, the volume is 0.936 L, the temperature is 304 K and the pressure is 98.0 kPa. Find the molar mass.

Example:

Choose the “8.31” for “R” since the problem uses “kPa”

R = 8.31 (L×kPa) / (mol×K)

98.0kPa = (3.09g/L) x (8.31 L•kPa•mol-1•K-1) x 304K/MM

MM = (3.09g/L) x (8.31 L•kPa•mol-1•K-1) x 304K/(98.0kPa)

Definition: Real Gas

Real Gas – 2 of the assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory are not valid.

#1 - Gas particles are not attracted nor repelled from one another.

Gas particles do have attractions and repulsions towards one another.

61/66

#2 - The volume of gas particles is so small compared to the space between the particles, that the volume of the particle itself is insignificant.Gas particles do take up space—thereby reducing the space available for other particles to be.
