Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molecular Mass Determination M = molar mass and m = mass in grams m (grams) m M (molar mass)= so n = n (moles) M The ideal gas equation rearranges to: PV n = RT Setting the equations equal to one another: m = PV M RT Rearranges to: mrt M = PV Alternative to equation: (A) find n using the ideal gas equation; (B) Divide m (grams) by n (moles) to get grams/mol.

Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry The Law of Combining Volumes When gases measured at the same temperature and pressure react, the volumes of gaseous reactants and products are in small wholenumber ratios. Example: At a given temperature and pressure, 2.00 L of H 2 will react with 1.00 L of O 2 Each flask contains the same number of molecules. Therefore, the ratio of volumes is the same as the mole ratio from the balanced equation: 2 H 2 + O 2 2 H 2 O
Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry We can use the law of combining volumes for stoichiometry only for gases and only if the gases are at the same temperature and pressure. Otherwise, we must use stoichiometric methods from Chapter 3 combined with the ideal gas equation.
Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry Example How many liters of O 2 (g) are consumed for every 10.0 L of CO 2 (g) produced in the combustion of liquid pentane, C 5 H 12, if all volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure? C 5 H 12 (l) + 8O 2 (g) 5 CO 2 (g) + 6 H 2 O(l) 8 L O 2 10.0 L CO 2 x = 16.0 L O 2 5 L CO 2
Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry As in other stoichiometry calculations, the problem centers around the mole ratio: If A is a gas, we find moles of A first by using the ideal gas equation and P, V, and T. If B is a gas, we solve for moles of B (n), then use the ideal gas equation to find P, V, or T.

Section 5.8 Real Gases Real Gases and van der Waals Equation An ideal gas is a hypothetical concept. No gas exactly follows the ideal gas law. Real gas molecules do have volume, and the molecules of real gases do experience attractive forces. Gases behave most like ideal gases at low pressure, high temperature. Copyright Cengage Learning.

Real Gases (van der Waals Equation) n 2 a (P + ) (V-nb) = nrt V 2 Corrected pressure Corrected volume a and b are constants derived from experimental results a has units of L 2 atm/mol 2 b has units of L/mol. Copyright Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 76
Two corrective Factors: 1. n 2 a/v 2 alters the pressure It accounts for the intermolecular attractive forces between gas molecules A low value for a reflects weak IM forces; a high value reflects stronger IM forces. 2. nb alters the volume n 2 a (P + )(V-nb) = nrt V 2 It accounts for the volume occupied by the gas molecules The value of b is generally much lower than a The value of b generally increases with the size of the molecule 77

Example: 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide gas at 373 K occupies 536 ml. What is the calculated value of the pressure in atm using: (a) Ideal gas equation (b) Van der Waals equation? Van der Waals constants for carbon dioxide: a = 3.61 L 2 atm mol -2 ; b = 0.0428 L mol -1. n (a) Use Van der Waals equation! 2 a (P + )(V-nb) = nrt V 2 (1.00) 2 (3.61) [P + -----------------][0.536 (1.00)(0.0428)]=(1.00)(0.08206)(373) (.536) 2 (P + 12.6)(0.493) = 30.6 P + 12.6 = 62.1 P = 49.5 atm
Predict which substance has the largest "b" constant: NH 3, N 2, CH 2 Cl 2, Cl 2, CCl 4 The value of b constant is merely the actual volume of the gas. A larger molecular volume results in a larger b value. From the compound in the list, CCl 4 is the largest so it will have the greatest b constant.
1.Using Van der Waals equation, calculate the temperature of 20.0 mole of helium in a 10.0 liter cylinder at 120 atm. Van der Waals constants for helium: a = 0.0341 L 2 at mol -2 ; b = 0.0237 L mol -1 2. Compare this value with the temperature calculated from the ideal gas equation.
(i) Using the Van der Waals equation: Substituting in (P + an 2 /V 2 )(V - nb) = nrt, P = 120 atm n = 20.0 mol V = 10.0 L (120 + 0.0341 x (20.0/10.0)2)(10.0-20.0 x 0.0237) = 20.0 x 0.0821 x T [Note the value of R = 0.0821 because P is in atm and V in L] (120 + 0.1364)(10.0-0.5) = 1.64 x T T = 696 K [Note that the correction to P is not significant as T is well above the temperature at which helium gas will liquefy while the volume correction is significant due to the high pressure.] (ii) Using the Ideal Gas Equation: Substituting in PV = nrt, 120 x 10.0 = 20.0 x 0.0821 x T T = 1200/1.642 = 731 K
