Gas Laws
Importance of Gases Airbags fill with N 2 gas in an accident. Gas is generated by the decomposition of sodium azide, NaN 3. 2 NaN 3 (s) 2 Na (s) + 3 N 2 (g) 2
Importance of Gases C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O Glucose Cellular respiration is going on throughout your body! It involves two gases: Oxygen Carbon Dioxide You breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. 3
Kinetic Molecular Theory Gas molecules are always moving. Moving molecules have kinetic energy (KE). At the same temperature, all gases have the same average KE. As temperature goes up, average KE also increases. 4
Velocity of Gas Molecules Molecules of a given gas have a range of speeds. 5
General Properties of Gases There is a lot of free space in a gas. Gases can be expanded infinitely. Gases occupy containers uniformly and completely. Gases diffuse and mix rapidly. 6
More Properties of Gases tiny particles that are far apart relative to their size constant, random motion elastic collisions (with no loss of kinetic energy) the average kinetic energy depends upon temperature 7
Pressure Pressure of air is measured with a BAROMETER developed in 1643 by Evangelista Torricelli 8
Pressure Hg rises in tube until force of Hg (down) balances the force of atmosphere (pushing up). P of Hg pushing down is related to Hg density column height 9
Pressure Column height measures pressure of atmosphere 1 standard atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr (named after Torricelli) SI unit is PASCAL, Pa 1 atm = 101.3 kpa 10
Boyle s s Law For a sample of gas at a constant temperature: PV = k As P goes up, V goes down. As V goes up, P goes down. Comparing a sample of gas at two different pressures: Robert Boyle (1627-1691) 14 th child of Earl of Cork, Ireland. P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 11
Boyle s Law: PV=k At constant T and n, Volume is inversely proportional to Pressure. 12

Charles s s Law For a sample of gas under constant pressure: V = kt V and T (in Kelvin) are directly proportional: As V goes up, T goes up. As V goes down, T goes down. For a sample of gas at two different temperatures: V 1 T 1 = V 2 T 2 Jacques Charles (1746-1823) Isolated boron. Studied gases. Balloonist. 16
