Gas laws

Cards (42)

  • Ideal gas
    gas that obeys the gas laws
  • The three gas laws
    Boyles law, Charles’ law, Pressure law
  • Boyles law
    when temperature is constant, pressure is Inversely proportional to volume
  • Charles‘ law
    When pressure is constant, Volume is directly proportional to temperature
  • Pressure law
    When volume constant, Pressure is directly proportional to temperature
  • Emperical
    From observations
  • Work done = p∆V
    work done = pressure x change in volume
  • Charles law eq

    V/T = k (constant)
  • Pressure law equation 

    P/T = k (constant)
  • derivation for Ideal gas equation
    1. pV/T = K
    2. pV/T = nR (K dependant on no. Moles; so number of moles x molar gas constant - 8.31)
    3. pV = nRT (rearranged)
    4. pV=NRT/Na (n= N/Na subbed into ideal gas equation)
    5. pV=NkT (sub Boltzman constant k=R/Na)
  • Ideal gas equation 

    pV=nRT
  • boltzman ideal gas eq
    pV=NkT
  • What do the ideal gas graphs look like?
    graphs:
  • Brownian motion 

    Random motion of larger particles in a fluid caused by collisions
  • can use simple molecular model to explain gas laws
  • Explain Boyles law
    P inversely proportional to volume at a constant temp. When Volume increases, molecules move further apart and collide less so pressure decreases.
  • Explain Charles’ law
    Volume directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure. When temp increases, kinetic energy increases so speed increases, molecules move apart so volume increases.
  • When pressure is constant, amount of collisions are constant
  • Explain pressure law
    Pressure directly proportional to temp at a constant volume. When temp increases, kinetic energy increases so collisions increase and at higher speeds, so pressure increases.
  • Kinetic theory model is not emperical so is only based on theory
  • Kinetic theory assumptions
    R - Random motion
    A - do not attract eachother ( no intermolecular forces)
    V - negligible volume
    E - Elastic collisions
    D - Duration of collisions negligible
  • ideal gas follows gas laws perfectly, no intermolecular forces; no potential energy as PE is intermolecular; internal energy = the sum of kinetic energies
  • pV = Nm(Crms)²
  • derive kinetic theory equation
    1. change in momentum 2mu
    2. time between collisions t = 2L/u
    3. Force (rate of change in momentum) F = 2mu/(2L/u) = mu^2/2L
    4. pressure = force/ area P=mu^2/Volume
    5. think about all particles p = m(u^2+ u2^2….)/Volume
    6. find mean of speeds and multiply by N for sum mesn speed. P=Nm(mean speed)^2
    7. think about all directions (as vectors x,y,z) speed is u in all directions. Mean speed same in all directions. mean speed squared (Crms)^2 same in all three directions. U^2 = ⅓ Crms^2 sub. pV=1/3Nm(Crms)^2
  • Newton Straight raved
    1. Motion follows newton laws
    2. motion of collisions is straight lines
    3. RAVED assumptions
  • Internal energy is the sum of the randomly distributed kinetic and potential energies of its molecules
  • Ideal gas has no potential energy
  • Internal energy for ideal gas Is equal to the kinetic energy
  • boyles’ law is an isothermal change.
  • If the temperature is hotter, the isotherm is further from origin of a P-V graph
  • Experiment for boyles law: change the force sealed on gas syringe, calculate pressure exerted and subtract from atmospheric.
  • Experiment for Charles’ law: measure height of trapped air bubble in capillary tube when temperature is changed. tube needs to be open at top to have constant pressure
  • Pressure law experiment: change temp of gas in flask in water bath, pressure gauge used to measure pressurez
  • N = n x Na
  • If two out of three factors are being changed, use one of the 3 Gas laws.
  • If all three factors are changing, p1v1/T1 = p2V2/T2
  • If one factor staying constant then remove the factor that’s constant, eg it T constant, P1V1 = p2V2
  • Kinetic theory only applies to ideal gasses
  • Brownian motion can be seen with smoke particles being moved randomly due to colliding with air particles
  • what does m stand for in kinetic theory equation?
    Mass Of one molecule ( as Nm = total mass of gas)
