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)
