Gases: Chapter 9 • Characteristics: Unlike liquids and solids, they: • have large spaces between the gas molecules → not tightly packed • expand to fill the container → take the shape of the container • diffuse into one another and mix • 4 properties that affect its physical behaviour: amount of gas (in moles) volume temperature 1 pressure

Pressure What is pressure? Pressure is the amount of force applied to an area. • it is the force per unit area – (force divided by the area over which the force is applied) • The unit is N.m -2 which is one pascal (Pa) F ( N ) P ( Pa ) 2 ( ) A m 3
Units of Pressure • Pascals 1 Pa = 1 N/m 2 • Bar 1 bar = 10 5 Pa = 100 kPa • mm Hg or torr The difference in the heights in mm ( h ) of two connected columns of mercury • Atmosphere 1.00 atm = 760 torr 4
Barometric Pressure • The simplest device used to measure pressure is the Toricelli barometer • Standard atmosphere (atm) – is the pressure exerted by a mercury column of 760 mm (density of Hg = 13.5951 g.cm -3 (0 0 C and gravity = 9.80665 m.s -2 ) 5
1 atm = 760 mmHg 1 atm = 760 Torr Example: What is the height of a column of water that exerts the same pressure as a column of mercury 76.0 cm (760 mm) high? P H2O = P Hg Using equation (g x h x d) g x h H2O x 1.00 g/cm 3 = g x 76.0 cm x 13.6 g/cm 3 3 76 . 0 cm 13 . 6 g / cm 3 h 1 . 03 10 cm H O 3 2 1 . 00 g / cm 10 . 3 m 6

Standard Pressure • Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level. • It is equal to: – 1.00 atm – 760 torr (760 mm Hg) – 101.325 kPa
Manometers 10
Example: When a manometer is filled with liquid mercury ( d = 13.6 g/cm 3 ), the barometric pressure is 748.2 mmHg, and the difference in mercury levels is 8.6 mmHg. What is the gas pressure P gas ? P gas = P bar + ∆P = 748.2 mmHg - 8.6 mmHg = 739.6 mmHg 11
Gas Laws Boyle’s Law: The volume of a fixed quantity of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure. 1 P V 12
Charles’s Law: - The volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to its temperature. V T A plot of V versus T will be a straight line. 13
Standard Temperature and Pressure STP conditions: • standard temperature for gases = 0 0 C = 273.15 K • standard pressure, 1 atm = 760 mmHg Avogadro’s Law: - at a fixed temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the amount of gas V 1 22 . 4 ( ) n mol gas L gas at STP 14

Ideal-Gas Equation • So far we’ve seen that: V 1/ P (Boyle’s law) V T (Charles’s law) V n (Avogadro’s law) • Combining these, we get, if we call the proportionality constant, R: nT V = R P i.e. PV = nRT 16

Example: Propylene is used in the production of plastics. A glass vessel weighs 40.1305 g when clean, dry and evacuated; it weighs 138.2410 g when filled with water at 25 0 C(density of water = 0.9970 g/mL) and 40.2959 g when filled with propylene gas at 740.3 mmHg and 24.0 0 C. What is the molar mass of propylene? Mass of water to fill vessel = 138.2410 g – 40.1305 g = 98.1105 g Density = mass/volume Volume = mass/density Volume of water (vol. of vessel) = 98.1105 g/0.9970 g/ml = 98.41 mL = 0.09841 L 26
Mass of gas = 40.2959 g – 40.1305 g = 0.1654 g Temperature (K) = (24 0 C + 273.15 0 C) x 1K/1 0 C = 297.15 K R = 8.3145 m 3 Pa mol -1 K -1 Pressure = 740.3 mmHg/760 mmHg = 0.9741 atm (convert to Pa) = 98700 Pa mRT M PV 3 1 1 0 . 1654 g 8 . 3145 m Pa mol K 297 . 15 K 5 3 98700 Pa 9 . 841 10 m 42 . 08 g / mol 27
Gas Densities and Molar Mass If we divide both sides of the ideal-gas equation by V and by RT , we get: PV = nRT n P = V RT 28
