PROPERTIES OF GASES
▪ No definite shape/volume
▪ Expands to fill its container
▪ Easily compressed (squeezed into a
smaller container)
▪ Compressibility is a measure of how much
the volume of matter decreases under
pressure
▪ Gases are easily compressed because of
the space between the particles in a gas
PROPERTIES OF A GAS
▪ Boyle’s Law
▪ Charles’ Law
▪ Gay-Lussac’s Law
▪ Combined Gas Law
▪ Ideal Gas Law
▪ Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure
▪ Graham’s Law
BOYLE’S LAW
▪ Mathematical Example 2
▪ If 4.41 dm3 of nitrogen gas are collected at a
pressure of 94.2 kPa, what will the volume
be for this gas at standard pressure if the
temperature does not change?
CHARLES’ LAW
▪ As the temperature of an enclosed gas
increases, the volume increases, if the
pressure is constant
▪ The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly
proportional to its Kelvin temperature if the
pressure is kept constant
▪ As volume goes up/down, temperature goes
up/down
▪ V1 = V 2
Temperature must be in Kelvin! T1 T2
CHARLES’ LAW
▪ Mathematical Example 1
▪ V1 = 250mL T1 = 300K V2 =
321mL T2 = ?
▪ Mathematical Example 2
▪ With a constant pressure, the volume of a
gas is increased from 15.0L to 32.0L. If the
new temperature is 20.0°C, what was the
original temperature?
GAY-LUSSAC’S LAW
▪ Mathematical Example 2
▪ The pressure in a tire is 1.8 atm at 20°C.
After a 200 mile trip, the pressure reading for
the tire is 1.9 atm. What is the temperature
inside the tire at that new pressure?
COMBINED GAS LAW
▪ Combines Boyle’s, Charles’, and Gay-Lussac’s
laws
▪ Describes the relationship among temperature,
pressure, and volume of an enclosed gas
▪ Allows you to perform calculation for situations
IF and ONLY IF the amount of gas is constant
▪ P1V1 = P2V2
Temperature must be in
Kelvin!
T1 T2
IDEAL GAS LAW
▪ When you need to account for the number of
moles of gas in addition to pressure,
temperature, and volume, you will use the Ideal
Gas Equation
▪ Modified version of the Combined Gas Law
▪ PV = nRT
▪ n = number of moles
▪ R = ideal gas constant
▪ 0.08206 (L-atm/mol-K)
▪ 62.4 (L-mmHg/mol-K)
▪ 8.314 (L-kPa/mol-K)
IDEAL GAS LAW
▪ Mathematical Example 1
▪ What is the pressure in atm exerted by 0.5
moles of N2 in a 10L container at 298
Kelvin?
▪ Mathematical Example 2
▪ What is the volume in liters of 0.250 moles of
O2 at 20°C and 0.974 atm?
IDEAL GAS LAW
▪ Mathematical Example 3
▪ What is the temperature of 76 grams of Cl2
in a 24L container at 890mmHg?
▪ Mathematical Example 4
▪ A deep underground cavern contains
2.24x106L of CH4 at a pressure of
1.50x103kPa and a temperature of 315K.
How many kilograms of CH4 does the cavern
contain?
IDEAL vs. REAL GASES
▪ Mathematical Example 1
▪ In a container there are 4 gases with the
following pressures: Gas 1-2.5 atm, Gas
2-1.9 atm, Gas 3-798 mmHg, Gas 4-2.1 atm;
find the total pressure in the container.
DALTON’S LAW
▪ Mathematical Example 2
▪ In a sample of HCl gas, the pressure of the
gas is found to be 0.87 atm. If hydrogen
makes up 34% of the gas, what is the
pressure of the hydrogen?
GRAHAM’S LAW
▪ Mathematical Example 1
▪ What is the ratio of the speeds of Helium
compared to Oxygen?
▪ Mathematical Example 2
▪ If Co2 has a speed of 22 m/s at 20°C, what is
the speed of HCl at the same temperature?
