KE = ½ mv^2 = 3/2 kT
k = boltzmann’s constant (maxwell - boltzmann’s distribution)
T = temperature in kelvin
m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (m/s)

gas assumptions
Particles are small, hard spheres with insignificant volume
Particles move in a straight line and random motion
Particles colliding with other particles or the container walls are elastic
In elastic collisions, particles bounce off each other like billiard balls
When inelastic collisions take place, particles can stick together (bond) or deform from the impact (cars)
gas pressure
The result of gas particles striking the surface of the container
what is pressure measured in?
Pressure (kPa) = force/area = newtons/m2
Measurement unit for pressure: SI unit for pressure: Pascal (Pa) and NY State also uses atmospheres (atm)
Units for pressure: in Hg, mm Hg, PSI, torr, bar
1 mmHg = 1 torr
30 in Hg = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 14.7 psi = 1 atm
devices used to measure gas pressure
barometer, manometer, gauge
barometer
Pressure of atmosphere pushes down on mercury + based on the air pressure the mercury will rise or fall certain levels
manometer
Fill with tested gas + high density liquid (aka mercury) to determine pressure - if pressure were the same, the blue levels would be parallel to each other
gauge
Pressure gauges work through a Bourdon tube, a hollow piece of metal. When a gas or liquid enters the tube, it expands and pushes a lever. The distance the lever moves is proportional to the gas or liquid pressure inside the hollow tube.
nature of liquids
Intermolecular forces dictate the properties of liquids
Van der Waal forces
Hydrogen bonding
London Dispersion forces (LDF)
Dipole - dipole
Dipole - induced dipole
Induced dipole - induced dipole
dipole
the electrons spending more time at one end of the molecule because of the charges attracting
evaporation
Particles at the surface of a liquid have sufficient kinetic energy to “escape” the intermolecular forces
Liquid temperature is well below the boiling temperature
Temperature of liquid particles follow a “normal distribution”
Particles on the right have enough energy (temperature) to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid
boiling point
temperature when the atmospheric pressure is equal to the vapor pressure
At the boiling point, there is gas inside the liquid (bubbles)
The boiling point of a liquid is not a specific value
The boiling point changes based upon the atmospheric pressure
The “Normal Boiling Point” is the temperature that a liquid boils when the pressure is 101.3 kPa or 1.00 atm
Vapor pressure
When particles “escape” the liquid, they become gas particles
These gas particles generate a pressure
As temperature increases, the number of particles escaping the liquid increases
More particles mean that they will strike the surface of the pressure sensor
Measurement of pressure increases
Manometer commonly used to measure vapor pressure
In an open container, the gas particles can drift away which allows more liquid particles to evaporate
In a closed container, the gas particles are trapped. If the gas particles lose enough energy through collisions, they can be “recaptured” by the liquid
Establishes a dynamic equilibrium
model for solids
Solids reflect an organized arrangement of the particles in fixed locations
It is important to remember that the particles in the solid are in constant vibrational, rotational, and very limited translational motion
The lower the temperature goes, the slower these movements become
At 0 K, all movement of the particles theoretically “stops”.
How does 0 K violate the conservation of energy law?
law says energy can’t be created nor destroyed - 0K is saying that there is essentially no energy left which can never be true
unit cell
All solids are build on one of these structures
Each unit cell has unique properties
When exposed to heat, solids can change the unit cell
Simple Cubic
tends to be fragile
Face centered cubic (FCC)
tend to be strong but brittle
Body centered cubic (BCC)
tends to be strong and elastic
crystal systems
All solids are build around one of these seven crystal systems - cubic, tetragonal, monoclinic, orthorhombic, triclinic, hexagonal, trigonal
allotrope
substance that is made from the same elements but can form two or more different structures
amorphous solid
a substance that lacks an ordered internal structure
Glass is an example of an amorphous solid
Phase Diagrams
Shows the relationship between phase changes as a function of temperature and pressure
Every substance has a phase diagram describing:
melting/freezing point
boiling /condensation point
Triple point: point where all three phases coexist
Sublimation range: range when change from gas to solid
critical point
where substance enters plasma phase
property of gas: compressibility
Since gas particles are “far” apart, they can be forced closer together without dramatically altering the properties of the gas
Pressure and density increase when a gas is compressed, but it remains a gas
What factors affect gas pressure?
Kinetic Theory of Gasses can be used to understand these factors
Amount of gas
The quantity of gas inside the container
Volume of the container
The volume of the container
Temperature of the gas
Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy
Boyle’s Law
as volume increases, pressure decreases
Pressure (kPa/atm) vs Volume (L) - TEMPERATURE AND N ARE CONSTANT
P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
Indirect relationship
Charles’ Law
as temperature increases, volume increases - PRESSURE AND N ARE CONSTANT
Volume (L) vs Temperature (K)
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Direct relationship
Must use Kelvin scale because does not have negative values
Gay-Lussac’s Law
as temperature increases, pressure increases
Pressure (kPa/atm) vs Temperature (K)
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Direct relationship
Must use Kelvin scale
Combined Gas Law
When all three responses are combined with a fixed amount of gas
Moles of gas are constant
Allows for each variable to be manipulated independently
PV/T = K
The Ideal Gas Law
expands the Combined Gas Law to include the variable of matter - moles
PV/T = constant
PV/nT = R
n is the mole value of the gas
R is the universal gas constant
R = 8.31L•kPa/mol•K = 0.0821 L•atm/mol•K
Dalton’s Law
The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas in the mixture
PT = P1 + P2 + P3 + …
Graham’s Law
Describes the rate one gas will move through another gas
RateA/RateB = √ (molar massB/molar massA)
Effusion
particles having a barrier, when removed they randomly mix - or particles escaping through a hole in barrier (pinhole) due to differences in pressure inside and outside
Diffusion
gas particles move from higher concentration to lower concentration to reach equilibrium
