Changes in State
Changes in state are physical changes.
Physical properties change during a change of physical state.
Focus on differences in physical properties among gases, liquids, and solids.
Physical Properties of Gases, Liquids, and Solids
Comparison of volume, shape, density, compressibility, particle motion, and intermolecular distance.
Gases expand to fill volume, liquids have fixed volume, and solids have fixed volume and shape.
Gases have low density, high compressibility, and particles that move freely.
The Gaseous State
Ideal gas concept involves measuring temperature, volume, pressure, and mass.
Gas laws relate number of moles, volume, temperature, and pressure.
Gas pressure results from particle collisions with container walls.
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
Gases consist of small atoms or molecules in constant motion.
Gas particles behave independently with no attractive or repulsive forces.
Collisions between gas particles and container walls transfer energy.
Boyle’s Law
Volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure at constant temperature and moles.
Product of pressure and volume is a constant.
Used to calculate volume or pressure changes in gases.
Charles’s Law
Volume of a gas varies directly with absolute temperature at constant pressure and moles.
Ratio of volume and temperature is a constant.
Used to calculate volume changes with temperature variations.
Combined Gas Law
Combines Boyle’s and Charles’s laws for changes involving volume, pressure, and temperature.
Derived from a combination of Boyle’s law and Charles’s law.
Used to calculate volume changes with simultaneous variations in volume, pressure, and temperature.
