Gas is composed of molecules that are separated from each other by large distances 2. Gas molecules are constantly moving in random directions and often collide with one another. These are elastic interactions 3. Gas molecules neither attract not repel each other 4. Average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature Application to gas laws Compressibility – due to the large distances (assumption 1) gases are easily compressed Boyle’s Law – pressure exerted results from molecular collisions, so decreasing volume increasescollision and pressure Charles’s Law – due to assumption 4, raising the temp increases KE, which in turn increases pressure Partial Pressures – total pressure is given by sum of individual pressures since gas molecules are unaffected by other molecules (assumption 3) Root-mean-square speed (rms) U(rms) = √3RT/M R is still a constant, but in this case is 8.314 J/K x mol- Take what you know, R = 0.08206 (L x atm/ mol x K), and do a unit conversion with 1 L X atm = 101.3 J Gas Diffusion Gradual mixing of molecules of one gas with those of another in accordance with their kinetic properties Graham’s Law – rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to molar mass r₁ = √M ₁ (entire 2nd half should be under square root symbol)r₂ M₂ Gas Effusion A gas under pressure escapes from containers using small openings Also uses Graham’s Law5.8 – Deviation from Ideal Behavior Can be seen when pressure is high, or temperature is low Van der Waals equation (P + an² )(V-nb) = nRT V² ^ ^Corrected CorrectedPressure
