Ideal gases

Particles

have no volume.
have elastic collisions.
are in constant, random, straight-line motion.
dont attract or repel each other.
have an avg. KE directly related to Kelvin
temperature

 Temperature

 At constant tempereture

At constant temperature the volume of a

given mass of a gas varies inversely with
the absolute pressure

At constant temperature the volume of a

given mass of a gas varies inversely with
the absolute pressure

P1V1 = P2V2

 P1V1 =P2V2
138 x 10 = 1 x V2
V2 = 1380 l

At constant pressure

At constant pressure, volume of a give

mass of gas varies directly with absolut
temperature

At constant pressure volume of a give

mass of gas varies directly with absolut
temperature

At constant volume

If the volume is kept constant, absolute

pressure of a given mass of a gas varies
directly with the absolute temperature

If the volume is kept constant, absolute

pressure of a given mass of a gas
variesvaries directly with the absolute
temperature

In a mixture of gases, pressure exerted b

each gas is the same as that which it woul
exert if it alone occupied the container

P = P1 + P2 + P3 + Pn

Equal volumes of different gases at same

Temperature and Pressure contain equal
number of molecules

At same Temperature and Pressure,

equal number of molecules of
different gases occupy same volume

 Pressure = 1 atm (100 kpa)

Temperature = 273.15 K (0 C)
