Measurements on Gases
• Quantities to be known to describe the state of the
gas
• Volume
• Amount
• Temperature
• Pressure

Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Volume, Amount, and Temperature
• Gases expand uniformly to fill the container in which
they are placed
• Volume of the container is the volume of the gas
• Volume may be in liters, mL, or cm3
• Moles (n) are used to express the matter in a gaseous
sample
mass
n=
MM

• Temperature of a gas must be indicated on the


Kelvin scale
• Recall that TK = t°C + 273.15

Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Pressure
• Force per unit area
• In the English system, pounds per square inch or psi
• Atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 psi
• Mercury barometer is the device used to measure
atmospheric pressure

The Barometer
• Measures pressure in relation to the height of a
column of liquid mercury
• First constructed by Evangelista Torricelli
• Consists of a closed gas tube filled with mercury
inverted over a pool of mercury
• Pressure exerted by the mercury column exactly
equals that of the atmosphere
• Height of the column is the measure of the
atmospheric pressure
• At or near sea level, the atmospheric pressure varies
from 740 - 760 mm

Manometer
• Fluid used is mercury
• If the level in the inner tube (A) is lower than that in
the outer tube (B), the pressure of the gas is greater
than that of the atmosphere
• If the reverse is true, the pressure of the gas is less
than the atmospheric pressure

Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Units of Pressure
• Gas pressure is expressed in millimetres of
mercury (mm Hg)
• Torr - Pressure exerted by 1mm of mercury at
certain specified conditions, notably at 0° C
• Atmosphere (atm): Another unit commonly used to
measure gas pressure
• Also known as standard pressure
• 1 atm = 14.7 psi
• 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Units of Pressure
• SI unit of measurement, the pascal (Pa)
• 1 Pa is the pressure exerted by a 0.1 mm high film of
water on the surface beneath it
• One bar = 105 Pa
• 1.013 bar = 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 14.7 psi = 101.3 kPa

Example 5.11
• In an effusion experiment, argon gas is allowed to
expand through a tiny opening into an evacuated
flask of volume 120 mL for 32.0 s, at which point the
pressure in the flask is found to be 12.5 mm Hg. This
experiment is repeated with a gas X of unknown
molar mass at the same T and P. It is found that the
pressure in the flask builds up to 12.5 mm Hg after
48.0 s. Calculate the molar mass of X.

Example 5.11
• Analysis:
• Information given - volume of both flasks (120 mL);
pressure in both flasks (12.5 mm Hg); time for Ar
effusion (32.0 s); time for gas (X) effusion (48.0 s)
• Information implied - Temperature, pressure, and
volume are the same for both flasks
rate of effusion for each gas
MM of argon
• Asked for - MM of X

Example 5.11
• Strategy:
• Since T, P, and V are the same for both gases, the
number of moles of gas in both flasks is the same
nAr = nX = n
• The rate of effusion is in mol/time
n Ar nX n

Application of Effusion
• Used to separate U-238 from U-235
• Isotopes have the same chemical properties and so
cannot be separated by chemical means
• Preliminary experiments indicated that 238UF6 could
be separated from 235UF6 by effusion
• Separation factor is small, as the rates of effusion are
nearly identical

Distribution of Molecular Speeds
• In a gas sample at any instant, gas molecules are
moving at a variety of speeds
• Speed and direction of motion of a particle are
constantly changing
• James Clerk Maxwell developed a mathematical
expression for the distribution known as the Maxwell
distribution
• Molecules have speeds rather close to the average
value

Distribution of Molecular Speeds
• Plot the fraction of molecules having a given speed
vs. the molecular speed
• Curve that results has a maximum in the number of
molecules with the given speed
• Probable speed of molecules
• As the temperature increases
• Speed of the molecules increases
• Distribution curve for molecular speeds shifts to the
right and becomes broader

Example 5.12
• Consider the two boxes A and B shown below. Box
B has a volume exactly twice that of box A. The
green circles and red circles represent one mole of
HCl and He, respectively. The two boxes are at the
same temperature.

Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 5.12
• Compare the pressures of the gases in the two
containers
• Compare the densities of the two gases
• Compare the number of atoms in the two boxes
• If the HCl in box A were transferred to box B, what
would be the mole fraction of HCl in the mixture?
• Which of the two gases effuses faster?

Example 5.12
• Solution:
• Since n/V and T are the same in both cases, pressure
P = nRT/V is the same for the two gases
• The mass of HCl is 2(36.5 g) = 73.0 g; that of He is
4(4.00 g) = 16.0 g. Since 73.0 g/V > 16.0 g/2V, HCl
has the higher density
• Two moles of diatomic HCl contain the same number
of atoms as four moles of He
• XHCl = 2/6 = 1/3
• Because HCl and He are at the same pressure, the
lighter gas, He, effuses faster

Real Gases
• Deviate at least slightly from the ideal gas law
• Molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L from the
ideal gas law
• Deviations from ideality become larger at high
pressures and low temperatures
• Closer a gas is to the liquid state, the more it will
deviate from the ideal gas law

Real Gases
• Gases can be liquefied by
• Lowering the temperature
• Increasing the pressure
• Deviations from the ideal gas law arise because they
neglect
• Attractive forces between gas particles
• Finite volume of gas particles

Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Attractive Forces
• Observed molar volume for gases is lower than that
calculated by the ideal gas law
• Forces between particles pull the particles together
• Volume occupied by the gas is then decreased
• This is a negative deviation from the ideal gas law

Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Particle Volume
• Consider a plot of the observed molar volume/ideal
molar volume for methane at 25°
• Up to 150 atm, the deviation from ideality steadily
increases
• Above 150 atm, molar volume/ideal molar volume
increases
• Ratio becomes 1 at around 350 atm pressure
• Above 350 atm, methane shows a positive deviation
from the ideal gas law
• This behavior is observed with all gases and is not
unique to methane

Key Concepts
• Convert between P, V, T, and amount of gas
• Use of the ideal gas law to:
• Solve initial and final state problems
• Calculate P, V, T, or n
• Calculate density or molar mass
• Relate amounts and volumes of gases in reactions
• Use Dalton’s law
• Calculate the speed of gas molecules
• Use Graham’s law to relate the rate of effusion to
the molar mass of a gas
