Chapter 1 - The Properties of Gases I. The perfect gas.

A. The states of gases. (definition)

1. The state variables:

volume=V amount of substance, moles = n pressure = p temperature = T

2. Knowledge of these defines the state of any pure gas. 3. These variables do not vary independently, but are connected by an

equation of state. In general, pressure p = f(T,V,n) e.g., simplest: pV = nRT (perfect or ideal gas) 4. Therefore, knowledge of any three plus the equation of state defines

the state of the gas. 5. V and n are extensive properties, proportional to size of system.

T and p are intensive properties, independent of size of system. 6. Pressure p = force per unit area that a system exerts on its

surroundings. Two major sources of pressure: i) downward gravitational force, and

ii) impacts of molecules on surroundings.

Pressure exerted by a gas is a manifestation of incessant impact of particles on their surroundings.

Above system is in mechanical equilibrium with its surroundings when the force per unit area of system particles pushing the piston out equals force per unit area pushing in.

psystem = psurroundings

Piston stops moving when this is achieved.

7. Units of pressure: SI unit of force = N (Newton) = kg m/s2 area = m2 (meters2) so SI unit of pressure = N/m2 1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m2 8. Other more familiar and useful units of pressure: 1 atmosphere (atm) = the pressure required to support a column of

Hg 760 mm high at 0°C. 1 atm = 760. mm Hg = 760. Torr

1 atm = 101.325 kPa (kiloPascals) 1 bar = 100 kPa so 1 atm ~ 1 bar 9. Definition of standard pressure for reporting thermodynamic data: = 1 bar = 750.1 Torr 10. Measurement of pressure - The Torricelli barometer:

Hg rises until the forces balance and atmospheric p = pgrav

This height h is 760. mm at sea level on an average day.

3 Pgrav

= gdh

g = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s2

d = density of Hg = 13.6 g/cm3 or 13.6 x 10

3 kg/m

h = 760 mm = 0.760 m

11. Temperature T: A measure of thermal energy per unit sample of matter, and a

manifestation of molecular motion, difficult to define in words. It is the property that tells which direction heat will flow.

12. Zeroth Law of thermo = if A is in thermal equilibrium with B, and B

with C, then C is also in thermal equilibrium with A. 13. Measurement of temperature – Thermometer. Simplest are based on thermal expansion of a liquid in a capillary (Hg

or alcohol). Celsius scale: 0 mark in system where water and ice are in equilibrium 100 mark in system where liquid water is boiling at sea level (in

equilb with steam) Above is the typical Hg or alcohol thermometer. Ambiguity: Hg and alcohol don't expand perfectly linearly with T. Better thermometer uses expansion of an ideal gas (The ideal gas

thermometer): since p ∝T at fixed V

14. Temperature scales (K = Kelvin) T/K = θ/°C + 273.15 (θ is symbol used for temperature in °Celsius)

B. The gas laws.

1. The ideal gas law (or perfect gas law):

PV = nRT R = universal gas constant = 8.31447 J K-1mol-1 = 0.0820574 L atm K-1mol-1 = 1.98721 cal K-1mol-1 Note: 1 J = 1 Pa-m3 Works well for most gases at room T and 1 atm. Works well for all gases at lower pressures or higher temperatures. 2. The response to pressure - Boyle's Law (1662): p ∝ 1/V (at constant n, T) or p1V1 = p2V2 (at constant n, T) or pV = constant (at constant n, T)

p-V isotherms:

lines of constant T

3. The response to temperature: V ∝ T (at constant n, p) - Charles' Law V1/T1 = V2/T2 V-T isobars (lines of constant Pressure) Q: How would this plot look if one plotted vs Celsius temperature? p ∝ T (at constant n, V) - Gay-Lussac's Law p1/T1 = p2/T2

p-T isochores (lines of constant volume)

is independent of type of molecule. P Vm = RT Vm = RT/P Problem: Calculate Vm in liters (L) for an ideal gas at 0° C and 1.00

atm pressure. Vm = R(0°C + 273.15)/1.00atm [must use Kelvin!] What R to use? L atm K-1mol-1 Vm = 0.08206 * 273.15K/1.00 atm Vm = 22.415 L 5. Standard conditions for reporting data. STP - old definition, standard temp. and pressure: 0° C, 1 atm SATP - standard ambient temp. & pressure: 298.15K (25° C), 1 bar 6. Mass density of ideal gases.

Let ρ = mass density = m/V = mass/Volume

moles n = m/M = mass/Molar_mass

pV = nRT

pV = (m/M) RT

m/V = Mp/RT

ρ= Mp/RT

Therefore ρ ∝ M

8. Variation of atmospheric pressure with altitude h given by the

barometric formula:

p = poe−h /H

where H = RT /MgHere :M = average molar mass of air

g=acceleration of gravity

T is varying with altitude

9. Dalton's law - mixtures of gases. The pressure exerted by a mixture of perfect gases is the sum of

partial pressures exerted by the individual gases. total pressure p = nRT/V = (nA + nB + ...)RT/V p = nA RT/V + nB RT/V + ... p = pA + pB + ... pA and pB... are partial pressures, n = nA + nB + … 10. Mole fractions and partial pressures. mole fraction of component J defined as: xJ = nJ/n so xA + xB + ... = 1; therefore: pJ = xJp proof: pJ = nJ RT/V = (nJ/n) (n RT/V) = (nJ/n) P so pJ = xJp

II. Kinetic Theory of Gases.

Molecular (microscopic & classical) theory of gases which predicts:

a) equilibrium thermodynamic properties - Pressure b) dynamical properties - rates of processes: effusion through openings,

viscosity of gases, collision frequencies (used in collision theory of chemical reactions)

A. Model of Perfect Gas.

1. Elementary kinetic theory assumptions.

a. Gas sample is mostly empty space (molecules themselves occupy small volume).

b. No attractions or repulsions between molecules in free flight (i.e.

travel in straight lines) c. Perfectly elastic collisions between molecules (no energy

transferred into internal degrees of freedom: rot, vib, elec) d. Pressure exerted by gas = time-averaged force per unit area

exerted by many individual impacts of molecules on a surface. e. Classical variables describe gas. - position

x of molecule - velocity

v of molecule - vx, vy, vz are Cartesian components of velocity

2. Molecular Speed. molecular speed v = |

v| = scalar quantity, not vector v = magnitude of the velocity vector of an individual molecule

v2 = vx2 + vy

2 + vz2

v = vx2 + vy

2 + vz2

3. Pressure exerted by N molecules.

Container volume V = a x b x c follow 1 typical molecule and its motion in x-direction time interval between collisions with face A = Δt Δt = time required to travel distance 2a velocity x time = distance

vxΔt = 2a

Δt = 2avx

To calculate pressure P, need force per unit area 1st, find time-averaged force F exerted by 1 molecule avg force in time Δt (during which we have 1 collision)

F = force of 1 collision F = momentum change in 1 collision Δt

F = 2mv

But we already showed that v2 = 3 vx2

So: P =Nm v2

P = N m v2

Now, avg translational (kinetic) energy Et of a single molecule of mass

Et = 12mv2 = 1

So: PV = 23NE

But we also know that:

PV= nRT or PV= NkBT

(where n = moles and N = molecules) So:

Et= 32kBT Equipartition theorem result for translational energy

So avg k.e. of a molecule depends only on T, not on mass of particle

B. Distribution of Molecular Velocities. Although every identical gas molecule in a sample may have same

average speeds and average Cartesian velocity components (averaged over period of time), at any instant of t there is a wide range of velocities possible.

Let f(vx)dvx = fraction of molecules having x-component of velocity in

range vx to vx+dvx. Also = prob that a single given molecule has x-comp of velocity in

rangevx to vx+dvx. f(vx) = probability density that a single given molecule has x-comp of

velocity in range vx to vx+dvx.

This distribution is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, which can be derived from the Boltzmann equation

III. Real gases.

A. Molecular Interactions.

1. In general - gases deviate from ideal behavior due to interactions between molecules.

Repulsive forces - exist over very short range, a molecular diameter. Called excluded volume forces. Causes deviation from ideality only when the density is so high that the physical volume of the molecules begins to become comparable to V.

Attractive forces - exist over several molecular diameters.

2. The compression factor Z = a dimensionless quantity expressing

deviation from ideality.

Z ≡pVnRT

= 1 for gas obeying ideal gas law.

Since Vn

= Vm

Z =pVm

RTAlso,

Z =Vm

Vmo

where Vmo is ideal gas molar volume = RT/p

3. Virial expansions: Since ideality pertains at low p, this suggests that we mathematically

expand Z in the pressure: Z = 1 + B'p + C'p2 + ...

B', C' are called the 2nd and 3rd virial coefficients. Virial coefficients are not just curve-fitting parameters, but can be

calculated from molecular properties by statistical mechanics. Alternately, the virial expansion can be expressed in powers of 1/Vm

Z = (1+BVm

Vm2 + ...)

4. Condensation:

Decreasing the volume of a confined gas (increasing its p and

density) at constant T below a certain T called the critical temperature Tc causes condensation.

5. Critical constants: Every gas has a critical point with a critical pressure Pc critical volume Vc critical temperature Tc Tc = temperature above which a gas can not be made to undergo a

condensation phase transition no matter how much it is compressed. Always one phase.

Synoptic Table 1C.2 Critical constants of gases

B. The van der Waals equation - an intuitively appealing approximate equation of state for a real gas. 1. Constructing the equation. a) First account for repulsive forces. Replace V in pV=nRT by the

effective available volume the molecules have to move in:

Modified equation becomes P(V-nb) = nRT Where b = excluded volume vdW parameter Excluded volume effect is to increase the P at fixed n, T.

Derive relation between b and the physical volume of a particle for the hard sphere gas case:

Answer: b = 4Vparticle*Navo For example: if molecule is 1.0 Å in radius b = 4* (4/3)π (1 Å)3 * 6.02 x 1023=1.009 x 10-5 m3/mol ~ 1.0 x 10-2 L/mol b) Second account for attractive forces. Should be proportional to the

frequency of collisions in the sample: collision frequency ∝ (n/V)2 = (molar conc)2 (P + a n2/V2)(V-nb) = nRT Where a = vdW attractive forces parameter. Attractive term effect is to decrease the observed pressure p,

everything else remaining fixed. Every gas is characterized by parameters a and b.

4. Relation of a and b to virial coefficients: By expanding p in a power series, we identify B = b - a/RT (second virial coefficient)

C. The principle of corresponding states.

Define reduced variables (dimensionless variable):

Pr = P/Pc Vr = Vm/Vc Tr = T/Tc

Observation that real gases behave virtually identically if expressed in

terms of reduced (dimensionless) variables. I.e., at same reduced V & T they exert approximately the same reduced

pressure. Works very well for spherical molecules. Why does this work so well? To see this rewrite vdW equation in terms of

reduced variables. Start with (P + an2/V2)(V-nb) = nRT

Since no a or b remain in the equation, the equation of state in

reduced variables is identical for every type of gas (as long as vdW equation is valid).

Example: H2 at 1 atm and 298 K behaves identically to NH3 at 8.7 atm

and 3638 K. How did we determine this? Look up the critical constants of the gases in question and use the principle of corresponding states.
