5.7/5.1 Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
1. Gases consist of large number of molecules (atoms) that are in continuous, random motion.
2. The volume of all molecules of the gas is negligible compared to the volume in which the gas is contained.
3. Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules are negligible.
4. Energy can be transferred between molecules during collisions, but the average KE of the molecules does not change with time as long as the temperature of the gas remains constant.
5. The average kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to the Kelvin temperature. At any given temperature the molecules of all gases have the same average KE.

5.7/5.1 Notes: Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
a. Gases are compressible: because the gas particles have a small volume compared to the container.
b. Elastic collisions: when gases are left alone in a container do not seem to lose energy and do not spontaneously convert to the liquid. Energy is not lost during collisions.
c. The assumptions have limitations. gases can be liquefied if cooled enough. real gas molecules do attract one another to
some extent otherwise the particles would condense to form a liquid.

5.7 Gas Laws and Molecular Kinetic Theory
• Pressure is due to collisions between gas molecules and the walls of the container. Mgnitude determined by: force of collisions and frequency.
• Boyle’s Law: decreasing the volume of the gas at constant n and T increases the frequency of collisions with the container walls and therefore increases the pressure. (temp. constant – KE constant)
• Charles’ Law: Raising temperature increases the number of collisions and force of collisions (KE increases) with container wall. If the walls are flexible, they will be pushed back and the gas expands.

5.7 Gas Laws and Molecular Kinetic Theory
• Gay Lussac’s Law: Raising the temperature increases the number of collisions and the kinetic energy of the molecules. More collisions with greater energy (force) means higher pressure.
• Dalton’s Law: Molecules of a gas do not attract or repel each other. The distances between particles are very large, therefore each particular gas occupies the entire container.
5
Maxwell Distribution Curves
• Average Kinetic Energy at a given temperature is constant for a gas sample
• But, the speeds of the molecules vary (during to collisions with each other and with the walls of the container)
• Physics: momentum is conserved (palying pool)

5.7 Maxwell’s Distribution Curves
Molecules in a gas move at many different speeds.
The Maxwell distribution shows the fraction of the molecules that are moving at a particular speed.
The distribution shifts to higher speeds at higher temperatures.

• Variation in particle speeds for hydrogen gas at 273K
The vertical line on the graph represents the root-mean-square-speed (urms).
urms
The root-mean-square-speed is the square root of the averages of the squares of the speeds of all the particles in a gas sample at a particular temperature.

5.7 MKT of Gases: Equations
• Average KE = (3/2) RT
• Urms = M
RT3
The Urms is not the same as the mean (average ) speed. The difference is small.
11
Average Molecular speed
Average molecular kinetic energy depends only on temperature for ideal gases.
Therefore: Higher temperature means higher root-mean- square
speed (RMS), rms
The higher the molecular weight (molar mass), the lower the urms speed (same temperature)
12
Average Root Mean Square: Examples
18. Calculate the Urms speed, urms, of an N2 molecule at 25ºC.
(5.15 x 102 m/s)
19. Calculate the urms speed of helium atoms 25ºC. (1.36 x 103

5.8 Properties and Urms
• Diffusion rates: – gas movement due to random molecular motion– faster molecules = faster diffusion rate
• Effusion rates:– Gas movement through pinhole in a container– faster molecules = faster diffusion rate
• Heat conduction: – faster molecules = faster transfer of heat energy– sound travels faster in hot air then in cold air
15
5.8 Diffusion and Effusion
(a) Diffusion is the mixing of gas molecules by random motion under conditions where molecular collisions occur.
(Ib) Effusion is the escape of a gas through a pinhole without molecular collisions
16
5.8 Graham’s Law of Diffusion
• Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, the rate of diffusion of gas molecules are inversely proportional to the square root of their molecular masses.

21. It has taken 192 seconds for 1.4 L of an unknown gas to effuse through a porous wall and 84 seconds for the same volume of N2 gas to effuse at the same temperature and pressure. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas? (146 g/mol)
21. In a given period of time, 0.21 moles of a gas of RMM = 26 gmol-1 effuses. How many moles of HCN would effuse in the same period of time?

5.9 Real Gases
Two problems with the Kinetic Molecular Theory of "Ideal" Gases:
1. Gas particles have volume (they are not point masses). The volume becomes important under certain conditions.
2. When gas particles are close to each other, they attract each other.

1 mole of gas
The value for the equation is not always equal to 1
Corrections to the Ideal Gas Equation is needed
21
Factors Affecting Ideality of Gases
• Distance between molecules is related to gas
concentration:
RT
P
V
n
• At high concentration (high P, low V):
molecules are closer,
therefore stronger interactions between molecules:
repulsions or attractions
22
5.9 Real Gases: Effect of Volume
(a) At low pressure, the gas occupies the entire container and its volume is insignificant compared to the volume of the container.
(b) At high pressure, the volume of a real gas is somewhat larger than the ideal value for an ideal gas as gas molecules take up space.
Volume should go to zero, but it does not.

5.9 Real Gases: Effect of Pressure
At high pressures• Intermolecular distances
between molecules decrease
• Attractive forces start to play a role
• Stickiness factor• Measured pressure is less
than expected

5.9 Real Gases: Corrections
• Constant needed to correct intermolecular attractive forces (make it larger)
• Constant needed to correct for volume of individual gas molecules (make it smaller)
The constants are characteristic properties of the substances: depend on the make-up and geometry of the substance

Factors Affecting Ideality of Gases
– Repulsion make pressure higher than expected by decreasing the free volume in the container
– Attractions make pressure lower than expected by breaking molecular collisions (less collisions) against the walls of the container).
– Tug-of-war between these two effects causes the following:
• Repulsion win at very high pressure• Attractions win at moderate pressure• Neither attractions nor repulsions are important at
low pressure.

• V of a real gas > V of an ideal gas because V of gas molecules is significant when P is high. Ideal Gas Equation assumes that the individual gas molecules have no volume.
