The Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory

14.1 Molecular Mass, the Mole, and Avogadro’s Number

To facilitate comparison of the mass of one atom with another, a mass scaleknow as the atomic mass scale has been established.

The unit is called the atomic mass unit (symbol u).

kg106605.1u 1 27

The atomic mass is given in atomicmass units. For example, a Li atom has a mass of 6.941u.

14.1 Molecular Mass, the Mole, and Avogadro’s Number

One mole of a substance contains as manyparticles as there are atoms in 12 grams ofthe isotope cabron-12.

The number of atoms per mole is known asAvogadro’s number, NA.

The mass per mole (in g/mol) of a substancehas the same numerical value as the atomic or molecular mass of the substance (in u).

For example Hydrogen has an atomic massof 1.00794 g/mol, while the mass of a single hydrogen atom is 1.00794 u.

Example 1 The Hope Diamond and the Rosser Reeves Ruby

The Hope diamond (44.5 carats) is almost pure carbon. The RosserReeves ruby (138 carats) is primarily aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Onecarat is equivalent to a mass of 0.200 g. Determine (a) the number ofcarbon atoms in the Hope diamond and (b) the number of Al2O3 molecules in the ruby.

14.2 The Ideal Gas Law

An ideal gas is an idealized model for real gases that have sufficiently low densities.

The condition of low density means that the molecules are so far apart that they do not interact except during collisions, which are effectively elastic.

TP

At constant volume the pressureis proportional to the temperature.

14.2 The Ideal Gas Law

At constant temperature, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume.

VP 1

The pressure is also proportionalto the amount of gas.

14.2 The Ideal Gas Law

THE IDEAL GAS LAW

The absolute pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the Kelvintemperature and the number of moles of the gas and is inversely proportionalto the volume of the gas.

14.2 The Ideal Gas Law

Example 2 Oxygen in the Lungs

In the lungs, the respiratory membrane separates tiny sacs of air(pressure 1.00x105Pa) from the blood in the capillaries. These sacsare called alveoli. The average radius of the alveoli is 0.125 mm, andthe air inside contains 14% oxygen. Assuming that the air behaves asan ideal gas at 310K, find the number of oxygen molecules in one ofthese sacs.

Conceptual Example 3 Beer Bubbles on the Rise

Watch the bubbles rise in a glass of beer. If you look carefully, you’llsee them grow in size as they move upward, often doubling in volumeby the time they reach the surface. Why does the bubble grow as itascends?

14.2 The Ideal Gas Law

Consider a sample of an ideal gas that is taken from an initial to a finalstate, with the amount of the gas remaining constant.

14.3 Kinetic Theory of Gases

The particles are in constant, randommotion, colliding with each otherand with the walls of the container.

Each collision changes the particle’s speed.

As a result, the atoms and molecules have different speeds.

Example 6 The Speed of Molecules in Air

Air is primarily a mixture of nitrogen N2 molecules (molecular mass 28.0u) and oxygen O2 molecules (molecular mass 32.0u). Assumethat each behaves as an ideal gas and determine the rms speedsof the nitrogen and oxygen molecules when the temperature of the airis 293K.
