Ch14. The Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory
Molecular Mass, the Mole, and Avogadro's Number
To set up atomic mass scale, a reference value (along with a
unit) is chosen for one of the elements. The unit is called theatomic mass unit(symbol: u). By international agreement, the
reference element is chosen to be the most abundant type or
isotope* of carbon, which is called carbon-12. Its atomic mass
* is defined to be exactly twelve atomic mass units, or 12 u.
The relationship between the atomic mass unit and the
kilogram is

unit.

The molecular mass of a molecule is the sum of the atomic masses
of its atoms.
Macroscopic amounts of materials contain large numbers of atoms
or molecules. Even in a small volume of gas, 1 cm3, for example,
the number is enormous. It is convenient to express such large
numbers in terms of a single unit, thegram-mole, or simply the
mole (symbol: mol). One gram-mole of a substance contains asmany particles (atoms or molecules) as there are atoms in 12 grams
of the isotope carbon-12.
12 grams of carbon-12 contain 6.022 1023 atoms. The number of
atoms per mole is known asAvogadros number NA, after theItalian scientist Amedeo Avogadro (17761856):

The mass per mole (in g/mol) of a substance has thesame numerical value as the atomic or molecular mass
of the substance (in atomic mass units).

Example 1. The Hope Diamond and the
Rosser Reeves Ruby
The Hope diamond (44.5 carats), which is almost pure carbon. The
Rosser Reeves ruby (138 carats), which is primarily aluminum
oxide (Al2O3). One carat is equivalent to a mass of 0.200 g.
Determine (a) the number of carbon atoms in the diamond and (b)
the number of Al2O3 molecules in the ruby.
(a) m = (44.5 carats)[(0.200 g)/(1 carat)] = 8.90 g

The absolute pressure of an ideal gas is proportional to the number
of molecules or, equivalently, to the number of moles n of the gas (P
n).
P nT/V.
IDEAL GAS LAW
The absolute pressurePof an ideal gas is directly
proportional to the Kelvin temperature Tand the numberof moles n of the gas and is inversely proportional to the
volume Vof the gas:P=R(nT/V). In other words,
whereR is the universal gas constant and has the value of 8.31
J/(molK).

(18441906), and is represented by the symbol k:

Example 2. Oxygen in the Lungs
In the lungs, the respiratory membrane separates tiny sacs of air(absolute pressure = 1.00 105 Pa) from the blood in the
capillaries. These sacs are called alveoli, and it is from them that
oxygen enters the blood. The average radius of the alveoli is 0.125
mm, and the air inside contains 14% oxygen. Assuming that the
air behaves as an ideal gas at body temperature (310 K), find thenumber of oxygen molecules in one of the sacs.

One mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters
at a temperature of 273 K (0 C) and a pressure of oneatmosphere (1.013 105 Pa). These conditions of
temperature and pressure are known as standard
temperature and pressure (STP).

Conceptual Example 3.
Beer Bubbles on the Rise
The next time you get a chance, watch the bubbles rise in a
glass of beer. If you look carefully, youll see them grow in size
as they move upward, often doubling in volume by the time
they reach the surface. Why does a bubble grow as it ascends?
The number of moles does increase as the bubble rises.
Each bubble acts as a nucleation site for CO2 molecules,
so as a bubble moves upward, it accumulates carbon
dioxide from the surrounding beer and grows larger.

Boyles law
A pressure-versus-volumeplot for a gas at a constant
temperature is called an
isotherm. For an ideal gas,
each isotherm is a plot of the
equationP = nRT/V =constant/V.

Example 4. Scuba Diving
In scuba diving, a greater water pressure acts on a diver at
greater depths. The air pressure inside the body cavities (e.g.,
lungs, sinuses) must be maintained at the same pressure as that
of the surrounding water; otherwise they would collapse. A
special valve automatically adjusts the pressure of the airbreathed from a scuba tank to ensure that the air pressure
equals the water pressure at all times. The scuba gear consists of
a 0.0150-m3 tank filled with compressed air at an absolute
pressure of 2.02 107 Pa. Assuming that air is consumed at a
rate of 0.0300 m3 per minute and that the temperature is the
same at all depths, determine how long the diver can stay under
seawater at a depth of (a) 10.0 m and (b) 30.0 m.

number of moles) of a low-density gas is directly
proportional to the Kelvin temperature (V T).

THE INTERNAL ENERGY OF A
MONATOMIC IDEAL GASThe internal energy of a substance is the sum of the various kinds of
energy that the atoms or molecules of the substance possess. A
monatomic ideal gas is composed of single atoms. These atoms are
assumed to be so small that the mass is concentrated at a point, with
the result that the moment of inertiaIabout the center of mass isnegligible.

Diffusion
The process in which molecules move from a region of higherconcentration to one of lower concentration is called diffusion.
The host medium, such as the air or water, is referred to as the
solvent, while the diffusing substance, like the perfume
molecules, is known as the solute. Relatively speaking,
diffusion is a slow process, even in a gas.

Conceptual Example 7.
Why Diffusion Is Relatively Slow
In Example 6 we have seen that
a gas molecule has a
translational rms speed of
hundreds of meters per second
at room temperature. At such aspeed, a molecule could travel
across an ordinary room in just
a fraction of a second. Yet, it
often takes several seconds, and
sometimes minutes, for the
fragrance of a perfume to reach
the other side of a room. Why
does it take so long?
-

34/54
34
When a perfume molecule diffuses through air, it
makes millions of collisions each second with airmolecules. The speed and direction of motion change
abruptly as a result of each collision. Between
collisions, the perfume molecule moves in a straight
line at a constant speed. Although a perfume
molecule does move very fast between collisions, it
wanders only slowly away from the bottle because of
the zigzag path resulting from the collisions. It would
take a long time for a molecule to diffuse in this
manner across a room. Usually, however, convectioncurrents are present and carry the fragrance across
the room in a matter of seconds or minutes.

Using diffusion, a transdermal patch delivers a drug directly into the
skin, where it enters blood vessels. The backing contains the drugwithin the reservoir, and the control membrane limits the rate of
diffusion into the skin. Another way to control the diffusion is to
adjust the concentration of the drug in the reservoir by dissolving it
in a neutral material.

Large amounts of water can be given off by plants. It has been
estimated, for instance, that a single sunflower plant can lose up
to a pint of water a day during the growing season. Figure 14.17shows a cross-sectional view of a leaf. Inside the leaf, water
passes from the liquid phase to the vapor phase at the walls of
the mesophyll cells. The water vapor then diffuses through the
intercellular air spaces and eventually exits the leaf through
small openings, called stomatal pores. The diffusion constant for
water vapor in air isD = 2.4 105 m2/s. A stomatal pore has a
cross-sectional area of aboutA = 8.0 1011 m2 and a length of
aboutL = 2.5 105 m. The concentration of water vapor on the
interior side of a pore is roughly C2 = 0.022 kg/m3
, while that onthe outside is approximately C1 = 0.011 kg/m
3. Determine the
mass of water vapor that passes through a stomatal pore in one
hour.

Thus, the time trequired for a water molecule to travel the
distance at this speed is
c. In part (a), when a water molecule diffuses through air, it makes
millions of collisions each second with air molecules. The speed and
direction changes abruptly as a result of each collision. Between
collisions, the water molecules move in a straight line at constant
speed. Although a water molecule does move very quickly between
collisions, it wanders only very slowly in a zigzag path from one endof the channel to the other. In contrast, a water molecule traveling
unobstructed at its translational rms speed [as in part (b)], will have
a larger displacement over a much shorter time. Therefore, the
answer to part (a) is much longer than the answer to part (b)
