Chapter 5 The Properties of Gases
Some of the properties of gases were discovered by balloonists trying to improve their flight performance. These balloonists are using their knowledge of these properties to stay aloft.Life = breath = flow of gas
Figure 5.2 The 11 elements that are gases under normal conditions. Note how they lie toward the upper right of the periodic table. All the gaseous elements except those in Group 18 are diatomic.

Figure 5.3 A gas can easily be compressed into a smaller volume by pushing in a piston. This property suggests that there is a lot of space between the molecules. Liquids and solids are almost incompressible, which suggests that their molecules are in contact with one another.
Figure 5.4 The pressure of a gas arises from the collisions that its molecules make with the walls of the container. The storm of collisions exerts an almost steady force on the walls.

Figure 5.5 A barometer is used to measure the pressure of the atmosphere. The pressure of the atmosphere is balanced by the pressure exerted by the column of mercury. The height of the column is proportional to the pressure.

The Parameters for Describing a Gas
• Pressure (P)
• Volume (V)
• Temperature (T)
• Amount (Mole, n)
Figure 5.7 Boyle’s law summarizes the effect of pressure on the volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature.

Figure 5.8 When the pressure is plotted against 1/volume, a straight line is obtained. For real gases, Boyle’s law breaks down at high pressures beyond the scope of this graph, and a straight line is not obtained in these regions.

Figure 5.9 (a) As we have seen, the pressure of a gas arises from the impacts of its molecules on the walls of the container. (b) When the volume of a sample is decreased, there are more molecules in a given volume, so there are more collisions with the walls. Because the total impact on the walls is now greater, so is the pressure. In other words, decreasing the volume occupied by a gas without changing its temperature increases its pressure.

Figure 5.10 Charles’s Law: When the temperature of a gas is increased and it is free to change its volume at constant pressure (as depicted by the constant weight acting on the piston), the volume increases. A graph of volume against temperature is a straight line.

Figure 5.11The extrapolation of data like that in Fig. 5.10 for a number of gases suggests that the volume of all gases should become 0 at 273°C (T 0 on the Kelvin scale). All gases condense to liquids well before that temperature is reached.

Figure 5.12 Gay-Lussac’s Law: The pressure of a fixed amount of gas in a vessel of constant volume is proportional to the absolute temperature. The pressure extrapolates to 0 at T 0 on the Kelvin scale.

Figure 5.16 When measured at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases contain the same numbers of moles. Therefore, the ratios of the volumes of reactant and product gases in a chemical reaction are the same as the mole ratios.

Figure 5.17 The volumes of gases produced in a chemical reaction can be determined by using the molar volume of an ideal gas at the temperature and pressure of the reaction to convert moles to volume.

Figure 5.21 At the same temperature and pressure, a molecule occupies essentially the same volume in any gas. Hence, the greater the mass of each molecule, the greater the density of the gas. The illustration shows samples of hydrogen and chlorine at the same pressure, volume, and temperature. The numbers are the molar masses in grams per mole.

Figure 5.22 According to Dalton’s law, the total pressure P of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures PA and PB of the components. These partial pressures are the pressures the gases would exert if they were alone in the container (at the same temperature).

Figure 5.24 (a) In diffusion, the molecules of one substance spread into the region occupied by molecules of another in a series of random steps, undergoing collisions as they move. (b) In effusion, the molecules of one substance escape through a small hole in a barrier. In both cases, the rate increases with increasing temperature and decreases with increasing molar mass.

Diffusion and effusion rate are used for describing overall or directionalmotion.
Case Study 5 (a)This speculative history of the atmosphere shows a change from a predominantly reducing to a predominantly oxidizing atmosphere (rich in O2) about 2 billion years ago when photosynthetic plants started to appear. Hydrogen has been lost to compound formation and to outer space. Earth is the only planet in the solar system with an oxidizing atmosphere.
Case Study 5 (b) These maps of stratospheric ozone concentration over the North Pole show how the ozone has been depleted since 1979. Red areas represent ozone concentrations greater than 500 Dobson units (DU); the concentrations decrease through green, yellow, and blue, to purple at less than 270 DU. Normal ozone concentration at temperate latitudes is about 350 DU. A Dobson unit is equivalent to a layer of pure ozone of thickness 1 mm and a pressure of 1 atm.
Case Study 5 (c) An atmospheric scientist prepares an experimental pod for its ascent to the stratosphere in a research balloon from a site in Sweden. The balloon carries equipment that can measure the concentration of 15 pollutants suspected of reducing atmospheric ozone levels.
Figure 5.25 In the kinetic model of gases, the molecules are regarded as infinitesimal points that travel in straight lines until they undergo instantaneous collisions.

Figure 5.26 Molecules attract one another over several molecular diameters. The strength of the attraction (as depicted by the lengths of the arrows) increases as they approach. This attraction is responsible for the condensation of a gas to a liquid.

Diffusion and effusion rate are used for describing overall or directionalmotion. Average speed and rms speed are used for describing randommotion.
Figure 5.27 The average speeds of gas molecules at 25°C in meters per second. The gases are some of the components of air; hydrogen is included to show that light molecules travel much more rapidly on average than heavy molecules.
Diffusion/effusion rate ismuch smaller than average speed or RMS speed!

Investigating Matter 5.1 (a) The variation of temperature with altitude in the atmosphere and the various zones into which the atmosphere is divided. The temperature profile represents the consequences of the differing interactions of molecules with solar radiation.
Investigating Matter 5.1 (b) The winds associated with storms result from differences in air pressure. High winds such as the hurricane-generated winds pictured here can cause extensive damage.
Diffusion/effusion rate ismuch smaller than average speed or RMS speed!
Figure 5.28 (a) The range of molecular speeds for several gases, as given by the Maxwell distribution. All the curves correspond to the same temperature. The greater the molar mass, the narrower the spread of speeds. (b) The Maxwell distribution again, but now the curves correspond to the speeds of a single substance at different temperatures. The higher the temperature, the broader the spread of speeds.

Figure 5.30 A plot of the compression factor Z PV/nRT as a function of pressure for a variety of gases. For an ideal gas, this ratio is equal to 1 for all pressures. For a few real gases with very weak intermolecular attractions, PV/nRT is always greater than 1. For most gases, at low pressures the attractive forces are dominant and PV/nRT < 1. At high pressures, repulsive forces become dominant and PV/nRT > 1.
