Properties of Gases &
Gas Laws
Unit 10
Kinetic Molecular Theory
1. Gases are composed of a large number of particles that behave like small, solid, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion.
2. These particles move in a straight line until they collide with another particle or the walls of the container (they follow Newtonian Physics).
3. These particles are much smaller than the distance between particles. Most of the volume of a gas is therefore empty space.
4. There is no force of attraction between gas particles or between the particles and the walls of the container.
5. Collisions between gas particles or collisions with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic. None of the energy of a gas particle is lost when it collides with another particle or with the walls of the container.
6. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature of the gas and nothing else.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic Molecular theory requires: An ideal gas that perfectly fits all the
assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory. A real gas is a gas that does not behave
completely according to the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory.
Ideal gases aren’t real, but they offer a good approximation at normal temperatures and pressures.
Properties of Gases Gases expand to fill their containers Gases are compressible Gases have relatively low densities Gases “flow” like liquids so both liquids and
gases are termed “fluid”. Gases undergo diffusion which is the
spontaneous mixing of the particles of two substances due to their random motion.
Pressure Pressure (P) is defined as the force per unit
area on a surface. Pressure = force/area
The unit for force is the newton (N). Some common units of pressure include:
mmHg, atm, kPa, mbar, torr The equality related to these:
760 mmHg = 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 1013 mbar = 760 torr
Familiar Pressure Measurments A barometer is a
device used to measure atmospheric pressure.
Because atmospheric pressure is often measured with a mercury barometer, a common unit of pressure is millimeters of mercury, mmHg.
Standard Temperature/Pressure The volume of a gas varies based on
temperature and pressure. In order to make valid comparisons of
volumes, scientists have agreed on standard conditions for gases. Standard Temperature and Pressure
(STP) is equal to exactly 1 atm pressure and 0º C (273K).
Memorize this!!!
Avogadro’s Principle
Equal volumes of gases under the same conditions have equal numbers of molecules. The Molar Volume (1mole) of any gas at STP is 22.4 L.
Volume Stoichiometry
If a gas is at STP, we can use the 4 steps of stoichiometry along with Avogodro’s Principle to calculate the volume of gas produced in a chemical equation.
Remember: the conversion factor is 1 mole = 22.4 L @ STP.
Sample Problem #1
How many liters of oxygen gas are needed to completely react 150L of hydrogen at STP according to this equation:
H2 + O2 H2O
First, balance the equation and add the given and unknown values.

Sample Problem #1 (cont.)
Step 2: 150 L H2 x 1 mole = 6.7 moles H2
22.4 L
Step 3: 6.7 moles H2 x 1 mole O2 = 3.4 moles O2
2 mole H2
Step 4: 3.4 moles O2 x 22.4 L = 75L O2
1 mole
Sample Problem #1 (Short Way)
Set up a proportion with the given on top and the unknown on the bottom:
2 moles H2 = 150 L H2
1 mole O2 X L O2
Now, cross multiply and solve for X:
2 X = 150
X = 75 L
Sample Problem #2
How many liters of nitrogen are needed to completely react with 10.0 L of hydrogen at STP according to this equation:
H2 + N2 NH3
Solution:
3 H2 + N2 2 NH310.0 L X L
Sample Problem #2 Solution
3 moles H2 = 10.0 L H2
1 mole N2 X L N2
3 X = 10.0
X = 3.33 L N2
How many grams of nitrogen?
3.33 L N2 x 1 mole = 0.149 mole N2
22.4 L
0.149 mol x 28.0134 g/mol = 4.17 g N2

Kelvin Temperature Scale & Gas Laws When using temperature
for ANY gas law problem, you must always convert Celsius to Kelvins.
To convert to Kelvins: K = C + 273.
K = Kelvin temperature; C = degrees Celsius.
To convert back to Celsius: C = K – 273.

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
Dalton’s law states that the pressure of a system is equal to the sum of the pressures of the gases in the system.
Ptotal = Pgas1 + Pgas2 + … The pressures of gases in our lungs at 37ºC at sea level
would be Ptotal = PN2 + PO2 + PCO2 + PH2O 573 mmHg + 100 mmHg + 40 mmHg + 47 mmHg = 760 mmHg (atmospheric pressure)
Gases Collected by Water Displacement
When a gas is collected over water, water vapor molecules are mixed with the gas.
Just as the gas exerts pressure, so does the water vapor.
To find the pressure of just the collected gas, use Dalton’s Law and subtract the pressure exerted by the water vapor.

Gases Collected by Water Displacement
Dalton’s Law Problem #1
Oxygen gas was collected over water when the barometer read 97.5 kPa, and 20.0ºC. What is the partial pressure of the oxygen collected?
At 20.0ºC, the pressure of water is 2.3 kPa. Ptotal – PH2O = PO2
97.5 – 2.3 = 95.2 kPa.

The Ideal Gas Law is a mathematical relationship between pressure, volume, temperature and number of moles of gas.
The formula is: PV = nRT
P = Pressure (in atm, mmHg or kPa) V = Volume (must be in Liters) n = number of moles R = Proportionality constant depending on units of
pressure: (8.314 L/kPa, 0.0821 L/atm or 62.4 L/mmHg) T = temperature (in Kelvins)

WS #7 Ideal Gas Law
Ideal Gas Law & Stoichiometry
If a reaction occurs at something other than STP, Avogadro’s Principle cannot be used. (22.4L is the molar volume at STP only.)
To solve these problems, you must combine stoichiometry with the Ideal Gas Law.
Key to all problems: Always find moles of what you know and convert to moles of what you want to find. This may require stoichiometry first or Ideal Gas
Law first.
Ideal Gas Law & Stoichiometry
How many liters of hydrogen gas are needed to produce 73.3 g of ammonia at 45.0ºC and 3.00 atm?
First, find moles of what you know and then convert to moles of what you want.

73.3 g NH3 = 4.30 mol NH3 x 3 mol H2 = 17.0304 g 2 mol NH3

First, find moles of what you know and then convert to moles of what you want.
H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 Na2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Limiting Reactant
How many grams of CO2 are formed if 10.0 g of carbon are burned in 20.0 dm3 of oxygen gas at STP? (what does dm3 represent?)
1. Write a balanced equation:C + O2 CO2
2. Change both quantities to moles:
10.0 g C = .833 mol C x 1 mol CO2 = .833 mol CO2
12.011g/mol 1 mol C
Limiting Reactant (Cont.)
2. Convert to moles to find the Limiting Reactant
20.0 dm3 O2 = .893 mol O2 x 1 mol CO2 = .893
22.4 L 1 mol O2 mol CO2
3. Carbon is the limiting reactant
4. Complete the problem on the basis of the limiting reactant.
.833 mol C x 1 mol CO2 = .833 mol CO2 x 44.0098 =
1 mol C 36.7 g CO2
Limiting Reactant (Cont.)
How many liters of excess reactant remains? You have .893 mol O2
You need .833 mol O2
Excess: .893 - .833 = .060 mol O2
.060 mol O2 x 22.4 L = 1.3 L O2
OR: 0.893 x 22.4L = 20.0 L 0.833 x 22.4 L = 18.7 L 20.0 L – 18.7 L =1.3 L O2
