Lecture 13 - kinetic gas theory !
Characteristics of a gas
•a gas will expand to occupy all available space it is in and will not form a seperate
surface
•Gases have no fixed volume or shape
•Atoms in a gas move independently of each other and move randomly
•Gas exerts a pressure
Gas pressure
•particles in constant motion collide with each other and the surrounding walls
•Pressure: force / area force is applied
Units of pressure !
Standard temperature and pressure !
STP is 273.15 K (00C) and 1 bar
Absolute temperature
0 K = -273.15 0 C
Ideal gas laws
*laws that describe the properties of ideal gases !
SI units of pressure = N m -2
1 Pa = N m -2
1 atm = 1.01325 x 105 Pa
1 torr = 1/760 atm
1 bar = 1 x 105 Pa

Document Summary
Gas pressure: particles in constant motion collide with each other and the surrounding walls, pressure: force / area force is applied. Si units of pressure = n m -2. Stp is 273. 15 k (00c) and 1 bar. * laws that describe the properties of ideal gases. Volume is proportional to the amount of gas. Describes how an ideal gas performs under given conditions of pressure, volume and temperature. The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone in the container. This theory assumes that the the identity of the gas does not make a di erence to the pressure (only the number of gas molecules) - it assumes that all the molecules are ideal gases. Where pi = partial pressure of that gas. Xi = the mole fraction of that gas. P = the total pressure of the mixture of gases.
