Chapter 21 Physical properties of gases


Q1. Use the kinetic molecular theory to explain the following observed properties of gases: a Gases occupy all the available space in a container. b Gases can be easily compressed compared with their corresponding liquid forms. c A given volume of a gaseous substance weighs less than the same volume of the substance in the liquid state. d Gases will mix together readily. e The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures exerted by each of the gases in the mixture. A1. a b c d e olecules of gases are in constant! rapid! random motion and the forces between molecules are negligible. They continue to move outwards until stopped by the walls of the container! filling all the space available. ost of the volume occupied by a gas is space! so compression can be achieved by reducing the space between the particles. The molecules in a gas are spread much further apart than those of a liquid. A given mass of gas would occupy a much greater volume than the same mass of the liquid phase. Therefore! the density of the gas is less. Gases mix easily together because of the large amount of space between the molecules. The pressure exerted by a gas depends on the number of collisions of gas particles and the wall of the container. The pressure is independent of the type of gas involved. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases will depend on the total number of collisions each gas has with the container.

Q2. Use the ideas of the kinetic molecular theory of gases to explain the following observations: a Tyre manufacturers recommend a maximum pressure for tyres. b The pressure in a car"s tyres will increase if a long distance is travelled on a hot day. c #ou can smell dinner cooking as you enter the house. d A balloon will burst if you blow it up too much. A2. a Tyres have a recommended maximum pressure to give a comfortable ride as well as good traction on the road. $f the pressure in a tyre is too high! the gas inside cannot be compressed as easily and passengers will be more aware of bumps on the road. %uring a long &ourney on a hot day! the air in a tyre warms up. This means the air molecules have increased kinetic energy! and collisions with the walls of the tyres will increase! and so the pressure will increase.

'articles from the cooking food escape the pot and move randomly through the house. $f the food has an odour! and if there are enough particles in the air! you will detect the odour as you enter the house. As air is pumped into a balloon! air molecules collide with the rubber of the balloon! forcing it to expand. $f too much air is pumped in! the balloon reaches a stage where it cannot stretch any further. $f the number of collisions by molecules per given surface area is increased still further! the rubber will break.

Q3. (orse)drawn coaches had *tyres" made from a solid strip of rubber attached to a wooden wheel. +hy would these give a much bumpier ride than the modern pneumatic ,air)filled- tyre. A3. +hen an air)filled tyre passes over a bump in the road! the air molecules inside the tyre move and so absorb some of the shock. A solid rubber tyre can distort and absorb some shock! but is not as effective as an air)filled tyre. Q4.

'redict the shape of the graph of the distribution of molecular kinetic energies of the same sample of oxygen gas at 90567. A4. The peak of the graph would be higher and closer to the #)axis.

Q7. $n the kinetic molecular theory! pressure is described as the force per unit area of surface. Axplain what happens to the pressure in each of the following situations: a The temperature of a filled aerosol can is increased. b A gas in a syringe is compressed. A7. a As temperature increases! the average kinetic energy of gas molecules in the can will increase. This will lead to an increase in the frequency and force of collisions of gas molecules with the inside walls of the aerosol cans. This will cause an increase in pressure. As the syringe is compressed! the inside surface area of the syringe will decrease. The number of collisions of molecules per unit area per second with the inside walls of the syringe will increase. This will cause a pressure increase.

Chapter review
Q33. @ist the main features of the kinetic theory of gases. A33. Gases are composed of small particles ,atoms or molecules-. The volume of the particles themselves is very much smaller than the volume occupied by the gas. The particles move in a rapid! straight)line motion and collide with each other and with the walls of the container. The forces between particles are extremely weak. The collisions between particles are elastic. The average kinetic energy of the particles is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas. Q34. Use the kinetic theory of gases to explain why: a the pressure of a gas increases if its volume is reduced at constant temperature b the pressure of a gas decreases if its temperature is lowered at a constant volume c in a mixture of gases! the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of each gas d the pressure of a gas! held at constant volume and temperature! will increase if more gas is added to the container A34. a b As volume is reduced! there is an increase in the frequency of molecular collisions per unit wall area. This is measured as an increase in pressure. +hen the temperature of a gas is lowered! the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases. The rate of collisions between particles and the walls of the container decreases and particles collide with less force. As pressure is a measure of the force of molecular collisions per unit wall area of the container! pressure is found to decrease. $n a mixture of gases! the particles of each gas are moving and colliding with the walls of the container! independently of each other. Aach gas therefore exerts a pressure. As the gases behave independently of each other! total pressure is simply the sum of the individual gas ,or partial- pressures. +hen more gas is added to a container! the total number of particles in the container increases. 'rovided that the volume of the container and the temperature have not changed! the collisions of these additional particles means that the total pressure in the container has increased.

A35. a b c The pressure also increases inside the diver"s body. The pressure inside the lungs is high. Under these conditions! expansion of the lungs can cause in&ury. The *bends" are caused by gases! mainly nitrogen! coming out of solution in a diver"s blood when he or she ascends from a dive too rapidly. The gas can form small bubbles in &oints! muscle and other tissue! causing serious in&ury and great pain. To treat the bends! a diver is placed in a decompression chamber and the pressure is increased until nitrogen bubbles re)dissolve in the blood. 'ressure is then slowly reduced to one atmosphere. The longer a diver stays down on a dive! the more nitrogen will dissolve in the blood and the slower the ascent will need to be to avoid problems from the bends. $f a container of gas is opened and some of the gas escapes! what happens to the pressure of the remaining gas in the container. Use the kinetic molecular theory to explain what happens to the gas pressure in part a. The pressure inside the container is reduced when some of the gas escapes. There are fewer gas molecules to collide with each other and the walls of the container. 'ressure is the force exerted by the molecules over a defined area! so this will decrease.

(ow do these factors influence the clothing worn by astronauts who are working outside their spacecraft. +hat would happen to an astronaut who did not have this protective clothing. A37. Astronauts need to be protected from the very low temperatures and pressures. +ithout a pressurised space suit! all air would rapidly escape from their lungs and they would die from lack of oxygen. Cody tissue would also freeJe after a short time. Q38. *A &ar of air is a solution of gases." 7omment critically on this statement by comparing the behaviour of particles in this &ar to those in an aqueous solution. A38. The gas particles can mix fully at any concentration and move in any direction to fill a container of any siJe. 'articles in an aqueous solution are confined to a specific volume and have a limit to their solubility in each other. Q3". Axplain why: a there does not seem to be an upper limit to temperature b we can define an absolute Jero of temperature

A3". a b There appears to be no upper limit to the temperature scale since particles can move to very high speeds. The speed of a particle is related to its kinetic energy! which is related to the temperature of the surrounds. A plot of volume against temperature for a gas provides a straight)line graph! which intersects the temperature axis at a certain point. This point is called the absolute Jero of temperature. Cecause this graph can be drawn! it is possible to define absolute Jero.

Q7. +hich of the following points of the kinetic molecular theory can be used to explain that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure at a constant temperature. A 7ollisions between particles are elastic. $ /orces between particles are extremely weak. % The kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the temperature of the gas. & The volume of gas particles is very small compared with the volume occupied by the gas. A7. %. Cecause in a gas the particles are widely separated! gases are compressible. As the volume of the gas decreases! the particles are forced closer together! so there are more collisions of particles per second with the vessel wall! and so pressure will increase. Q8.
