4. STATES OF MATTER (GASES AND LIQUIDS)

Synopsis :1. Anything which has mass and occupies some space is called matter.

2. Matter exists in three different physical states known as solids, liquids and gases.

3. Depending on the temperature and pressure a substance can exist in either of the 3 states and

these 3 states are inter convertible by changing P and T.

4. Both liquids and gases are termed as fluids as they have flowing ability.

5. Of these three states, gaseous state is the simplest because of uniformity in behavior.

K = 1.38 10-23Joules /K/molecule25. A gas which obeys gas laws (or) Ideal gas equation under all conditions of temperature and

pressure is known as ideal gas or perfect gas.

26. No gas is perfectly ideal in nature. Every gas deviates more or less from ideal nature. So all the

known gases are real gases.

27. Real gases deviate from ideal behaviour at high pressures and low temperatures.28. Real gases will show nearer ideal behaviour at low pressures and high temperatures.

29. Real gases can be liquefied easily at high pressure and low temperature. This is due to inter

molecular attractions.

10. Lighter gases diffuse rapidly than heavier gases.

11. The diffusion of a gas at high pressure into low pressure or vaccum, through a small hole is

known as Effusion.

12. Grahams law of diffusion is applicable to effusion also.

13. The separation of the component gases from a gaseous mixture based on the difference in

their rates of diffusion is known as Atmolysis.

14. Marsh gas or Ansil's apparatus alaram works on the principle of diffusion property of

gases.

Applications of diffusion

1. In the detection of marsh gas in coal mines.

2. In the separation of gas mixtures

3. In the seperation of isotopes Ex: U235can be seperated from U238in the form of UF64. In diluting poisionous and foul smelling gases.

5. In the determination of molecular weights and densities of gases.

DALTON'S LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURES:

1. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of

component gases present in the mixture P = P1+ P2+ P3+ .....

2. The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure exerted by that gas in the mixture of gases.

3. The partial pressure of a gas is equal to the product of its mole fraction and the total pressure of

the mixture of gases.

If two different gases with equal masses are present in the mixture, the gas with less molecular

weight has more partial pressure.

If two different gases with different masses and different molecular weights but same volumesare mixed together, their partial pressures are same.

Dalton's law of partial pressures is applicable the mixture of non reacting gases.

Ex: CO+CO2, N2+O2H2+N2, H2+O2, SO2+O2,

NO2+O2

Dalton's law of partial pressures is not applicable for reacting gases

Ex: CO+O2, NO+Cl, CO+Cl2, SO2HCL2,

H2+F2, NO+O2, NH3+HCl

Aqueous Tension:

The pressure exerted by water vapour which is in equilibrium with liquid water is called

aqueous tension. It is denoted by "f"

Aqueous tension increases with temperature.

Water insoluble gases are collected over water and they become moist gases. Pdry gas= Pmoist gas

f

Water insoluble gases are generally collected over water. A gas collected over water is

saturated with water vapour. Such a gas is called moist gas.

The volume of a moist gas is generally measured at atmospheric pressure. So pressure of moist

gas is equal to atmospheric pressure.

The pressure of water vapour in a moist gas is known as aqueous tension.

Pmoist gas= Pdry gas+ aqueous tension

The aqueous tension increases with temperature

KINETIC THEORY OF GASES:

1. Kinetic molecular theory of gases was proposed by Maxwell, Boltzmen, Calssius.


8/19


8

2. Kinetic molecular theory is applicable only to ideal gases.

3. Every gas contains a large number of tiny particles called molecules.

4. The actual volume of the molecules is negligible when compared with the volume occupied

gas.

5. There are no intermolecular attractions or repulsion between the gas molecules. So ideal gasescannot be liquefied.

6. The molecules move randomly and straight in all directions with different velocities.

7. The molecules collide among themselves and also with the walls of the container.

8. The molecular collisions are perfectly elastic.

9. Molecular collisions are unaffected by gravity .

10. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the collisions of molecules on the walls of the

container. There is no loss of energy in these collisions, collisions are said to be elastic.11. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature of

the gas.

Validity of kinetic theory:

Kinetic theory holds good at low pressure and high temperatures and fails at high pressure and

low temperatures.

i) Actual volumes of gas molecules are negligible at low P and high T but considerable at high

'P' and low 'T'

ii) Gases are not liquefiable at very low P and high T but they can be liquefied at high 'P' low T.

Thus kinetic theory is applicable for ideal gases and not applicable for real gases.

Kinetic gas Equation:

Based on the assumptions of kinetic theory of gases, kinetic gas equation is derived.

The RMS velocity is the root of mean of squares of individual velocities of gas molecules at a

Average kinetic energy of any gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature and

independent of nature of gas. This is called Maxwell's generalization.

Two different gases at same temperature will posses same average K.E.

If two different gases present at same temperature are mixed with each other there will not beany rise in temperature.

Distribution of Molecular velocities:

Due to frequent collisions among themselves and with the walls of the container, the velocities

of gas molecules can not remain constant.

The velocity of a gas molecule will remain same only in very short period i.e. 10-9seconds.

Though the velocities change so frequently, the ratio of certain number of molecules with

certain velocity to the total number of molecules remains constant.

The plot of fraction of molecule Vsvelocity gives the following graph.

Conclusions from the above graph

No single molecule will possess zero velocity

Very few molecules have either very low velocities or high velocities

With increase in temperature, the number of molecules possessing higher velocities is increased

and the number of molecules possessing low velocities and the number of molecules possessing

most probable velocity is decreased.

As the velocities of the molecules increase, the fraction of the molecules possessing a particular

velocity also increases up to maximum value and then decreases. Boltzman equation: It is useful to know the number of molecules having particular energy in a

given sample of gas at a given temperature.

INTERMOLECULAR FORCES:

Inter molecular forces usually called as van der waal forces.

Inter molecular forces are several types

1) ion - dipole 2) dipole - dipole

3) dipole- induced dipole4) induced dipole - induced dipole and a specific inter molecular force i.e., Hydrogen bond.

All the intermolecular forces are electrical

Intermolecular forces generates as the result of the neutral attractions of unlike charges (or)

repulsions of like charges.

Ion - dipole interactions :

It is attractive force between ion and dipole

Ex : In water interaction between Na+and 2H O (dipole molecule) or Cl

and 2H O

The magnitude of interaction energy depends on the charge on the ion (z), its dipole moment

( ) and on the inverse square of the distance (r) between the ion and the dipole2. /E Z r =

Ion - dipole forces are mainly important in aqueous solutions of ionic substances

Ex: NaCl in water

Dipole - Dipole forces

Neutral but polar molecules experience dipole-dipole forces

These forces are due to electrical interactions among dipoles on neighbouring molecules

These are two types

a) Attractive forces between unlike poles

b) Repulsive forces between like poles

These forces are generally weak, are in the order of 3-4 KJ/mol. and significant only when

molecules are in close contact

The strength of a given dipole - dipole interaction depends on the sizes of the dipole moments

involved

As the molecule is more polar, dipole-dipole interactions are more and boiling point of

substance will be more

a) Dipole - Dipole interactions in solids is proportional to3

1

r

b) Dipole- Dipole interactions between rotating molecules is proportional to6

1r here r is the

distance between polar molecules.

London dispersion forces:

Instantaneous dipole on one atom can affect the electron distributions in neighbouring atoms

and induce temporary dipoles in those neighbours. As a result weak attractive forces develop

known as london forces or dispersion forces.

London forces energies are in the range 1-10 kJ/mol.

The magnitude of London forces depends on polarisability.

A smaller molecule (or) atom is less polarisable and has smaller dispersion forces


13/19


13

A larger molecule or heavier atom is more polarisable and has larger disperson forces

2F has smaller dispersion forces hence it is gas where as 2I has larger disperson forces and it

is a solid.

These are always attractive forces and proportional to6

1

r , here r is distance between the

two interactive particles.

More spread out shapes posses higher dispersion forces than those compact molecules which

minimise molecular contact hence posses lower dispersion forces

Ex: n - pentane, b.p is 309.4k( long chain)

2,2 - dimethyl propane, b.p is 282.7k (compact chain)

Dipole - Induced forces:

These forces are in between polar molecules and neutral molecule.

Permanent dipole of the polar molecule induces dipole on the electrically neutral molecule by

deforming into electric cloud and attractive forces develop.

This interaction range is proportional to2

1

r here r is the distance between the molecules.

The magnitude of induced dipole moment also depends on the magnitude of the dipole

moment of permanent dipole and polarisability of neutral molecule.

These repulsive forces between the particles (atoms, molecules or ions) are due to electron -

electron repulsions (or) nucleus - nucleus repulsions.

Thermal Energy

The energy due to the motion of the atoms or molecules of the substance.

Thermal energy is directly proportional to absolute temparature of the substance.

It is a measure of average kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance. The movement of particles is called thermal motion.

If thermal energy predominates over inter molecular forces the substances would change from

solid liquid gas If intermolecular forces predominate over thermal energy then substance change from

gas liquid solid.Molecular collisions and mean free path :

Mean free path() : The average distance that a molecule travels between two successive

collisions is called as Mean free path( )

In gases the mean free paths of molecules are several hundred molecular diameters, where as

in liquids it is less than the diameter of molecules.

Conditions of liquifaction of gases :

A gas liquifies if it is cooled below its boiling point at a given pressure.

Gases which have very low b.p are liquified by using Joule-Thomson efect:

Joule - Thomson effect:

Cooling of gas by expansion from high pressure side to low pressure is called Joule -

Thomson effect .

Hydrogen gas under normal conditions, it warms up in Joule- Thomson expansion. (Since

Z>1).

Hydrogen gas also cooled by Joule - Thomson effect if it cooled first to its inversion

temparatureand then allowed to expand.

LIQUID STATE

Liquids , a) possess strong intermolecular forces

b) less compressable c) more denser

d) has definite volume e) can flow like gases

Vapour pressure:

The pressure exerted by vapours when there is an equilibrium state between the liquid phase

and vapour phase is called equilibrium vapour pressure (or) saturated vapour presure.

Free vapourisation through out the liquid is called boiling

At 1 atmosphere pressure boiling temparature is called normal boiling point and at 1 bar

pressure it is called standard boiling point of the liquid.

Standard boiling point of a liquid is slightly less than the normal boiling point since 1 bar is

less than 1 atm.

Ex: normal b.p. of water is 373k and standard b.p. of water is 372.6k

At high altitude as the atmospheric pressure is less, the liquids boil at low temperature.

In auto claves water is boiled under high pressure to sterilise instruments. In a closed vessel a liquid on heating doesnt boil but its vapour pressure increases and at a

critical temperature, density of liquid and density of vapour is going to be equal.

Surface tension: (r):

The force acting along the surface of a liquid at right angles to any line of 1 unit length .

The energy required to increase the surface area of the liquid by 1 unit is called surface

energy.

Units for surface energy is2

Jm

Surface tension is numerically and dimensionally equal to surface energy.

units for surface tension is kgs and SI unit1

The liquid has lowest energy when the surface area is minimum . Hence liquid droplets exist

in spherical shape.

Surface tension decreases with increase of temperature because of increase in kinetic energy

of molecules and decrease in intermolecular forces.

Viscosity:

Strong intermolecular forces between the molecules of successive layers of liquid holding

them together show resistance to the flow and create friction between the layers of fluid. Themeasure of this resistance to the flow of liquid is viscosity.

The regular gradation of velocity for layers in passing from one layer to the next layer is

called Laminar flow.

A force (F) is required to maintain the flow of layers is proportional to the area (A) of contact

and velocity gradient

As viscosity increases, liquids flow slowly.

Hydrogen bond and vander Waals forces cause high viscosity.

Glass is an extremely viscous liquid and properties resemble solids.

As the temperature increases, viscosity decreases since kinetic energy of molecules that

overcome the intermolecular forces.
