DESCRIPTION

Boyle’s Law Fill a cup with water and while under water, turn it upside down and pick it up. This action tries to increase the volume inside the cup. Pressure drops and outside pressure will push in allowing you to pick up water against gravity. Don’t raise the cup over the water line

Boyle’s lawVolume of a gas is inversely

proportional to the pressure on a gas.V 1/PTherefore VP = k (some constant

for each gas)ViPi = VfPf

Boyle’s LawIf you have 145 mL of a gas at 67

kPa. What volume will it occupy at 127 kPa?

VP = VP145 mL (67kPa) = V (127 kPa)V = 76 mL

Boyle’s LawFill a cup with water and while under

water, turn it upside down and pick it up.

This action tries to increase the volume inside the cup.

Pressure drops and outside pressure will push in allowing you to pick up water against gravity.

Don’t raise the cup over the water line

Water in a cup

Water

Cup (with a little bit of airin it)

Gravity wants to pull the water in the cup down.However if it fell it would leave a big space of nothing (vacuum)Air pressure pushes to stop the vacuum from forming by pushing on the surface of the liquid. Not allowing the water level to rise.

The water will fall once the air pressure equals the pressure (weight divided by area) of the water being lifted.

Which wouldmake the water level rise.

BarometerPressure can be measured with a barometer.Which works just like the cup but with

mercury.

Page 6: Boyle’s law Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on a gas. V  1/P Therefore VP = k (some constant for each gas) V i P i = V f P f

Why use mercury?Mercury is dense and will fill a

small tubeAbout 760 mm Hg is needed

under normal conditions.Water would fill a 10 m high tube

to replace mercuryStandard pressure is 760 torr or

29.9 inches Hg

Modern BarometersDigital Barometers use a sensor with a

sealed drum. Top of the drum is flexible.Sealed inside the drum is air at a known

(calibrated) pressure.Higher outside pressure pushes the drum in.Lower outside pressure bows the drum out.

How do substances expand?

Cooling makes substances contract.Especially with gases.Charles’ Law: The volume of a gas is

directly proportional to the temperature of that gas.

V T; V/T = kVi/Ti = Vf/Tf

Page 12: Boyle’s law Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on a gas. V  1/P Therefore VP = k (some constant for each gas) V i P i = V f P f

Charles’ LawIf you have 6.7 L of a gas at 298 K,

what volume will it occupy at 0o C?V/T = V/T6.7 L / (298 K) = V / (273 K)*Temp must be in Kelvin because

zero would make it undefined!V = 6.1 L

Page 13: Boyle’s law Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on a gas. V  1/P Therefore VP = k (some constant for each gas) V i P i = V f P f

Charles’ LawVolume = 0.731 L of a gas at 318 K,

What is the temperature if it occupies 1.34 L?

V/T = V/T0.731 L / (318 K) = 1.34 L / TT = 583 K

Page 14: Boyle’s law Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on a gas. V  1/P Therefore VP = k (some constant for each gas) V i P i = V f P f

Gay-Lussac’s LawThe pressure of a gas is directly

proportional to its temperature.T/P = T/PThis is why an aerosol can or a tire feels

cooler when air is released.It is also how a diesel engine ignites the

fuel. It compresses it until it ignites.

Page 15: Boyle’s law Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on a gas. V  1/P Therefore VP = k (some constant for each gas) V i P i = V f P f

Combined Gas LawThis is made by combining Charles’ and

Boyle’s Law.Vi Pi / Ti = Vf Pf / Tf

Temperature must be in Kelvin (so it can never be 0)

Volume and pressure can be in any unit as long as it is the same on both sides.

Page 16: Boyle’s law Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on a gas. V  1/P Therefore VP = k (some constant for each gas) V i P i = V f P f

A problemIf a gas occupies 34 L at 1.2 atm

and 290 K, what volume will it occupy at 1.1 atm and 280 K?

Vi Pi / Ti = Vf Pf / Tf

34L (1.2atm) / 290 K = V (1.1atm)/280K

V = 36 L

Page 17: Boyle’s law Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on a gas. V  1/P Therefore VP = k (some constant for each gas) V i P i = V f P f

A problemIf a gas occupies 24 mL at 115 kPa

and 13o C, what volume will it occupy at 101 kPa and 0o C?

24 mL (115kPa)/286 K = V (101kPa)/273 K

V = 26 mL (don’t forget to convert temp to K)
