11.1 GAS PROPERTIES
In Chemistry, we will consider ALL GASES to be ____________________.

2. Gas particles are much ____________________ than the distances between them.
a. almost all the volume is _____________ ____________
b. explains high compressibility
3. Gas particles are in _______________ _____________ motion.
a. particles move in _________________ ____________ until collision
b. explains why gases __________________ any container
4. No __________________energy is lost when gas particles collide with each other or the walls of their container.
5. All gases have the _______________________ average kinetic energy at a given ________________________.
Gases and Increasing Temperature
When gases are heated, kinetic energy ___________________..
When a gas has _______________ kinetic energy, its particles push harder on the container or surroundings.
If the container can expand, the gas _______________will increase.
o A rubber balloon
If the container cannot expand, gas _______________ will increase.
o A rigid container, like a glass jar.
Avogadro’s Law – two different gases of equal volume at the __________________ pressure and temperature have
equal numbers of _______________________, _________________ and _____________ , regardless of the identity of
either gas. So, gas particles, when under the same sets of physical conditions, will all behave the same way.

We learned in the stoichiometry unit that 1 mole of ANY gas at standard temperature and pressure contains
________L of gas.
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
In a ___________________ of gases, the _____________pressure exerted by the mixture of gases is equal to the
____________of the partial pressure of each gas.
Example – Air contains N2, O2, H2O, Ar, CO2, the sum of which makes up the air pressure around us at any time.
At sea level, the air pressure is 101.3 kPA, but air is not a pure gas, it is a mixture of the above gases along with a few
other trace gases.
N2 + O2 + H2O + Ar + CO2 = Air 78.1 kPa + 20.9kPa + 1.28kPa + 0.97kPa + 0.05kPa = 101.3kPa
Ptotal = PGas 1 + PGas 2 + PGas3 …

4. Number of Moles (_____)
_____________________of gas present, in _______________
if amount is given in grams, we will ______________ to moles
STP = standard temperature and pressure
o Temperature: 0°C = 273K

We can use the ________________________ that describe a gas to find unknown properties of an _____________ gas.
Remember…
Pressure (P) Temperature (T) Volume (V) Moles (n) All calculations are done using KELVIN temperatures!
Q: What is R? – R is the ideal gas _______________________________. There are ideal gas constants for pressure in
kPa, atm, and mmHg. .

11.3 COMBINED GAS LAWS AND BOYLES LAW Combined Gas Law - states the relationship among pressure, volume, and temperature of a fixed amount of a gas under
_________ sets of conditions.
We are given 5 of 6 values, so we can calculate the missing value.
We MUST use Kelvin for temperature
Example 1 – A gas at 155 kPa and 25.0C occupies a container with an initial volume of 1.00 L. By changing the volume,
the pressure of the gas increases to 605 kPa as the temperature is raised to 125C . What is the new volume?
Practice 1 – A 5.00 L air sample at a temperature of –50.0C has a pressure of 1.056 atm. What will be the new pressure
if the temperature is raised to 102C and the volume expands to 7.00 L?
Practice 2 – A 6.000 L sample of air has a pressure of 757.6 kPa. What volume will it occupy at 187.5 kPa if the
temperature is held constant at 273 K?
