13.1 Section Assessment3. Briefly describe the assumptions of kinetic theory as applied to gases.

Kinetic theory imagines that gases are made of tiny particles (atoms &/or molecules) that move perpetually, randomly, and quickly. The theory assumes that collisions between particles are perfectly elastic.

The book uses the word “constant”. I don’t like it. I prefer the word “perpetual”. Any idea why? Anybody? Anybody? Well, I’ll tell ya . . .

Gas molecules never stop moving, but the word “constant” sort of implies that their motion does not change. Gas molecules change speed every time they collide. Collisions with other molecules or with other objects cause not only changes in direction (“random” motion), but also changes in speed.

13.1 Section Assessment4. Use kinetic theory to explain what causes gas pressure.

According to kinetic theory, gases are made of molecules (or lonely atoms) that are always flying around, bashing into things. It is all these little tiny collisions that results in gas pressure.

13.1 Section Assessment5. How is the Kelvin temperature of a substance related to the average kinetic energy of its particles?

Kelvin temperature is a direct measurement of the average molecular kinetic energy of a material.

KE = ½ mv2 In this equation, KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, and v = speed.

Imagine a cup of water. Even if all the water in the cup is at the same temperature, let’s say 294 K (21oC), that doesn’t mean that the molecules are all traveling at the same speed. Some are traveling considerably faster than average, some are traveling considerably slower than average, while most of the molecules are traveling very close to average. Heat the water up to a higher temperature (let’s say 300 K), and, on the average, the molecules will speed up, but there will still be a variety of speeds.

13.1 Section Assessment6. Convert the following pressures to kilopascals.

a. 0.95 atm

This is a unit conversion problem, so you’re going to need to put this initial amount into the form of a fraction.

As always, you’ll need to multiply it by a conversion fraction.

We want to get rid of the atm and replace it with kPa, so . . .

13.1 Section Assessment7. A cylinder of oxygen gas is cooled from 300 K (27oC) down to 150 K (-123oC). By what factor does the average kinetic energy of the oxygen molecules decrease?

Temperature, when measured in Kelvins, is a direct measurement of the average molecular kinetic energy of a body of matter. Therefore, if the Kelvin temperature gets cut in half . . . . . . the average kinetic energy of the oxygen molecules is also cut in half.

CAUTION! Although KE is cut in half, and KE does depend upon speed, that does not mean that average speed is cut in half.

KE = ½ mv2

Note that the speed (v) is squared. That means that if KE is cut in half, v2 is cut in half, not v. If v2 is cut in half, then v, which is the square root of v2, is only divided by the square root of 2 (about 1.41 or so), not by 2 itself.

13.2 Section Assessment8. What factors help determine the physical properties of liquids?

Such physical properties as density, freezing point, boiling point, viscosity, and others, are determined largely by . . . . . . the forces between molecules.

One key example of this is the electrical attraction between the positive regions of one molecule and the negative regions of another molecule. Opposites attract, so if there are significant charges on molecules, this will result in stronger intermolecular forces, resulting in higher freezing and boiling points.

13.2 Section Assessment9. In terms of kinetic energy, explain how a molecule in a liquid evaporates.

Liquid molecules can’t hold onto each other if they’re moving too fast. In other words, if a liquid molecule has enough kinetic energy, it can break free of the bonds that make it stick to neighboring molecules, allowing it to fly free into the air.

In order for a molecule to evaporate, its neighbors must smack it hard enough for it to overcome the forces that attract the molecule to its neighbors. This is hard work, and requires energy. Since the main kind of energy molecules have is their motion (kinetic energy), a molecule’s neighbors have to sacrifice some of their motion to provide the energy required to bat their buddy out of the park. If a molecule’s neighbors sacrifice their motion energy, they slow down. When molecules in a material slow down, the material gets colder. Evaporation is endothermic.

13.2 Section Assessment10. A liquid is in a closed container and has a constant vapor pressure. What is the relationship between the rate of evaporation of the liquid and the rate of condensation of the vapor in the container?

If vapor pressure is constant, then all opposite processes must be equal. If opposite processes are equal, then their effects cancel each other out, and nothing changes.

The two processes that add or subtract vapor from the airspace in a container are evaporation (add) and condensation (subtract).

If vapor pressure is constant, then the rate of evaporation must equal the rate of condensation, its opposite.

13.2 Section Assessment11. What condition must exist for a liquid to boil?

The teacher’s edition of the textbook says, “Particles throughout the liquid must have enough energy to vaporize.”

Who has two thumbs and doesn’t like that answer?

The book’s answer sort of insinuates that every molecule in the liquid has enough energy to vaporize. I beg to disagree. Even in a hot liquid, there are some slow molecules. Molecules have to have a certain minimum speed to break away from each other, so even in boiling water, there are some molecules that are traveling too slow to escape from their attractive neighbors.

Page 15: Phc 13 Section Assessment Answers DRB

13.2 Section Assessment11. What condition must exist for a liquid to boil?

The teacher’s edition of the textbook says, “Particles throughout the liquid must have enough energy to vaporize.”

The definition of “boiling point”, as I understand it, is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals atmospheric pressure.

Therefore, I would say that in order to boil, a liquid must be so hot that its vapor pressure equals local air pressure.

At sea level on Earth on a typical day, air pressure = 101.3 kPa. Water has a vapor pressure of 101.3 kPa when its temperature is 100oC, so that’s how hot water needs to get to boil (at 101.3 kPa).

Under those conditions, even if the boiling water were surrounded by pure water vapor, instead of somewhat watery air, the water vapor could still only condense just as fast as the water vaporized.

13.2 Section Assessment12. Use Figure 13.9 to determine the boiling point of each liquid.

a. ethanoic acid at 27 kPa

b. chloroform at 80 kPa

c. ethanol at 50 kPa

boils at 76oC

boils at 52oC

boils at 62oC

Page 17: Phc 13 Section Assessment Answers DRB

13.2 Section Assessment13. Explain why the boiling point of a liquid varies with atmospheric pressure.

“Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure. If the atmospheric pressure changes, the boiling point will change.”

To have a higher vapor pressure, a liquid must be hotter. In other words, heating a liquid makes its molecules fly into the air faster.

It may seem odd to use pressure units as a way to say how quickly molecules are vaporizing, but it is done. Just imagine that if the molecules flying out of a body of water were to hit a surface on the way out, they’d exert pressure on the surface. If molecules are flying into the air faster, there will be more collisions, and, therefore, more pressure.

Page 18: Phc 13 Section Assessment Answers DRB

13.2 Section Assessment14. Explain how evaporation lowers the temperature of a liquid.

The first molecules to leave a liquid and fly into the air are the fastest ones. (The slower ones can’t break away from their attractive neighbors.)

Temperature is average molecular kinetic energy. Therefore, when the fastest molecules leave, this causes the average temperature of the remaining liquid molecules to decrease. This, in turn, makes the temperature go down.

There is also the very important consideration that whenever an object moves away from something it’s attracted to (like its fellow liquid molecules), it’s going to slow down as it moves away, just as a thrown ball slows down as it rises into the sky.
