The Ideal Gas Law: Objectives

The document discusses the ideal gas law and its relationships between pressure, volume, temperature, and number of particles of an ideal gas. It defines an ideal gas as one that follows all gas laws and explains how the ideal gas law equation (PV=nRT) can be used to determine the number of moles (n) of a gas present and relate that to mass. Examples are provided for how to apply the ideal gas law equation to solve stoichiometry problems.

The Ideal Gas Law

Objectives:
7.0 Explain the behavior of ideal gases in terms of
pressure, volume, temperature, and number of particles
using Charles's law, Boyle's law, Gay-Lussac's law, the
combined gas law, and the ideal gas law.
6.0 Solve stoichiometric problems involving
relationships among the number of particles, moles,
and masses of reactants and products in a chemical
reaction.
Intro
 What will happen to the pressure in a tire as
air is added, if the volume and temperature of
the tire do not change?
 So the amount of gas (moles) and the pressure
both change.
 Remember:
Combined Gas Law: P1V1 = P2V2
T1 T2
Ideal Gas Law
 Since the ratio remains the same, then we
can say it is constant. We call the constant k.
 k is a constant based on the amount of gas (n)
present, where k = nR. (R is an
experimentally determined constant, called
the ideal gas constant, and equal to
0.0821 L-atm/mol-K.
 Ideal gas law equation: PV=nRT
What is an Ideal Gas?
 A gas that follows all the gas laws
 When do gases not follow the gas laws?:
1. Gases tend not to behave “ideally” under very
high pressures and low temperatures, as there
is more inter-particular interactions.
2. Also, polar particles (like water vapor) are
more attracted to each other because of their
partial charges.
3. Large particles interact more.
Applying the Ideal Gas Law
 PV=nRT:
 What is n?
 How can n be used to find the mass of a gas
present?
 From stoichiometry, what else can be
determined from n? How??????
 Substitutions in the ideal gas equation:
 n = mass (m)/molar mass (M)
 Rearrange the formula to solve for M.
 Density (D) = ?????

practice and make sure you know how to solve
problems.
