Presentation Transcript

  1. Objectives • To understand the relationship between laws and models (theories) • To understand the postulates of the kinetic molecular theory • To understand temperature • To learn how the kinetic molecular theory explains the gas laws • To describe the properties of real gases

  2. A. Laws and Models: A Review • Models are descriptions that allow us to think about a scientific phenomenon • A model can never be proved absolutely true. • A model is an approximation and is destined to be improved

  3. B. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases

  4. C. The Implications of the Kinetic Molecular Theory • Meaning of temperature – Kelvin temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the gas particles • Relationship between Pressure and Temperature – gas pressure increases as the temperature increases because the particles speed up • Relationship between Volume and Temperature – volume of a gas increases with temperature because the particles speed up and exert a higher pressure which causes the gas to expand (if it is allowed to)

  5. D. Real Gases • Gases do not behave ideally under conditions of high pressure and low temperature. • Why?

  6. D. Real Gases • At high pressure the intermolecular volume is decreased • Molecule volumes become important • Attractions become important • Gas Laws require modification
