Presentation Transcript

  1. Announcements • The last exam and second project presentations will be during the final exam period: Monday December 10 @ 10:30am. • Homework: Chapter 8 # 29, 30, 31 & 33 +Supplemental Problems • If you are interested, this Saturday is the Leonids meteor shower. The observational astronomy and astrophysics classes will be at the APSU observatory on the APSU Farm starting around 7:30pm Saturday night. Dress warm and bring a lounge chair

  2. Atmospheres and Gas Laws

  3. On a microscopic level, T is the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules

  4. For a constant temperature and quantity of gas, the product of the volume and pressure is constant

  5. For a fixed pressure and quantity of gas, the volume and temperature are related

  6. Combining the two gives the Ideal Gas Law n is the quantity of gas (moles or number of molecules) and R is the Universal Gas Constant whose value depends on the units used in the other quantities(8.31 J/(mole-K), 0.0821 L-atm/(mole-K)

  7. Example A cylinder contains 20L of oxygen at 20°C and 15atm. The temperature is raised to 35°C and the volume is reduced to 8.5L. What is the final pressure of the gas?

  8. Example Solution 1 The first thing to do is some algebra: put the Gas Law into a ratio form with the constant on one side and everything else on the other side

  9. Example Solution 2 Cancel anything that stays the same and then solve for what you are wanting to find. In this case, only the amount of gas (n) stays the same.

  10. Example Solution

  11. Example for you • The best laboratory vacuum is about 1.00x10-18 atm. How many gas molecules are there per cubic centimeter at 293K? • 1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 molecules

  12. Example Solution Since we want the number of atoms in a cubic centimeter, the volume is 1.00 cm3 = 1.00 mL. Use R = 0.0821(L-atm)/(mole-Kelvin) Since you can’t have a fraction of an atom, truncate to 25 atoms per cubic centimeter.

  13. How much does air weigh? The pressure of any fluid is related to the density of the fluid, the height of the column and the acceleration due to gravity

  14. Pressure equals density times gravity times height ris the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the column of fluid above. If the density isn’t constant such as in an atmosphere, then the pressure becomes an integral

  15. Example for you • A scuba diver dives to a depth of 50 m in water with a density of 1000 kg/m3. What pressure does he experience in Pa? • Same problem except the diver is in a water tank on Mars. gMars = 3.69 m/s2

  16. Example Solution The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 on Earth and Mars. If we find the gauge pressure (the pressure above atmospheric pressure) the only difference between Earth and Mars will be the acceleration due to gravity (“g”). On Mars g = 0.377gEarth so the pressure on Mars will be 37.7% that on Earth
