  1. Chapter 6 Gases 6.1 Properties of Gases 6.2 Gas Pressure

  2. Kinetic Theory of Gases A gas consists of small particles that • move rapidly in straight lines. • have essentially no attractive (or repulsive) forces. • are very far apart. • have very small volumes compared to the volume of the container they occupy. • have kinetic energies that increase with an increase in temperature.

  3. Properties That Describe a Gas Gases are described in terms of four properties: pressure (P), volume(V), temperature(T), and amount(n).

  4. Gas Pressure Gas pressure • is described as a force acting on a specific area. Pressure (P) = Force Area • Has units of atm, mm Hg, torr, lb/in.2 and kilopascals(kPa). 1 atm = 760 mm Hg (exact) 1 atm = 760 torr 1 atm = 14.7 lb/in.2 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

  5. Learning Check A. What is 475 mm Hg expressed in atm? 1) 475 atm 2) 0.625 atm 3) 3.61 x 105 atm B. The pressure in a tire is 2.00 atm. What is this pressure in mm Hg? 1) 2.00 mm Hg 2) 1520 mm Hg 3) 22 300 mm Hg

  6. Solution A. What is 475 mm Hg expressed in atm? 2) 0.625 atm 475 mm Hg x 1 atm = 0.625 atm 760 mm Hg B. The pressure of a tire is measured as 2.00 atm. What is this pressure in mm Hg? 2) 1520 mm Hg 2.00 atm x 760 mm Hg = 1520 mm Hg 1 atm

  7. Atmospheric Pressure Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by a column of air from the top of the atmosphere to the surface of the Earth.

  8. Altitude and Atmospheric Pressure Atmospheric pressure • is about 1 atmosphere at sea level. • depends on the altitude and the weather. • is lower at high altitudes where the density of air is less. • is higher on a rainy day than on a sunny day.

  9. Barometer A barometer • measures the pressure exerted by the gases in the atmosphere. • indicates atmospheric pressure as the height in mm of the mercury column.

  10. Learning Check A. The downward pressure of the Hg in a barometer is _____ than (as) the pressure of the atmosphere. 1) greater 2) less 3) the same B. A water barometer is 13.6 times taller than a Hg barometer (DHg = 13.6 g/mL) because 1) H2O is less dense than mercury. 2) H2O is heavier than mercury. 3) air is more dense than H2O.

  11. Solution A.The downward pressure of the Hg in a barometer is 3) the same (as) the pressure of the atmosphere. B. A water barometer is 13.6 times taller than a Hg barometer (DHg = 13.6 g/mL) because 1) H2O is less dense than mercury.
