Gases
• Gas is one of the three fundamental states of matter, with
distinctly different properties from liquid and solid.
• A puregas may be made up of individual atoms, elemental
molecules made from one type of atom, or compound molecules
made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).
• A gas mixture, such as air, contains a variety of pure gases.
• What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast
separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually
makes a colorless gas invisible to the human observer.
Properties of Gases
•Gases are described as not having a
definite shape and volume, in contrast to
solids and liquids.
•They have much lower density compared
to other phases.
1. Gases have no definite shape and volume. Hence, it assumes the
volume and shape of the containers.
2. Gases have very low densities.
3. Gases can exert pressure and is measured in gauge (tire
pressure) or millimeter (barometer).
4. Gases diffuses easily.
5. Gases expand when heated.
6. Gases are the most compressible of the state of matter.
7. At absolute temperature, the average Kinetic Energy of the
molecules of ALL gases are the same in 0 K (absolute zero),
gases have no energy and therefore are not in motion.
Kinetic Molecular
Theory of Gases
Kinetic Molecular Theory
•The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) of
gases describes the nature of gases and
the behavior of its particles.
•Any gas behaving according to Kinetic
Molecular Theory is called “ideal” or
“perfect gas”.
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
1. The volume occupied by the individual particles of a gas is negligible
compared to the volume of the gas itself.
2. The particles of an ideal gas exert no attractive forces on each other
or on their surroundings.
3. Gas particles are in a constant state of random motion and move in
straight lines until they collide with another body.
4. The collisions exhibited by gas particles are completely elastic; when
two molecules collide, total kinetic energy is conserved.
5. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional
to absolute temperature only; this implies that all molecular motion
ceases if the temperature is reduced to absolute zero.
Variables affecting the
behavior of Gases
Pressure (P)
• Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force exerted on
a unit area.
• The mathematical expression P=F/A defines the
pressure (P) in terms of force (F) acting on an area (A).
• Pressure is commonly measured using a barometer or
manometer.
• A barometer measures atmospheric pressure while a
manometer or pressure gauge measures pressure in a
closed system.
 • The pressure of a gas expressed in different units, among
which are atmosphere (atm), Torr, Millimeter Mercury
(mmHg), Pascal (Pa), Pounds per Square inch (psi), and
kilo Pascal (kPa).

Temperature (T)
• Temperature is the property of matter which reflects the quantity
of energy of motion of the component particles.
• It is a comparative measure of how hot or cold a material is.
• The coldest theoretical temperature is called absolute zero. It is
the temperature where the thermal motion of particles is at its
minimum (not the same as motionless).
• Absolute zero is 0 K on the Kelvin scale, −273.15 C on the
Celsius scale, and −459.67 F on the Fahrenheit scale.
• The instrument used to measure temperature is a thermometer.
Volume (V)
• Itis the space that a specific substance occupies.
• Since a gas completely fill its container, the volume
of the gas is equal to the volume of its container.
• It is expressed in different units like Liter (L),
milliliter (mL), cubic centimeters (cm3), cubic
meter (m3), dm3 etc.
Number of moles (n)
•This is the quantity of gas which is
expressed in moles.
• To differentiate it from a previous value
also the same name, its unit is given a
symbol of n.
Standard Temperature and Pressure
• Incalculations involving gas laws, the values of pressure
and temperature are sometimes not stated, meaning the
problem statement will just indicate that the condition of
the gas involved is at STP.
• When a gas is at standard temperature and pressure
(STP), it means that the gas involve in the calculation
has a pressure of 1 atm and is in absolute temperature
which is 273 K.
• The values of STP may vary depending on the required
unit in the problem
Gas Laws
Gas Laws
• Gas laws are scientific laws derived from observation and
experimentation on the properties and behavior of gases
involving the Pressure, Volume, Temperature, and
Number of Moles.
• The principles of these laws are based on how these
variables affect the properties and behavior of gases.
• Since we live in a sea of gas, these gas laws will help us
better understand on how to deal with different activities
and phenomena where gases are involved.
 Boyle’s Law
Pressure and Volume are
inversely proportional at a
constant temperature of a gas in
a closed system
 Boyle’s Law
• Inmid-1600s, an Irish Scientist Robert
Boyle studied the pressure and volume
relationship of a confined gas held at
constant temperature.
• Hestudied the effects of pressure to the
volume of gas in the sealed end of the tube
by adding mercury on the open end of the
tube.
Boyle's Law states that the pressure (P) of a gas is
inversely proportional to its volume (V) when T and n are
constant.

 Charles’ Law
Temperature is directly proportional
to the volume it occupies if the
pressure and mass (amount of gas)
remain constant in a closed
container.
 Charles’ Law
• Inthe 1800’s, another gas law was
established in an effort to improve the
design of the hot air balloons.
• Frenchscientist Jacques Charles, together
with Gay-Lussac, discovered the volume-
temperature relationship of gases at a
constant pressure.
 V∝T
Charles’ Law states that the volume of a fixed amount of
gas maintained at constant pressure is directly
proportional to absolute temperature of the gas.

 Gay-Lussac’s Law

The pressure of a gas is directly

proportional to its Kelvin
Temperature at constant volume and
amount of gas
 Gay-Lussac’s Law
• The Gay-Lussac’s Law was named after French
chemist and physicist Joseph Luis Gay-Lussac,
one of the pioneers in the study of the behavior of
gases.
• In his investigation, he discovered that all gases
expand equally over temperature range.
• Increasing the temperature of a gas increases its
average kinetic energy causing the particles to
move faster.
• This increases the number of collisions between
the gas particles, and therefore increase the
pressure of the gas.
 P∝T
Gay-Lussac’s Law states that the pressure of a fixed
amount of gas maintained at constant volume is directly
proportional to absolute temperature of the gas.

• Amedeo Avogadro was an Italian mathematical
physicist who is well-known for the Avogadro’s
number which is now a fundamental constant in
physical science.
• This law states that the volume (V) of a sample of
gas is directly proportional to the number of moles
(n) in the sample at constant temperature (T) and
pressure (P).
• As more gas particle are introduced in a container,
the frequency of their collision increases. Thus,
the gas forces the container to expand until the
pressure inside the container becomes the same as
 V∝n

volume of 22.4 L, which
is called its molar

Ideal Gas Equation
• The Ideal Gas Equation describes the relationship among four
variables P, V, T and n.
• An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas whose pressure-volume-
temperature behavior can be completely accounted for by the
ideal gas equations.
• Anideal gas is a theoretical gas, which satisfies the
assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory. Under ordinary
conditions, most gases conform well with the ideal gas
equation. However, deviation occur under extreme temperature
and pressure. The ideal gas law is mathematically stated as
 𝑃𝑉 =𝑛𝑅𝑇
The ideal gas equation provides a valuable model of the
relations between volume, pressure, temperature and
number of particles in a gas.

John Dalton established the Law of Partial Pressures in 1801, which states that the
total pressure of a gas mixture is only a sum of the partial pressures of the
component gases. Mathematically, it can be written as

Where PA, PB, PC… are the partial pressures of gases A, B, C…

For example, if there are three gases, below are their working formulas.
DALTON’S LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURES
MOLE FRACTION, X
This is the number of moles of a specific substance in a mixture
divided by the total number of moles of all substances present in
the mixture.
DALTON’S LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURES
Using the mole fraction concept and combining PA and PTotal
equations, we get:

The pressure of a gas in a mixture of gases is the product of its

mole fraction and the total pressure of the mixture.
