(c) Avogardo's Law: Equal volume of all gases under same conditions of temperature & pressure contain equal no of molecules. V = Kn But n = (m = mass, M = Molar gas) V = = Kd d density => density of gas is directly proportional to its molar mass.
III. Ideal Gas Equation: ![]() Volume of constant K depends only upon amount of gas taken. If n is no. of moles of gas taken.
R Universal gas constant. = nR PV = nRT Ideal Equation.Derivation: According to Boyles law at constant T ................................................................ (1)According Charle's law V T at constant P ................................................................ (2) According to Avogardo's law V n at constant T & P ................................................................ (3) Combing (1), (2) & (3) x T x n => PV = nRT K ....... Ideal Gas Equation (in terms of density): If M is mass of gas in gm & M is molar mass of gas, then n = PV = RT = RT P = Volume of Gas constant (R): R = = 0.082 L atm K-1 mol-1 In SI unit R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1 In terms of calori e R = = 1.987 Cal K-1 mol-1>Illustration: Temperature at foot of mountain is 300C & pressure is 760 mm whereas at top of mountain there are 00C & 710 mm. Compose densities at top & bottom of mountain. Ans: d = ![]() ![]() If two or more unreaching gases are enclosed in a vessel, total pressure exerted by gaseous mixture is equal to sum of all partial pressures that eact gas would exert when present alone in same vessel at vessel temperature.
Applications: (i) In determination of pressure of dry gas e:
Dumb Question: What is equation tension ? Ans: Pressure exerted by water vapours in moist gas. (ii) In calculation of partial pressure: PV = nRT PA = nB PB = nB![]() PA & PB Partial pressure. By Dalton's law Total pressure, P = PA + PB + PC + ................... = (nA + nB + nC + ..................) = xA(mol.Fraction of A)
Question: 270C & 746.5 mm pressure. Calculate volume of gas at 00C & 760 mm pressure (Aq. tension at 270C is 26.5 mm). Ans: [Dumb question: Why there is no ag. tension at 00C ? Ans: At 00C, there is no water vapours. So, no, ag. tension at 00C.] Initial Condition Final condition V1 = 38 ml V2 = ? P1 = 746.5 - 26.5 P2 = 760 mm = 720 mm T1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K T2 = 0 + 273 = 273 K By gas equation ![]() V2 = 32.76 ml. Illustration: A gaseous mix contains 56g N2, 44g CO2 & 16g CH4. Total pressure of mix is 720 mm Hq. What is partial pressure of CH4 ? Ans: nN2 = 56/28 = 2 nCO2 = 44/44 = 1 nCH4 = 16/16 = 1 nTotal = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 x Total pressure= 1/4 x 720 = 180 mm. Diffusion: Spreading of molecules of a gas throughout available space. Sffusion: In this process gas under pressure escapes out of fine hole. At constant temperature & pressure, rates of diffusion of different gases are inversely proportional to square root of their densities. ![]() Rate of diffusion/effusion = ![]()
![]() Note: If pressure is different of two gases then greater pressure, greater is no. of molecules hitting per unit area, greater is rate of diffusion. ![]() r1 = v1/t r2 = v2/t v1 Volume diffused of I gas.v2 Volume diffused of II gas.
Time ia constant for two gases. Volume of two gases is constant.Question: 200 c,, HCl gas & NH3 are allowed to enter. At what distance NH4Cl will Ist appear ? Ans: By Graham's law of diffusion ![]() Thus, NH3 travels 1.465 times faster than HCl. In other words. Since area of x-section is square, NH3 will travel 1.465 cm in same time in which HCl travel 1 cm. Length of tube = 200 cm Distance travelled in tube by NH3 = x Total distance x 200 = 118.9 cm So, NH4Cl will Ist appear at distance of 118.9 cm from NH3 and or 81.1 cm from HCl end. |
