5.18 Gay-lussac's law

 5.18 Gay-lussac's law

·         5.18 use the relationship between the pressure and Kelvin temperature of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume:

                p1 / T1 = p2 / T2

p1 = Pressure at the beginning [kPa, bar or atm ]

T1 = Absolute temperature at the beginning [K]

p2 = Pressure at the end [kPa, bar or atm]

T2 = Absolute temperature at the end [K]


(Note: the units of temperature must be Kelvin, not oC!  The units of pressure can be any, as long as the same at the beginning and the end)

Cloud formation

·         Place a little water in the bottom of a 1½ litre plastic bottle

·         Squeeze a few times

·         Introduce a small amount of smoke

·         Squeeze and release several times

·         When you squeeze, the cloud disappears; when you release, the cloud reforms

 

 

Explanation

·         When the pressure increases the temperature increases and vica versa

·         The smoke particles are nucleating sites on which the water can condense

Collins, p.116

Image002

a.If we cool the gas in a rigid, sealed tin can, what happens to the pressure inside the can? (1 mark)

P1/T1 = P2/T2  

20+273= 293=    55+273=328

3/293 = P2/328

P2= (3 x 328) / 293 = 3.36 Bar

b.               Explain your answer to part a. by using the Kinetic Theory (4 marks)

When the temperature decrease, the kinetic energy decrease making the particles moving slower and colliding less, hitting the walls less frequently  therefore have less pressure.

<<Video - Egg sucked into a bottle by Guy-Lussac's Law.flv>>

 

 

 

Why do the eggs get sucked into the bottles?!

  

Explanation

·         The burning paper in the bottle heats the air in the bottle

·         When the egg gets placed on top, the oxygen supply in the bottle is rapidly depleted and the paper goes out

·         The bottle is sealed by the egg and now has a constant volume of gas inside

·         The hot gas in the bottle now starts to cool which reduces the pressure inside the bottle

·         The pressure outside the bottle remains unchanged and so there is now an unbalanced force on the egg which accelerates the egg into the bottle

 5.13 Starter 2

·         Use particle theory to explain why the gas in the balloon contracts

Explanation

·         The temperature of the gas inside the balloon decreases so the average speed of the particles decreases

·         Consequently the gas particles collide with the walls of the balloon with less force and less collisions per second

·         Because the walls of the container are flexible, the  volume decreases

5.11 Questions

1.   Draw the path of a smoke particle in air  (3 marks)

   Start

Finish

Image003


2.   Explain what is meant by Brownian Motion of smoke particles in air and how it provides evidence for air particles  (4 marks)

Brownian motion is the random motion of a particle. As for this ,the smoke particle has a random motion. As (invisible) air molecules collide with the smoke particle, they push it about in different directions at random.

Answer

         We can see the large smoke particles

         We can’t see the much smaller air particles

         But the smoke particles move when the air particles collide with them

         So the movement of the smoke particles is evidence for the existence of air particles

3.   What change would you expect to see in the movement of the smoke particles if the air was cooled down?  Why?  (2 marks)

Slow movement for the smoke particle because the (invisible) air particles have less kinetic which means less vibration so it would collide to the smoke particle less often.

Answer

         The smoke particles would move slower

         Because the air particles are moving slower and hitting them with less force

Questions

·         Why does the needle on the meter move when gas particles are introduced into the box?

·         What does the meter measure?

 

Answers

·         The gas particles collide with all of the walls of the container.  The wall on the right moves outwards and moves the needle.

·         Pressure.  The gas particles colliding with the walls makes a force on the walls.  The walls have a surface area so the quantity measured is pressure, p=F/A.

 

 

5.12+5.15 Questions

15:55

·         5.12 recall that molecules in a gas have a random motion and that they exert a force and hence a pressure on the walls of the container

·         5.15 understand that an increase in temperature results in an increase in the speed of gas molecules

Try the animation http://www.lon-capa.org/~mmp/kap10/cd283.htm

1.    How do the particles create a pressure?

The particles is moving quickly and colliding to the surface of the wall

2.    If you increase the temperature, how does the movement of the particles change?

The particles vibrate fasters

3.    If you increase the temperature, how does the number of collisions per second change?

Number of collisions increase

4.    If you increase the temperature, what does this do to the pressure?

Increase the Pressure

Image004

1a

·         Particles in a solid are strongly bonded to each other so their particles are held in a fixed, regular pattern and can not move

·         The bonds between particles in liquids and gases are weaker and therefore their particles can move relative to each other

 

1b

·         The particles in solids and liquids are closely packed and they are therefore incompressible

·         The particles in a gas are very widely spaced and the forces between them are very weak so they can spread out to fill their container

Image005

Boiling

·         Boiling occurs when you heat a liquid until the average energy of the particles is great enough for them to turn into a gas

·         Boiling occurs at a fixed temperature called the boiling point

·         Boiling occurs throughout a liquid

·         It is a fast process

·        

Image006

 

Evaporation

·         Evaporation occurs when a liquid is left open to the air

·         Only particles at the surface of the liquid that have enough energy can escape the liquid into the air

·         Evaporation occurs for a range of temperatures; high temperatures increase evaporation, low temperatures decrease evaporation

·         Evaporation only occurs from the surface of a liquid

·         It is a slower process

·         Because it removes the most energetic particles from a liquid the average energy of the remaining particles is decreased and the liquid cools down

·

Solid -----> Liquid = Melting             

Liquid----->Gas = evaporation/boiling

Gas-------->Liquid = Condensation

Liquid------> Solid = freezing

Solid -------->Gas = sublimation

 

·         5.7 understand that a substance can change state from solid to liquid by the process of melting

·         5.8 understand that a substance can change state from liquid to gas by the process of evaporation or boiling

·         Questions from Collins p.112

·         Answer in Bullet Points!

Image002

Q1 a)solid keeps their shape because all particles are packed tightly

b)solid and liquids have fixed volume because there are still some intermolecular force whereas in gases all the particles are separate

Image003

·         Evaporation occurs for a range of temperatures; high temperatures increase evaporation, low temperatures decrease evaporation

·         Boiling occurs when you heat a liquid until the average energy of the particles is great enough for them to turn into a gas.

·         Boiling occurs at a fixed temperature called the boiling point.
