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. Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education, Inc.
3
Properties That Describe a Gas
Gases are described in terms of four properties:
pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and amount (n).

Gas pressure
• is a force acting on a specific area.
Pressure (P) = force area
• has units of atm, mmHg, 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 Pa

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.

Altitude and Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric pressure
• is about 1 atmosphere at sea level.
• depends on the altitude and the weather.
• is lower at higher altitudes, where the density of air is less.
• is higher on a rainy day
than on a sunny day. Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education, Inc.

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.

Boyle’s Law
Boyle’s lawstates that
