Ideal Gas Equation
Boyle's Law
When gas is kept at constant temperature its
pressure is inversely proportional to its volume.
Mathematically, Boyle's law can be stated as
EXAMPLE1
A balloon with a volume of 2.0 L is filled with a gas at 3 atmospheres. If the pressure is reduced to 0.5
atmospheres without a change in temperature, what would be the volume of the balloon?
solution
P i V i = P f V f V f = P i V i /P f V i = 2.0 L
P i = 3 atm P f = 0.5 atm
V f = (2.0 L)(3 atm)/(0.5 atm)
V f = 6 L/0.5 V f = 12 L
Charle's Law
When the pressure of the gas kept constant
the volume directly proportional to the
temperature.
Example2 :
In one experiment the initial volume and temperature of the gas is 0.5L, 50 C. Assuming the pressure and moles of gas is
constant, what is the volume of the gas if the temperature is increased to 80 0C? Let T1 and V1 be the initial temperature
and volume and let T2, V2 be the final temperature and volume
.
Then according to Charles law
Gay-Lussac's Law
When the volume of the gas kept constant
the pressure directly proportional to the
temperature.
Example

?
Solution
:
change 25.0°C to 298.0 K and remember that standard pressure in kPa is 101.325

The ideal gas law
Where n is the number of moles, R is a constant for a specific gas, which can be determined
experimentally, and T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin
The ideal gas law can be expressed in terms of the total number of molecules N where N = nNA
Example (3)
An ideal gas occupies a volume of 100cm3 at 20oC and
a pressure of 100Pa. Determine the number of moles of gas in the container.
Solution
PV = nRT
Example (4)
Pure helium gas is admitted into a tank containing a movable piston. The initial volume, pressure and temperature of the gas are 15´10-3m3, 200kPa
and 300K respectively. If the volume is decreased to 12´10-3m3 and the pressure is increased to
350KPa, find the final temperature of the gas.
Example (5):
6.2
liters of an ideal gas are contained at 3.0 atm and 37 °C. How
many moles of this gas are present?
Solution
PV = nRT where
n = number of moles of gas
R = gas constant = 0.08 L atm / mol K T = absolute temperature in Kelvin T = 37 °C + 273
T = 310 K n = PV / RT
Heat and the first law of thermodynamics
Heat
The word of ''heat flow'' is an energy
transfer that take place as a consequence of
temperature difference only.
Unit of Heat
The unit of heat is ''calorie'' which is defined as the amount of heat (energy) required to raise the temperature of 1g of water from 14.5oC to 15.5oC.
Heat capacity and specific heat
The
heat capacity
is defined as the
amount of heat energy needed to raise
The
specific heat capacity
is defined
as the amount of heat energy needed to
raise 1kg of sample by 1 degree Celsius.
Al 900J/kg.Co
wood 1700J/kg.Co
Cu 387J/kg.Co
glass 837J/kg.Co
Ag 129J/kg.Co
water 4186J/kg.Co
Example(6)
A 0.05kg of metal is heated to 200oC and then
dropped into a beaker containing 0.4kg of water initially at 20oC. If the final equilibrium
temperature of the mixed system is 22.4oC find the
specific heat of the metal. What is the total heat transferred to water in cooling the metal?
Solution
Heat lost by the metal = heat gained by water mx cx (Ti-Tf) = mw cw (Tf-Ti)
(0.05Kg) cx (200oC-22.4oC) = (0.4kg)(4186J/kg.Co)(22.4oC-20oC)
cx = 453J/kg.Co

The first law of thermodynamics
change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat supplied to the system, minus the amount of work performed by the system on its surroundings. The law can also be stated: The energy
of an isolated system is constant .
Q-W is always constant.
Q-W is called the change in the internal energy of the system

One gram of water occupies a volume of 1cm3 at
atmospheric pressure. When this amount of water is boiled,
it becomes 1671cm3 of steam. Calculate the change in
internal energy for this process.

DU = Q - W
Q = m Lv = (1x10-3kg) x (2.26x106J/kg) = 2260J
W = P (Vf - Vi) = (1.013x105) x [(1671-1)10-6] = 169J
