The atoms (molecules) of an ideal gas are infinitely small such that they never collide with each other. What will be the pressure of this gas if it is transferred to a 2.000 L bulb at the same temperature?ДЄ gas that obeys both BoyleвЂ™s Law and AvogadroвЂ™s law is an Ideal gas.

Standard pressures, however lead to a reasonable approximation for most gases.Д®xample: A sample of air occupies a volume of 450.0 mL at 20 в„ѓ and 1.00 bar (100 kPa). Note: This law is only truly valid at infinitely low pressures. He found that a sample of gas compresses if the external pressure applied to it increases and that the product PV is constant.Д«oyleвЂ™s law, stated in mathematical terms for a gas whose pressure and volume is measured at two different pressure/volume states at a constant temperature is then, 4.4: BoyleвЂ™s LawД«oyle measured the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a given sample of gas at fixed temperature.

Note that 13.6 g/mL is the density of Mercury. However, we happen to know the height of a column of mercury that the same air pressure would support (750 mm) therefore, letвЂ™s just equate the pressure of water and the pressure of mercury as follows.

We could look up the value for acceleration due to gravity and calculate that way. Where is the height of the column of liquid, is its density, is the area of the column and is the acceleration due to gravity. The density of water at that temperature is 0.997 g cm -3. Д®xample: What is the height of a column of water which can be supported by a pressure of exactly 1 bar (=100 kPa = 750.0 mmHg) at 25 в„ѓ? At STP, the pressure of an ideal gas is 750 mmHg. Hence, we some times take the short-cut way of expressing pressure as a height of a column of mercury that would be supported by the gas pressure being measured. , P = 100 kPa) will support a column of mercury of height 750.0 mm. By measuring the height of the column we have a direct measure of the air pressure. Thus, the pressure due to the weight of the column of mercury must be equal to the pressure of the air. So the pressure inside and outside the tube at the height of the surface must be equal and opposite that of the air pressure. The column of mercury of height, h, is supported by the air pressure.ДЄ standard rule in fluid dynamics states that the pressure of a liquid is constant at any given height. There are slight variances in real gases at normal conditions but not much.Д®xample: What is the Molar mass of a gas of which 2.641 g occupies 705.6 mL Pressures of GasesД¬onsider the following inverted tube filled with mercury such that its open end is immersed in a pool of mercury.Дiagram of inverted test tube in mercury. One mole of Gas at STP occupies 22.7 L ( ) Standard Temperatures and Pressures STP are defined to be This law explained Gay-Lussac Law that noted that volumes of gases reacting are related by small whole number ratios. 4.2: AvogadroвЂ™s LawДЄccording to Avogadro, equal volumes of different (ideal) gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules (moles) of the different gases. You will also be expected to be able to use these ideas and the equations within to solve problems both here in the Gas units but also later in other units of the course. You will be expected to know each of the gas laws presented here, the conditions under which they work and do not work. More advanced models are proposed to better describe gas behaviors under these conditions. Later in the unit, we will discover conditions under which the first gas laws do not predict the observed behavior. We will develop the Kinetic molecular theory, which gives us insight into the molecular level reasons that explain gas behaviors. The results of experimental observation and work are expressed here as вЂlawsвЂ™ and are useful models to help us predict gas behavior in the right circumstances. In this section, we will be exploring gas behavior.
