Teaching Tips
Suggestions and Examples Misconceptions and Pitfalls
5.1 Supersonic Skydiving and the Risk of Decompression Some students may remember the jump. If not an internet search for news articles or videos may help. Some students do not realize that air is made of matter.
5.2 Pressure: The Result of Molecular Collisions Recognizing pressure as related to force will likely help most students. The difference can be explained by talking about snowshoes and ice skates.
Large numbers of people have experienced their ears “popping” in an airplane or upon another ascent in altitude.
Tornados, hurricanes, and cyclones are extreme examples of differential pressures in weather.
Blood pressure is an interesting alternative since the previous examples deal with gases. Barometers and manometers combine liquids and gases. The end of the tube can be open, under a vacuum, or filled with air. The outcomes are different and can be confusing.
5.3 The Simple Gas Laws: Boyle’s Law, Charles’s Law, and Avogadro’s Law The easiest example of Boyle’s law is a cylinder with a sliding piston. A plastic syringe works well as long as one has a convenient connection to a gauge.
Limited numbers of students will have personal experience with diving, though most students likely will have experience swimming underwater.
Charles’s law can be demonstrated using balloons and dry ice/acetone or liquid nitrogen.
Conceptual Connection 5.1 Boyle’s Law and Charles’s Law
Avogadro’s law can be demonstrated by producing a gas over water to show displacement. An interesting challenge question comes from burning a candle within a sealed container connected to a pressure gauge. Oxygen is consumed, but carbon dioxide is produced. Breathing at increased depths of water becomes more difficult but is possible even to substantial depths.
Hot-air and helium balloons rise because of decreased density compared with the surrounding air.
Some students memorize the different equations for initial and final states problems, but all of them can be derived easily from the ideal gas law.
In initial and final states problems with T, the ratio of the values must be in Kelvin and not in degrees Celsius.
5.4 The Ideal Gas Law A series of R values is possible with different units especially for pressure.
Common problems include using mixtures of unit conversions: °C to K, mL to L, mmHg to atm.

5.5 Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molar Volume, Density, and Molar Mass of a Gas Conceptual Connection 5.2 Molar Volume
Density can be calculated from molar volume and molar mass or from P, T and M.
Conceptual Connection 5.3 Density of a Gas Ideal gases have a common molar volume but not a common mass.
Standard temperature for gases is not the same standard as in thermochemistry and thermodynamics.
5.6 Mixtures of Gases and Partial Pressures The partial pressure of oxygen in air is important in physiology. Oxygen available in the lungs for transfer to the blood can be changed by a change in the total air pressure or by a change in the percent oxygen in air.
Conceptual Connection 5.4 Partial pressures
Partial pressure of oxygen plays a role in diving and in climbing at high altitude. Too little or too much can be dangerous.
The vapor pressure of water must be considered when collecting gases over water, a common laboratory technique. The solubility of gases in water is generally small except for CO2.
The vapor pressure of water is a function of temperature and is covered in more detail in Chapter 11. That gases behave ideally, independent of identity, gives rise to partial pressures.
The sum of the mole fractions is 1.
5.7 Gases in Chemical Reactions: Stoichiometry Revisited The ideal gas law is used to obtain moles rather than using mass or volume and concentration of an aqueous solution.
At the same pressure and temperature, the mole ratio from a balanced reaction is the same as the volume ratio for gaseous components.
At the same volume and temperature, the mole ratio from a balanced reaction is the same as the pressure ratio for gaseous components.
Conceptual Connection 5.5 Pressure and Number of Moles Stoichiometry problems involving gases are inherently the same as other stoichiometry problems. Gases simply present another means of obtaining moles of substances.

5.8 Kinetic Molecular Theory: A Model for Gases The physics in the kinetic molecular theory is remarkably simple given all of the behaviors it explains. The ideal gas law can be derived from the definition of pressure as force per unit area.
Two of the three assumptions in the kinetic molecular theory give rise to nonideal behavior.
Conceptual Connection 5.6 Kinetic Molecular Theory I
Conceptual Connection 5.7 Root Mean Square Velocity
Conceptual Connection 5.8 Kinetic Molecular Theory II One of the main uses of going through a derivation is pointing out that knowing where an equation comes from and the assumptions required to derive it gives clues concerning its range of applicability.
The analogy of billiard balls to atoms in an elastic collision is partially flawed since the balls lose some energy to friction with the table.
Students are likely to have difficulty with distributions of velocities within a collection of molecules.
5.9 Mean Free Path, Diffusion, and Effusion of Gases Diffusion is easy for students to understand, as they have experience with odors (especially bad ones) spreading throughout a room.
An analogy for diffusion is thermal equilibration, as they both are illustrations of the second law of thermodynamics. Most students are surprised by the high speeds of atoms and molecules at room temperature.

5.10 Real Gases: The Effects of Size and Intermolecular Forces Two of the three assumptions from the kinetic molecular theory break down and give rise to nonideal behavior.
Each of the effects can be demonstrated independently.
Conceptual Connection 5.9 Real Gases Why do we use the ideal gas law if we know it is “wrong”? For some gases under some conditions, the corrections are unnecessary.

Sort The problem gives a pressure in mmHg and asks you to find the equivalent in pascal. Given 110 mmHg
Find Pa
Strategize Since Table 5.1 does not have a direct conversion factor between mmHg and Pa, but does provide relationships between both of these units and atmospheres, you can convert to atm as an intermediate step. Conceptual Plan
mmHg atm Pa

1 atm 760 mmHg
101,325 Pa 1 atm (both from Table 5.1)
Solve Follow the conceptual plan to solve the problem. Begin with 110 mmHg and use the conversion factors to arrive at the pressure in Pa. Solution
Check The units (Pa) are correct. The magnitude of the answer (14,700) makes physical sense since the blood pressure is a fraction of one atm.

T(K) 25 °C 273 298 K
Check
The units (g/mol) are correct. The magnitude of the answer (46.0) seems to make sense for a gas. For example, it could be NO2.
Additional Problem for Total Pressure and Partial Pressures (Example 5.9) A 1.50-L mixture of helium, neon, and argon has a total pressure of 754 mmHg at 310 K. If the partial pressure of helium is 431 mmHg and partial pressure of neon is 211 mmHg, what mass of argon is present in the mixture?
Sort The problem gives you the partial pressures of two of the three components in a gas mixture, along with the total pressure, the volume, and the temperature, and asks you to find the mass of the third component.

Additional Problem for Gases in Chemical Reactions (Example 5.12) Methanol (CH3OH) can be synthesized by the reaction: CO(g) 2 H2(g) CH3OH(g) What volume (in liters) of methanol gas, measured at a temperature of 473 K and a pressure of 820 mmHg, is produced from 100.0 g of carbon monoxide CO?

Find the number of moles of carbon monoxide from its mass by using the molar mass.
Use the stoichiometric relationship from the balanced equation to find the number of moles of methanol formed from that quantity of carbon monoxide.
Substitute the moles of methanol, together with the pressure and temperature into the ideal gas law to find the volume of hydrogen. Conceptual Plan
g CO mol CO mol CH3OH
n (mol CH3OH), P, T Vmethanol
Relationships Used
PV nRT (ideal gas law)
1 mol CO : 1 mol CH3OH (from balanced equation)
molar mass CO 28.01 g

Convert the number of moles of carbon monoxide to moles of methanol.
Convert the pressure to atmospheres and use the ideal gas law to find the volume of methanol. Solution
3.570 mol CO 3.570 mol CH3OH
Check The units of the answer are correct. The magnitude makes sense. You start with about 3.5 moles of reactant. If the reaction was conducted at STP, you would expect about 80 L. Since the temperature is much higher than 298 K and the pressure is somewhat higher, the result should be greater.
Additional Problem for Molar Volume and Stoichiometry (Example 5.13) How many grams of water form when 2.41 L of oxygen gas at STP completely react with an appropriate amount of H2?
2 H2(g) O2(g) 2 H2O(g)
Sort You are given the volume of oxygen gas (a reactant) at STP and asked to determine the mass of water that forms upon complete reaction. Given 2.41 L O2
Find g H2O
Strategize Since the reaction occurs under standard conditions, you can convert directly from the volume (in L) of hydrogen gas to the amount in moles. Then use the stoichiometric relationship from the balanced equation to find the number of moles of water formed. Finally, use the molar mass of water to obtain the mass of water formed.
Conceptual Plan
L O2 mol O2 mol H2O g H2O
Relationships Used
1 mol 22.4 L (at STP)
1 mol O2 : 2 mol H2O (from balanced equation)
molar mass H2O 18.02 g/mol
Solve Follow the conceptual plan to solve the problem. Solution

Substitute the quantities into the equation.
Solution
T 100 °C 273 373 K
Check
The units of the answer (m/s) are correct, and the magnitude seems reasonable compared with the velocity previously calculated for 25 °C.
Additional Problem for Graham’s Law of Effusion (Example 5.15) An unknown gas effuses at a rate that is 0.578 times that of nitrogen gas at the same temperature. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas in g/mol.
