5.19 Boyle's Law

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

p1V1 = p2V2

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

V1 = Volume at the beginning [m3 or cm3]

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

V2 = Volume at the end [m3 or cm3]

(Note: can use any units for V and p as long as they are the same at the beginning and end)

5.19 Experiment

5.18

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

· 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)

5.17


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


· 5.17 describe the qualitative relationship between pressure and Kelvin temperature for a gas in a sealed container

: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gas-properties

· Put 5 pumps of gas in
· Set volume as the Constant Parameter
· Heat to 1000K
· Watch what happens to the Pressure

Conclusion
· If you increase the temperature, you increase the pressure

5.14 describe the Kelvin scale of temperature and be able to convert between the Kelvin and Celsius scales

Converting Centigrade to Kelvin
TK = ToC + 273

Converting Kelvin to Centigrade
ToC = TK - 273

TK = Temperature in Kelvin [K]

ToC = Temperature in Degrees Centigrade [oC]


· Collins p.118

[cid:image001.jpg@01CC9EF1.5FFE25A0]

1. T absolute zero (- 273 degrees centigrade) is when kinetic energy is at zero and the particles are not moving, you cannot go past this point as the particles cannot lose anymore energy as there is non left. 2. a) 20°C = 293K, ii) 150°C = 423K, iii) 1000°C = 1273°C
b) 300K = 27°C ii)650K= 377°C iii) 1000K = 727°C

· 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

· They appear to be jiggling about
· Why?


· (Don't worry if you can't work this out straight away - Albert Einstein was the bloke who eventually explained what's happening here!)

5.11 Questions

1. Draw the path of a smoke particle in air (3 marks) Away from the air ----> they are pushed in whatever the direction the air particles move 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 of smoke particles is the random movement of particles, and this provides eidenc as The smoke particle has a jerky motion.
As (invisible) air molecules collide with the smoke particle,
they push it about in different directions at random.
3. What change would you expect to see in the movement of the smoke particles if the air was cooled down? Why? (2 marks)
the movement would slow down as the air particles had less kinetic energy.

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

02 November 2011

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

1. How do the particles create a pressure?
By bouncing off the walls of their container.
2. If you increase the temperature, how does the movement of the particles change?
the movement of particles gets faster
3. If you increase the temperature, how does the number of collisions per second change?
it increases
4. If you increase the temperature, what does this do to the pressure?
it increases the pressure
