CHAPTER-2 Gaseous State Gas is one state of matter. It has neither shape nor volume and has very much weaker molecular forces of attractions. The gaseous behaviour is more uniform and simple to understand. As gases are invisible, they are described through the use of four physical properties or macroscopic characteristics: Pressure, volume, number of particles (moles) and temperature. These four characteristics were repeatedly observed by scientists such as Robert Boyle, Jacques Charles, John Dalton, Joseph Gay-Lussac and Amedeo Avogadro for a variety of gases in various settings. Their detailed studies ultimately led to a mathematical relationship among these properties expressed by the ideal gas law. Gases are conveniently classified into two types a. Ideal gases b. Real gases, An ideal gas is one which obeys all gas laws under all conditions of temperature and pressure. The volume occupied by gas molecules is negligible when compar to the total volume of the container, There is no intermolecular force of attraction under all conditions, Real gas is one which obeys gas laws only at low pressure and high temperature Volume occupied by gas molecules and intermolecular force of attractions appreciable and the magnitude of each depends on temperature and pressure 0 and the nature of gas, 30 Scanned with CamScanner ell-Boltzmann distribution, i ies of th IL a the one nysicst James Clack sg This distrbuage® tistical distribution of Se distribution of ey ¥ell in 1859, on tae y°3!

It is very difficult toknow the individual velocities of molecules, One can only obtain a distribution of molecular velocities at a given temperature. Thus collision results in the redistribution of both energy and velocity. The speed will vary from zero to very high values. The velocity of molecule increases with temperature. Maxwell and Boltzmann distribution lawis helpful to understand the variation in molecular velocity, the different types of velocities, Maxwell and Boltzmann utilising probability considerations have shown thatthe actual distribution of molecular velocities depends on temperature and. molar mass of the gas.

Mean free path (A): ‘Thekinetic theory of gases, developed by James C. Maxwell and Lu attempts to predict how the molecules ina gas behave. A thekinetic molecular 8as theory is the mean free path. Mis the mean distance traveled by the gas molecule between any two successive collisions, It depends on the molecular size and concentration of gas molecules. the molecular size, more frequent would be the collisions and consequently will be the mean free path.

Collision frequency or collision number: . Molecules of a gas are constantly colliding with each other many times y,; the course of their movement. These collisions do not change the net Momentum of the colliding molecules but involve transfer of momentum and energy from one art to another part in the gas. Itcan be shown from kinetic considerations that the number of molecules With which a single molecule will collide per unit time is given by Z,=(2n0°C,,p) where C,, = average velocity, p = number density, ie Number of molecules per unit volume. o = molecular diameter. This expression gives the number of collisions suffered by single molecule Per unit time per unit volume of the gas. This is known as collision number (2). The total number of molecules colliding per unit time per unit volume of gas is given by (2n0°C,,9? ).

Many gases cay De put into a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure by simple cooling. ‘While few gases such as carbon dioxide, require high pressure as well. Liquefaction is useq for analysing the fundamental properties of gas molecules (intermolecular forces), for storage of gases, for example: LPG, and in refrigeration and air conditioning. In this case, the gas is liquefied in the condenser. Ammonia was the first such refrigerant, but it has been replaced by compounds derived from petroleum and halogens. Liquid oxygen is provided to hospitals for conversion to gas for patients suffering from breathing problems, and liquid nitrogen is used in the medical field for cryosurgery, and by inseminators to freeze semen. Liquefied chlorine is transported for eventual solution in water, after which it is used for water purification, sanitation of industrial waste, sewage and swimming pools, bleaching of pulp and textiles and manufacture of carbon tetrachloride, glycol and numerous other organic compounds as well as phosgene gas, Gases like NH, SOz, CO: or Ch: etc. which have hi iti be easily liquefied by applying high pressure alone, Ott ae ee etc must be cooled below their Te and liquefied by applying high pressuve. ‘The principle involved in liquefaction of Gases is 1) Agas must be at or below its Tc, Lower the temperature below Te, easict would be the liquefacti cE liquefaction uquefaction and less would be the pressure required fot 2) The gas is cooled either by doing ext 5 i : the internal forces of molecular aration ony opening “ A force of attraction exists between two adi of attraction is called van der Waal’s force, One. molec oleules Paine ‘Its force of at Scanned with CamScanner eaten molecule when they bro o oth than chemical forces, van cer gtoaether, These cn nc Can ea i en jo pen gas molecules are far e element; ott lived inter molecul: 180" tecules come closer b apart and are in rapid os t ese mol der Waals forces arene Pressure and Sines Pie: motion Wen polite olid state.
