Short Discussion
The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) explains the properties of gases and describes the behavior
of gases. You can relate the early discussions that we had with this theory.
So far, you have learned that gases have mass, volume, temperature and it exerts pressure. The pressure
exerted by gas molecules is due to collision among gas molecules and with the walls of the container. The
frequency of collision is affected by temperature because gas molecules move faster at high
temperature, on the other hand, they move slowly at low temperature. The faster the movement of the
molecules, the more frequent the collision, causing an increase in pressure.

• The properties of gases can affect one another. They are related to each other.
o The volume of a gas is directly related to its temperature at constant pressure.
o The pressure of a gas is directly related to its temperature at constant temperature.
o The volume of a gas is inversely related to its pressure at constant temperature.
o The amount of a gas in a mole is directly related to its volume at constant pressure and
temperature

Boyle’s Law V1P1 = V2P2

Charles’ Law V1 / T 1 = V2 / T 2
Gay-Lussac’s Law P1/ T1 = P2 / T2 V1n2 = V2n1

Avogadro’s Law V1P1 T2 = V2P2 T1

Ideal Gas Law PV=nRT

Where .....
V= volume,
P = pressure,
T = temperature,
n = amount of gas in moles
R = 0.0821 L.atm./mol.K
 The behavior of the gas molecules can be explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory. It states that:

• Gases are composed of molecules. The distances from molecule to molecule are far greater than
the molecules’ dimensions. These molecules can be considered as spherical bodies which possess
negligible mass and volume
• Gas molecules are always in constant random motion and they frequently collide with each other
and with the walls of the container. Collisions among molecules are perfectly elastic, that is,
energy may transfer from molecule to molecule as the result of collision, but the total energy of all
the molecules in the system remains the same/constant. There is a negligible attractive or
repulsive force between or among gas molecules.
• Movement of gas molecules is affected by temperature. The average kinetic of the molecules is
directly related to the temperature of gas.

When filling a weather balloon with gas you have to consider that the gas will expand greatly as it rises and the
pressure decreases. Let’s say you put about 10.0 moles of He gas into a balloon that can inflate to hold 5000.0L.
Currently, the balloon is not full because of the high pressure on the ground. What is the pressure when the balloon
rises to a point where the temperature is 10.0°C and the balloon has completely filled with the gas.
