 An Ideal Gas (perfect gas) is one which

obeys Boyle's Law and Charles' Law


exactly.

 An Ideal Gas obeys the Ideal Gas Law


(General gas equation):
PV = nRT
 where
P = pressure
V = volume
n = moles of
gas T =
R = gas constant (dependent on the units of
temperature
pressure, temperature and volume)
R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1 if
Pressure is in kilopascals(kPa)
Volume is in litres(L)
Temperature is in kelvin(K)
R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1 if
Pressure is in atmospheres(atm)
Volume is in litres(L) Temperature is
in kelvin(K)
 An Ideal Gas is modelled on
the Kinetic Theory of Gases which has
4 basic postulates:
 Gases consist of small particles
(molecules) which are in
continuous random motion
 The volume of the molecules present is
negligible compared to the total volume
occupied by the gas
 Intermolecular forces are negligible
 Pressure is due to the gas molecules
colliding with the walls of the
container
 Real Gases deviate from Ideal Gas
Behaviour because:
 at low temperatures the gas molecules have
less kinetic energy (move around less) so they
do attract each other
 at high pressures the gas molecules are forced
closer together so that the volume of the gas
molecules becomes significant compared to the
volume the gas occupies
 Under ordinary conditions, deviations from
Ideal Gas behaviour are so slight that they
can be neglected

 A gas which deviates from Ideal Gas


behaviour is called a non-ideal gas.

Problem
A hydrogen gas thermometer is found to have a
volume of 100.0 cm3 when placed in an ice-
water bath at 0°C. When the same thermometer
is immersed in boiling liquid chlorine, the
volume of hydrogen at the same pressure is
found to be 87.2 cm3. What is the temperature of
the boiling point of chlorine?
Solution
For hydrogen, PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is
volume, n is number of moles, R is the gas
constant, and T is temperature.
Initially:
 P1 = P, V1 = 100 cm3, n1 = n, T1 = 0 + 273 = 273
K
PV1 = nRT1

Finally:
 P2 = P, V2 =
87.2 cm3, n2
= n, T2 = ?

Note that P, n, and R are the same.
Therefore, the equations may be
rewritten:
P/nR = T1/V1 = T2/V2
and T2 = V2T1/V1 Plugging
in the values we know:
 T2 = 87.2 cm3 x 273 K / 100.0 cm3
 T2 = 238 K
Answer
238 K (which could also be written as
-35°C)
