5.18 Gay-lussac's law

28 October 2011

11:11
· 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)

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

Instructions
· Launch the application on this website: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gas-properties

[cid:image001.png@01CCA8FB.CBD9FBA0]
· 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

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 "cloud" is water droplets - liquid water
· When you squeeze the bottle the temperature increases and the droplets turn into water vapour
· The smoke particles are nucleating sites on which the water can condense

· 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

· 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]

5.7 and 5.8

Instructions for Objective 5.7 and 5.8

1.    5.7 and 5.8 Starter.  Find out the names of the processes.  Research on the internet if necessary.  No need to blog this.

2.    5.7 and 5.8.  Forward this e-mail to your blog and type the answers into the e-mail.

3.    5.7 and 5.8 Experiment.  I’m afraid you can’t do the expt until we get back but watch the video clip to see how it’s set up and have a look at the graph of the results.

4.    5.7 to 5.10 Plenary 1.  Play the attached “States of Matter”

5.    5.7 to 5.10 Plenary 2.  Play the attached “Fill the trucks”

6.    PhET States of matter simulation - embedding into your Posterous blog.  Embed in your blog and then have a play

·         5.7 understand that a substance can change state from solid to liquid by the process of melting

·         5.8 understand that a substance can change state from liquid to gas by the process of evaporation or boiling

·         Questions from Collins p.112

·         Answer in Bullet Points!

Image003

Q1. A) solids keep their shape because the particles are so tightly packed together that they only vibrate in their fixed position. Liquids don’t because they are less packed together because there is more kinetic energy and they are free to move in the shape of their container. Gases have so much kinetic energy that they have no fixed shape and are free to move anywhere.

b) Gases have a lot of kinetic energy, due to heat. This causes the particles to be less dense than liquids or solids and causes them to float and fill their entire container

Q3. Boiling happens when there is high temperatures in a liquid which cause the liquid to have more kinetic energy, evaporation occurs when temperatures go any higher than boiling point, or on the top of the liquid during boiling
