2. PROPERTIES OF GAS
No fixed shape
No fixed volume
Molecules are far apart
Force of attraction least
Freedom of movement maximum
High kinetic energy
Diffusion maximum
3. VOLUME OF GAS
Space requires to occupy
No definite volume
Volume of its container
4. PRESSURE OF A GAS
Force exerted on unit area
Gaseous molecules in random motion
Collide with one another and walls of the
container
Due to this exert pressure
Unit is atm
5. DIFFUSION
Molecules of gases mix together and spread
Examples
i. fragrance of jasmine flower
ii. Smell of kerosene
iii. Smell of perfumes
iv. Smell of rotten egg
6. LIQUEFIED GAS
By applying pressure
By decrease temperature
Situations
i. Liquefied gas
ii. Liquid ammonia
iii. Liquid nitrogen
iv. Liquid oxygen
v. LPG
8. BOYLE’S LAW
The volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely
proportional to its pressure at constant temperature
PV is a constant
P1V1=P2V2
9. CHARLES’S LAW
At constant pressure the volume of a fixed mass
of gas is directly proportional to its temperature
in Kelvin scale
V/T is a constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
10. AVOGADRO’S LAW
At constant pressure and temperature the
volume of a gas is directly proportional to
the number of molecules
Vn is a constant
