The Mole, Avogadro's Number, and Molecular Mass

Atomic Mass Unit, U

By international agreement, the reference element is chosen to be the most abundant type of carbon, called carbon-12, and its atomic mass is defined to be exactly twelve atomic mass units, or 12 u.

Molecular Mass

The molecular mass of a molecule is the sum of the atomic masses of its atoms.
For instance, hydrogen and oxygen have atomic masses of 1.007 94 u and 15.9994 u, respectively. The molecular mass of a water molecule (H2O) is: 2(1.007 94 u) + 15.9994 u = 18.0153 u.

Avogadro's Number NA
The number of atoms per mole is known as Avogadro's number NA, after the Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro (17761856):

Number of Moles, n
The number of moles n contained in any sample is the number of particles N in the sample divided by the number of particles per mole NA (Avogadro's number):

The number of moles contained in a sample can also be found from its mass.

The Ideal Gas Law

An ideal gas is an idealized model for real gases that have sufficiently low densities. The condition of low density means that the molecules of the gas are so far apart that they do not interact (except during collisions that are effectively elastic).

The ideal gas law expresses the relationship between the absolute pressure (P), the Kelvin temperature (T), the volume (V), and the number of moles (n) of the gas.

PV nRT
Where R is the universal gas constant. R = 8.31 J/(mol K).

The Ideal Gas Law

The constant term R/NA is referred to as Boltzmann's constant, in honor of the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann (18441906), and is represented by the symbol k:

PV = NkT

Kinetic Theory of Gases

Kinetic Theory of Gases

The pressure that a gas exerts is caused by the impact of its molecules on the walls of the container.

Kinetic Theory of Gases

The pressure that a gas exerts is caused by the impact of its molecules on the walls of the container. It can be shown that the average translational kinetic energy of a molecule of an ideal gas is given by,

where k is Boltzmann's constant and T is the Kelvin temperature.

Derivation of,

Consider a gas molecule colliding elastically with the right wall of the container and rebounding from it.

Force on the molecule

The force on the molecule is obtained using Newtons second law as follows,

P , t

The force exerted on the wall by one molecule

The force on one of the molecule,

According to Newton's law of actionreaction, the force on the wall is equal in magnitude to this value, but oppositely directed.

The force exerted on the wall by one molecule,

mv 2 L

Force acting on an area

If N is the total number of molecules, since these particles move randomly in three dimensions, one-third of them on the average strike the right wall. Therefore, the total force is:

Vrms = root-mean-square velocity.

Force acting on an area

Pressure is force per unit area, so the pressure P acting on a wall of area L2 is

Force acting on an area

Pressure is force per unit area, so the pressure P acting on a wall of area L2 is

Since the volume of the box is V = L3, the equation above can be written as,

PV = NkT

The Speed of Molecules in Air

Air is primarily a mixture of nitrogen N2 (molecular mass = 28.0 u) and oxygen O2 (molecular mass = 32.0 u). Assume that each behaves as an ideal gas and determine the rms speed of the nitrogen and oxygen molecules when the temperature of the air is 293 K.
