The Ideal Gas Equation
An ideal gas is a gas with no intermolecular interaction and with negligible volume.
P = pressure (Pa)
PV =nRT V = volume (m3)
n = amount of moles
Slide 16
RT R = gas constant (8.3145
v m=
P J/mol/K)
T = temperature (K)
The ideal gas equation is a combination of three different laws. The Boyle’s law is the
first law which states: At a constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount of
gas inversely proportional to its volume. The second law is Charles’s law which
states: At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is proportional to
the absolute temperature. The third feature is Avogadro’s principle which states: At a
given temperature and pressure, qual volumes of gas contain the same number of
molecules.

Dalton’s Law: Partial pressures
When w/w% is given: calculate according to Lesson 5, exercise 5. Take any amount in
grams and divide with MW.
When v/v% is given: multiply the percentage factor with the density to get the
amount in kg L-1. If your total volume is a bottle of 1 L for example, then you know
your weight in grams and divide it with the MW to get the amount of moles.

, Lecture 2: The First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics: The internal energy of an isolated system is
constant.
Internal energy (U)
The capacity of a system to do work or to transfer heat to the surroundings. Grand
total of all the kinetic and potential energies.
Constant T, perfect gas:
Closed system: ΔUsys = -ΔUsur
ΔUsys = q + w
Isolated system: ΔUsys = 0
q = -w
Constant V, no non-expansion work:
If a reaction is carried out in a container of constant volume, the system can do no
expansion work.
Therefore, w=0. Therefore,
ΔU=q
Work
The mode of transfer of energy that achieves or utilizes uniform motion in the
surroundings.
Expansion work
w=( pext ∙ A ) ⋅ h=−P ext ∙ ∆ V
Pext = External pressure (Pa)
h = distance (height)
A = Area
Pext**A=force
A*h=∆ V
∆ V = volume change (m3)
- Free expansion: When the external pressure is zero, then w=0. The system
does no work as it expands.
- At constant volume, w=0 (because ΔU=q)
- Maximum work is done when the external pressure is only infinitesimally less
than the pressure of the gas in the system (=mechanical equilibrium,
maximum expansion work).
