🌬️Gaseous State
🧪 Basic Characteristics:
No fixed volume or shape.
Low density, highly compressible, molecules far apart.
📌 Gas Laws:
Boyle’s Law:
P∝1VP \propto \frac{1}{V}P∝V1 (at constant T)
→ PV=constantPV = \text{constant}PV=constant
Charles’s Law:
V∝TV \propto TV∝T (at constant P)
→ VT=constant\frac{V}{T} = \text{constant}TV=constant
Gay-Lussac’s Law:
P∝TP \propto TP∝T (at constant V)
→ PT=constant\frac{P}{T} = \text{constant}TP=constant
Avogadro’s Law:
V∝nV \propto nV∝n (equal V of gases at same T, P have equal molecules)
Combined Gas Law:
PVT=constant\frac{PV}{T} = \text{constant}TPV=constant
Ideal Gas Equation:
PV=nRTPV = nRTPV=nRT

📏 Units & Conversions
Pressure:
1 atm = 760 mmHg = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa
Volume: 1 L = 1000 mL = 10⁻³ m³
Temperature in K: T(K)=°C+273.15T(K) = °C + 273.15T(K)=°C+273.15
📈 Gas Density & Molar Mass:
d=PMRTd = \frac{PM}{RT}d=RTPM
M=dRTPM = \frac{dRT}{P}M=PdRT
📊 Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
Ptotal=P1+P2+...+PnP_{\text{total}} = P_1 + P_2 + ... + P_nPtotal=P1+P2+...+Pn

⚛️Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
Assumptions:
Particles in constant, random motion.
No intermolecular forces (ideal gas).
Collisions are perfectly elastic.
Volume of particles negligible.
Equation of Pressure:
P=13⋅Nmc2ˉVP = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{N m \bar{c^2}}{V}P=31⋅VNmc2ˉ
Root mean square speed:
urms=3RTMu_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}urms=M3RT
Average speed:
uavg=8RTπMu_{\text{avg}} = \sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}uavg=πM8RT
Most probable speed:
ump=2RTMu_{\text{mp}} = \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M}}ump=M2RT
🌬️Real Gases & Deviations
Reasons for deviation:
Molecular volume.
Intermolecular attractions.
Van der Waals Equation:
(P+an2V2)(V−nb)=nRT\left(P + \frac{a n^2}{V^2}\right)(V - nb) = nRT(P+V2an2)
(V−nb)=nRT
a → intermolecular attraction
b → volume of molecules
Compressibility factor:
Z=PVnRT⇒Z=1 (ideal gas)Z = \frac{PV}{nRT} \Rightarrow Z = 1 \ (\text{ideal
gas})Z=nRTPV⇒Z=1 (ideal gas)
Z<1Z < 1Z<1: attraction dominates.
Z>1Z > 1Z>1: repulsion dominates.
💧 Liquefaction of Gases
Critical temperature (TcT_cTc): above which gas cannot be liquefied.
Critical pressure (PcP_cPc): pressure needed to liquefy at TcT_cTc
Critical volume (VcV_cVc): volume at Tc,PcT_c, P_cTc,Pc
💨 Effusion & Diffusion
Graham’s Law:
o Rate of effusion ∝ 1M\frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}M1
r1r2=M2M1\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}r2r1=M1M2
