3. Physical Characteristics of Gases
• Assume the volume and shape of their
containers.
• most compressible state of matter
• mix evenly and completely when confined to
the same container
• much lower densities than liquids and solids.
4. Ideal gas
• Theoretical
• Negligible intermolecular forces
• collisions between atoms or molecules are
perfectly elastic
• Obeys universal gas law PV= nRT at all temp &
pressures
• Where P = Pressure V = Volume n = Numbers of moles R = Universal gas constant = 8.3145
J/mol K T = Temperature
5. Real gas
• Real gases H2, N2 , O2
• exhibit properties that cannot be explained
entirely using the ideal gas law
• Behave like ideal gas at STP
• Air at atmospheric pressure is a nearly ideal
• STP = standard temperature and pressure
6. Standard Temperature & Pressure
(STP)
• Variable
• IUPAC has, since 1982
• standard reference conditions as being 0 °C
and 100 kPa (1 bar), in contrast to its old
standard of 0 °C and 101.325 kPa (1 atm)
8. Boyle’s Law
• Robert boyle,1662
• At constant temperature, V 1/P
• PV = K (constant)
• P1V1 = P2V2

cylinder
1300 Litres @ 1 atm pressure
10x130= V x 1 bar
10 litre O2 cylinder @ 130 bar
11. Charles law
• Jacques Charles, 1678
• At constant pressure volume of a given mass
of gas varies directly with temperature , that is
V T ( in kelvin)
or V/T = Constant (k2)
V
T
12. • Gases expand when
heated, become
less dense , thus hot
air rises >> convection
• LMA inflatable cuff
expands in an autoclave
13. 3rd gas law /Gay-Lussac’s law
• At constant volume the absolute pressure of a
given mass of gas varies directly with the
absolute temperature
P T
or P/T = Constant
P
T
15. Combined Gas Law
• Boyle’s + Charle’s + Gay Lussac’s law
• P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
• useful for converting gas volumes collected
under one set of conditions to a new volume
for a different set of conditions
16. Spirometry
• BTPS 37 0 C and H2O pressure 47 mm of Hg
• Standard room temp & H2O pressure
250C
• spirometer records volume under room air, not
body conditions
• Thus, conversion factor or 1.07
• BTPS – body temp & pressure
17. Avogadro’s Hypothesis
• For a given mass of an ideal gas
volume amount (moles) of the gas
if temperature and pressure are constant
Amedeo Avogadro, 1811
18. 1 MOLE OF A SUBSTANCE
• Quantity of a substance containing the same
number of particles as there are atoms in
0.012kg of carbon12
• There are 6.022 x 1023 atoms in 12 g of carbon
12. This is called Avogadro’s Number
19. • equal volumes of gases at the same
temperature and pressure contain equal
numbers of molecules
• One mole of any gas at STP occupies
22.4litres !
20. • 2 g of Hydrogen or 32 g of Oxygen or 44
g of Carbon dioxide occupy 22.4 litres at
STP
21. Calculating the volume of nitrous
oxide in a cylinder :
• A nitrous oxide cylinder contains 3.4 kg of
nitrous oxide .
• The molecular weight of nitrous oxide is 44
• One mole is 44 g
• At STP , 44 g occupies 22.4 Litres . Therefore
3,400 g occupies 22.4 x 3,400/44 = 1730
litres.

23. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
V and T are
constant
P1 P2 Ptotal = P1 + P2
John Dalton , 1801
In a mixture of gases , pressure exerted by each gas is the same as that which it
would exert if it alone occupied the container .
24. Dalton’s Law
• The total pressure of a mixture of gases equals
the sum of the partial pressures of the
individual gases.
Ptotal = P1 + P2 + ...

• Thus, alveolar O2 pressure about 35 mm Hg
• Supplemental Oxygen

30. Solubility of gas :
• Depends on type of gas and liquid
• Decreases with increase in temperature
• Caisson’s disease/ decompression sickness
31. Adiabatic changes of state in a gas
• If the state of a gas is altered without a change in
heat energy , it is said to undergo adiabatic change
• Heat energy neither received nor given to surrounding
• If a gas is rapidly compressed ; its temperature rises
(the Joule – Kelvin principle).
• Conversely , If a compressed gas expands rapidly,
cooling occurs (cryoprobe)
32. Application
• Compression of air rapidly in compressor >>
↑ temp >> need of coolant
• Cylinder connected to an anesthetic
machine rapidly turned on >> ↑↑
temperature in gauges & pipelines >> fire
or explosion
33. Cryoprobe
• Rapidly expanding gas through a capillary tube
causes cooling
• N2O, He, Argon, N2
• Cooling causes degeneration, necrosis
• Wart, mole removal. Nerve degeneration for
pain
34. Critical temperature
• Temperature above which a gas cannot be
liquefied
• No matter how much pressure!
• For N2O 36.5 0C, - 119 0C for O2
• for CO2 = 31.1oC
35. Critical Pressure
• Minimum pressure that causes liquefaction
of a gas at its critical temperature
(for CO2 pc = 73 atmospheres)
• So CO2 liquefies ↓ 73 atm at 31.1 0C
36. Pseudocritical temperature
• Deals with gas mixture
• Temperature at which gas mixture may
separate out into constituents
• Entonox 50% O2 50% N2O

GAS- a substance above its critical temperature. Vapour is a substance below its critical temperature.
Where P = Pressure V = Volume n = Numbers of moles R = Universal gas constant = 8.3145 J/mol K T = Temperature
Obeys Boyle's Law and Charles’ law at all temperatures and pressures
International union of pure and applied chemistry
As the mass of molecules present in a fixed volume varies depending on the individual gas , the number of molecules present is expressed as a mole (equivalent to molecular weight ).
R = 8.314 joules/ mol kelvin
At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
The term adiabatic literally means 'without passage’ Applying the three gas laws , for a change to occur in the state of a gas , heat energy is either added or taken away from the gas .
