Example
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
Partial Pressure-Pressure of a gas in a mixture as if occupied the container alone
Assumes that in a mixture large distances between molecules reduce influence of other gases to zero

Kinetic Molecular Theory
1.All gases are composed of molecules in random motion
2. The volume of the actual gas molecules are considered negligible (approaching zero)
3. Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules are considered negligible (approaching zero)
4. The average Kinetic Energy of all molecules in a gas sample varies with temperature
5. All collisions between molecules are considered perfectly elastic (complete conservation of momentum)
Boyles Law Predicted By KMT
Volume increase will increase the surface area for collisions thereby reducing the number of collisions per sq cm(Pressure)
Charles Law Predicted by KMT
Increasing the temperature will increase the average  thereby causing the molecules to travel faster and the number of collisions per sq cm to increase

R1 / R2 = (MM)2 1/2 / (MM)1 ½
t2 / t1 = (MM)2 ½ / (MM)1 ½
Problem
Factors Causing Ideal Gas Deviation
Molecular Volume
Intermolecular Forces
Temperature and Pressure Effects On Ideal Gas Behavior
Low temperature causes greater deviation from Ideal Gas Behavior
Lower temperature decreases average Kinetic Energy thereby increasing Intermolecular forces effect on molecules
Higher Pressure causes greater deviation
Decreases distance between molecules thereby increasing Intermolecular Forces

T-96   Deviation From Ideality With Temperature
Van Der Waals(Real Gas) Equation
Compensates for actual deviation

a and b = Van Der Waals Constants
“a”  compensates for intermolecular forces
“b” compensates for molecular volume
