Section 2

Class 5

Wed. Sept. 18

Before Class Assignment

  • read sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.6
Topics
  • kinetic molecular theory and characteristics of an ideal gas
  • pressure
  • ideal gas laws

Learning Objectives

  • understand the postulates of the kinetic molecular theory of gasses and how they explain the behaviour of gasses
  • understand the origin of pressure and units by which pressure is expressed
  • learn how to explain gas behaviour using ideal gas laws
After Class Homework
  • Chapter 5: 27, 37, 43, 47, 49, 101
 

Class 6

Fri. Sept. 20

Before Class Assignment

  • read sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.7 
Topics
  • the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT) and Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure
  • effusion and diffusion

Learning Objectives

  • learn how to quantify ideal gas behaviour mathematically
After Class Homework
  • Chapter 5: 59, 77, 83, 87, 111, 133, 157, 163
 
 
Class 7

Mon. Sept. 22

Before Class Assignment

  • read sections 5.8 - 5.10
  • read section 18.1 (note: this replaces section 4.10, which is oversimplified and confusing)
Topics
  • real (non-ideal) gasses
  • combustion reactions and reactions between gaseous species
  • balancing redox reactions

Learning Objectives

  • learn how real gasses deviate from ideality and how to quantify the deviation
  • learn how to balance electron-transfer (redox) reactions
After Class Homework
  • Chapter 4: 83, 87
  • Chapter 5: 67, 73, 115, 135, 149, 161
  • Chapter 18: 17, 29
