PAL #13 Kinetic Theory Which process is isothermal?
Since T is constant, nRT is constant and thus pV is constant Initial pV = 20, A: pV = 20, B: pV = 21
3 moles at 2 m3, expand isothermally from 3500 Pa to 2000 Pa For isothermal process: W = nRTln(Vf/Vi) pV = nRT, T = pV/nR = (3500)(2)/(3)(8.31) = 281 K Vf = nRT/pf = (3)(8.31)(281)/(2000) = 3.5 m3
Since T is constant, E = 0, Q = W = 3917 J
Ideal Gas
pV=nRTvrms = (3RT/M)½
Kave =(3/2) k T
Internal Energy We have looked at the work of an ideal gas, what about
the internal energy?
Eint = (nNA) Kave = nNA(3/2)kT
Eint = (3/2) nRT
Internal energy depends only on temperature Strictly true only for monatomic gasses
Note that this is the total internal energy, not the change in internal energy
Molar Specific Heats If we add heat to something, it will change
temperature, depending on the specific heat
The equation for specific heat is:
From the first law of thermodynamics:
Consider a gas with constant V (W=0),
But Eint/T = (3/2)nR, so:
CV = 3/2 R = 12.5 J/mol K Molar specific heat at constant volume for an ideal gas
Specific Heat and Internal Energy
If CV = (3/2)R we can find the internal energy in terms of CV
Eint = nCV T
True for any process (assuming monatomic gas)
Specific Heat at Constant Pressure
We can also find the molar specific heat at constant pressure (Cp)
Eint = nCVT
W = pV = nR T
Cp = CV + R Cp is greater than Cv
At constant pressure, you need more heat since you are also doing work
Degrees of Freedom Our relation CV = (3/2)R = 12.5 agrees
with experiment only for monatomic gases
We assumed that energy is stored only in translational motion
For polyatomic gasses energy can also be stored in modes of rotational motion
Each possible way the molecule can store energy is called a degree of freedom
Rotational Motions
MonatomicNo Rotation
Polyatomic2 Rotational Degrees of Freedom
Equipartition of Energy Equipartition of Energy:
Each degree of freedom (f) has associated with it energy equal to ½RT per mole
CV = (f/2) R = 4.16f J/mol K
Where f = 3 for monatomic gasses (x,y and z translational motion and f=5 for diatomic gases (3 trans. + 2 rotation)
It is always true that Cp = CV + R
Oscillation At high temperatures we also have
oscillatory motion
So there are 3 types of microscopic motion a molecule can experience: translational -- l rotational -- oscillatory --
If the gas gets too hot the molecules will disassociate
Internal Energy of H2
Adiabatic Expansion
It can be shown that the pressure and temperature are related by:
pV = constant
You can also write:TV-1 = constant
Remember also that Eint =-W since Q=0
Ideal Gas Processes I
IsothermalConstant temperature W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)
IsobaricConstant pressure W=pV Eint = nCpT-pV
Ideal Gas Processes II
AdiabaticNo heat (pV = constant,
TV-1 = constant) W=-Eint

process you should know: Path on p-V

E) vA = (1/√2) vB
How does the rms velocity of the molecules in room A compare to the rms velocity of the molecules in room B?
