Potential energy

The intermolecular force between two gas molecules is so small that it is insignificant.

Ideal gas

• The intermolecular force = 0.

• At absolute zero, gas volume = 0.

Macroscopic point of view

• The gas laws.

• Pressure, volume, temperature and mass (mole).

Ideal Gas

• Not all gases obey Boyle’s law.

• Many gases follow the law well at high temperature and low pressure.

• Gases which obey Boyle’s law exactly are called ideal gases.

Temperature and thermometer

• Name different kinds of thermometer and the substances used in the thermometers.

http://www.howstuffworks.com/therm.htm

Temperature Scale

• Choose a property which changes with temperature as the thermometric substance.

• Choose two particular temperatures.– Lower fixed point– Upper fixed point

Temperature Scales

• Fixed points (i.e. some particular temperatures)

The Celsius Temperature

• Upper fixed point: the temperature of boiling pure water at one atmospheric pressure. It is called 100oC.

• Lower fixed point: the temperature of melting pure ice. It is called 0oC.

http://www.santesson.com/engtemp.html

The Celsius Temperature

• Let X100 be the value of the thermometric substance at 100oC.

• Let Xo be the value of the thermometric substance at 0oC.

process 1: process 2:

Q = U + W

First Law of Thermodynamics

Q = U + W

The heat supplied to the gas, Q, enables it to do work W and to increase its internal energy U .

Example 12

• Assume that the gas volume decreases in the process.

Example 13

• On expansion, there is loss of internal energy.

• By heating, the internal energy is supplemented.

Adiabatic process• In this process, there is not any heat transfer.

• Q = 0 U + W = 0

U = - W

• On adiabatic expansion

W > 0 U < 0

• On adiabatic compression

W < 0 U > 0

Adiabatic process

• Using a container with good heat insulation adiabatic process Q = 0.

• Change the gas volume quickly adiabatic process Q = 0. (I) Quick compression of gas A rise in

temperature. (II) Quick expansion of gas A drop in

temperature.

Adiabatic process: Experiment

• Change the gas volume quickly

adiabatic process Q = 0.

(I) Quick compression of gas A rise in temperature.

(II) Quick expansion of gas A drop in temperature.

Example 14

• Expansion of gas quickly.

Constant volume process• The gas volume does not change W = 0.• U = Q.• Heat is supplied to the gas and

increases its internal energy (kinetic energy) Temperature rises up.

• Heat is extracted from the gas and decreases its internal energy (kinetic energy) Temperature drops down.
