Period 2, Period 4:
1) Wrap up Kinetic Molecular Theory – Van der Waals Equation – slide 29, 30 graphs
2) View demo videos –
a) Real Gas Behavior – Air horn, condensation of O2, Alaska pipeline
3) Review of Homework
Vapor Pressure presentation that contains Alaska pipeline:
IDEAL GASES – “Ideally” the gas molecules have
insignificant volume compared to the
space they fly in.
– “Ideally” the gas molecules DO NOT have
intermolecular attraction with each other.
Ideal gas Law formula:
|
REAL GASES – The gas molecules REALLY have a
significant volume compared to the
space they fly in.
– The gas molecules REALLY have intermolecular
attractions with each other.
Van der Waals equation:
P + an2 x V – nb = nRT
V
We add to the pressure to solve for the value of the pressure if there WAS NO IMF’s.
We subtract to the volume to solve for the value of the volume if the gas does not have any volume.

Connections:
We have for the last 5 months have been on tour through many topics of chemistry (redox, solution, acid/base, etc.) using the mole concept to perform stoichiometry. Stoichiometry requires a particle and mole concept to predict and calculate the values of our chemical reactions and of course to determine the chemical formulas of our chemicals themselves. We have been using the macro approach to chemistry as we have been looking at groups (moles) of molecules and formulas (if salts) to using the ratios to answer so many chemical questions. We have not considered the micro approach yet AND NOW we will. We will now look at the structure of atoms.
Before we begin with Atomic Structure we need a segway! The first day must connect to the last day! The connection is very easy. Historically we studied the development of the particle (atom) theory with the mole theory. Both of these ideas were necessary in order to do any stoichiometry. REMEMBER that chemistry really only began in the Karlsruhe Congress in 1860 when Stanislao Cannizzaro championed Amedeo Avogadro’s notion that equal volumes of gas at the same pressure and temperature held equal numbers of molecules or atoms, and the notion that equal volumes of gas could be used to calculate atomic weights.
Chemistry began when we USED GASES that we cannot see to determine what the atoms or their arrangements looked like from Gay- Lussac’ s whole number volumes when he reacted gases with gases.
Using Avogadro’s hypothesis ( V = n * K) Cannizzaro was able to for the first time show that stoichiometry can be done for chemical reactions as the molecular formulas of chemicals could be determined!!! He essentially was able to fill the boxes with what the arrangements of atoms MUST be IF YOU ACCEPT 2 NOTIONS:
1. ATOMS are neither created nor destroyed BUT just rearranged (LAW of Conservation of Mass)
2. Equal volumes of 2 (IDEAL GASES) MUST have the same number of molecules if they are
under the same Temperature and Pressure (Avogadro’s Hypothesis!)
WE USED GASES TO DETERMINE ATOMS!

So it only makes sense that we now look more deeply at the particles we discovered through our understanding of gases!
So we begin Atomic structure.

A tour of the Most important atomic structure experiments-
The Class Assignment:
You are to complete a form that is posted below for homework by summarizing in your own words the most important atomic structure experiments listed below. This needs to be specific and complete but still be a summary. I will walk you through these experiments but you will definitely need to view the resources below to complete the assignment. I am counting this as the first test of the 3rd quarter.
I suggest that you write in a word processing program like word, pages, or a google doc AND cut and paste into the form below.
