WHY CHEMISTRY IS SO IMPORTANT?
CHEMISTRY IS DIVIDED INTO 5 MAJOR AREAS:
HOW CAN WE DEFINE PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY?
The branch of chemistry concerned with
the application of the techniques and
theories of physics to the study of
chemical systems.

Conclusion and statement of the law. Thus, at fixed temperature and pressure, the volume occupied by a
gas is directly proportional to the amount (mol) of gas:

THE KINETIC-MOLECULAR THEORY: A MODEL FOR GAS BEHAVIOR
The kinetic-molecular theory is the model that accounts for macroscopic gas behavior
at the level of individual particles (atoms or molecules). James Clerk Maxwell and
Ludwig Boltzmann.

gas contribute to the total pressure in
proportion to its number of particles?
The greater the number of particles, the more frequently they collide with the
container, and so the greater the pressure.
Adding a given amount (mol) of This increase causes a Each gas exerts a fraction of P in

THE CENTRAL IMPORTANCE OF KINETIC ENERGY
Why don’t the heavier O2 molecules, which strike the container
walls with more force than the lighter H2 molecules, exert more
pressure and thus take up more volume?

High pressure. As Pext rises, the volume of the sample decreases and the
particles get closer together, so interparticle attractions have a greater effect.
