Thermodynamics
1. Properties of Gases

1.A The perfect gas

Definition

 Gas: consists of a collection of molecules that are in ceaseless motion and which interact
significantly with one another only when they collide

Variables of state

 Physical state: depends on the pressure (p), the amount of substance it contains (n) the
volume it occupies (V) and the temperature (T)
 Thermodynamic equilibrium: the state variables of the system do not change spontaneously
 Pressure: mechanical equilibrium is the condition of equality in pressure of two gasses →
standard pressure (pᶿ) is 1 bar) is 1 bar
 Temperature: a perfect-gas/thermodynamic temperature scale (in Kelvins) is independent of
the identity of the gas → K = °C + 273.15

Perfect gas

 Equation of state: interrelates the variables that define the state of a substance → the value
depends only on the current state of the system and is independent of how that state has
been prepared
 Limiting law: strictly true only in a certain limit
 pV = nRT = NkT → perfect gas law
 Perfect gas: obeys the perfect gas law exactly under all conditions
 Real gas: is described exactly by the perfect gas law in the limit of p→0
 R = NAk → molar gas constant

Processes

 Reversible process: the system is in thermodynamic equilibrium at every moment
 Irreversible process: is not necessarily reversible
 Isothermal process: at constant temperature
 Isobaric process: at constant pressure
 Isochoric process: at constant volume
 Adiabatic process: without heat exchange with the environment (dQ = 0)

Mixture of gases

 pJ = xJp → partial pressure (xJ = mole fraction)
 pA + pB + … = (xA + xB + …)p = p → for real and perfect gases
 Dalton’s law: the pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures that each

one would exert if it occupied the container alone

1.C Real gases

Intermolecular forces

 Intermolecular forces: important when distance between the molecules is very small and the
temperature is very low
 Repulsions: short-range interactions that assist expansion
 Attractions: long-range interactions that assist compression
 Vapour pressure: the pressure at which both liquid and vapour are present in equilibrium

, Compression factor
 Z = Vm / V°m → compression factor (ratio measured molar volume/perfect gas molar volume)
 Z > 1: due to repulsive forces the molar volume is larger than that of a perfect gas
 Z < 1: due to attractive forces the molar volume is smaller than that of a perfect gas

Virial coefficients
 pVm = RT(1 + B/Vm + C/V2m + …) → virial equation of state (summarizes the behaviour of real
gases over a range of conditions)
 Virial coefficients: depend on the temperature → second (B), third (C), … in the equation
 Boyle temperature (TB): the properties of a real gas coincide with those of a perfect gas as
p→0
 At TB: B = 0 & pVm = RTB
Critical constants
 Critical point: compression takes place at TC and a surface separating two phases does not
appear and the volumes at each end of the horizontal part of the isotherm have merged to a
single point
 Critical constants: critical temperature Tc, critical pressure pc and critical molar volume Vc
 Tc = 8a / 27Rb , pc = a / 27b2 , Vc = 3b
 Zc = pcVc / RTc = 3/8 → critical compression factor (for all gases that are described by the van
der Waals equation near the critical point)
 Supercritical fluid: gas that occupies the entire volume (container) at T ≥ T C → much denser
than normally considered typical of gases
Van der Waals equation
 p = (nRT / V – nb) – a(n2 / V2) → Van der Waals equation of state (real gases)
 Van der Waals coefficients: represent the strength of attractive (a) and the repulsive
interactions between the molecules (b) → characteristic for each gas but independent of the
temperature
 Van der Waals’ loops: the unrealistic oscillations below Tc → they suggest that under some
conditions an increase of pressure results in an increase of volume
 Maxwell construction: the oscillations are replaced by horizontal lines drawn so the loops
define equal areas above and below the lines
Principles van der Waals equation
 Perfect gas isotherms are obtained at high temperatures and large molar volumes → then the
perfect gas law applies (p = RT / Vm)
 Liquids and gases coexist when the attractive and repulsive effects are in balance
 The critical constants are related to the van der Waals coefficients → the extrema of the
oscillations converge as T→Tc and coincide at T=Tc (1st and 2nd derivatives are zero)
Corresponding states
 Reduced variables: dimensionless variables of a gas used to compare the properties of
objects
 Vr = Vm / Vc , pr = pm / pc , Tr = Tm / Tc → reduced variables
 Principle of corresponding states: real gases at the same reduced volume and reduced
temperature exert the same reduced pressure → approximation that works best for spherical
(globular) molecules
 Pr = (8Tr / 3Vr – 1) – (3 / V2r) → same equation but Van der Waals coefficients disappeared
