Gases behave different than solids and liquids.Affected by changes in

Pressure

Force per unit areaInverse relationship between pressure

and volume at constant temperatureLower volume = higher pressure and vice versa

Boyle’s Law

At a constant temperature: V2=P1V1/P2

Example: What is the final volume of a gas if the initial volume was 500 mL and the pressure increased from 200 kPa to 400 kPa V2=200 kPa x 500 mL/400 kPa

V2=100000/400=250 mL

Boyle’s Law, cont.

Real life: airplane ear pain = lower air pressure at altitude and the volume in your inner ear tries to increase. Ouch!

Temperature and gases

Low temperature = low volumeIncreases to temp increases in volume

Charles’s Law: volume of gas increases as temp increases if pressure is constantV1/T1 = V2/T2

Charles’s Law, cont.

Example: A sample of helium gas has a volume of 50 mL at 300 degrees K. At what temperature would the gas have a volume of 70 mL?V1/T1=V2/T2

50 mL/300 K = 70 mL/T2

(300 K x 70 mL)/50 mL = 420 K

Design a concept bookmark or t-shirt, front and back, one side showing Charles’s Law and the other showing Boyle’s Law.

Include a paragraph describing each side of the bookmark or t-shirt.

Remember to use COLOR!

Thoughts to ponder:1. What is the slope of the line?2. What is the reason for multiple lines?3. What do the dashed lines represent?
