This unit explains the laws governing the volume, pressure, and temperature of gases. It also seeks to conceptually explain the relationships between volume, pressure, and temperature.
Objectives:
- Understand why the size of the gas particles is insignificant.
- Understand the relationships between pressure, volume, and temerature.
- Know the combined gas law.
- Know the ideal gas law.
- Know Dalton's law.
- Understand the limitations of the gas laws.
- Know where the ideal gas law is applicable.
Pressure vs. Temperature[]
As the above image shows,
The Combined Gas Law[]
Below is the combination of the aforementioned factors combined into one formula.
The Ideal Gas Law[]
The Ideal Gas Law, which applies to all Noble gases and other diatomic gas molecules.
