Understanding Gas Laws: Boyle's, Charles', and Avogadro's Principles
This lesson focuses on key gas laws including Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Avogadro's Law, explaining their principles and applications. Students will learn how to apply these laws to calculate changes in volume, pressure, and temperature under various conditions. Activities include demonstrations to showcase these gas relationships, as well as practice problems that reinforce learning through calculations involving direct and inverse proportions. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to predict the behavior of gases in response to changes in environmental conditions.

Presentation Transcript
Day 1 • I CAN… • Understand and apply Boyle’s Law • Understand and apply Charles’ Law • Observe and explain demos using gas laws
Gas Laws 1 torr = 1mm Hg 1 atm = 760 mm Hg Convert 687 torrs into atmospheres. If temperature is constant, what happens to volume (V) as pressure (P) increases? What if P decreases?
ANSWERS F A • Pressure (P) is COLLISIONS and is force per unit area 2. 687 torr x 1 atm = 0.904 atm 760 torr • If T is constant… as P increases, V decreases! • If T is constant… as P decreases, V increases! P V P V
Properties of Gases Gases can be described using the following four variables: V = volume of the gas (liters, L) P = pressure (atmospheres, atm) T = temperature (Kelvin, K) n = amount (moles, mol) UNITS
Inverse and DirectProportions Indirect Direct
Inverse / Indirect Relationship • What variables did you observe to have an indirect relationship yesterday with the simulation?
Direct Relationship • What variables did you observe to have a direct relationship yesterday with the simulation?
INVERSE PROPORTIONS P • As one variable goes up, the other goes down! • Produces a curved graph… V T constant
Demo Time • Vacuum pump
Boyle's Law P1 x V1=P2xV2 P may change and V may change, but their product stays the same! Multiplying the two variables equals a constant.
Boyle’s Law A gas filled syringe has a volume of 150mL and a starting pressure of 0.947atm. If the pressure is increased to 0.987 atm what is the new volume? Given: P1= 0.947 atm V1= 150mL= 0.15L P2= 0.987 atm V2 = ???? P1V1=P2V2 V2 = 0.947 atm (.15L) = 0.987 atm
Demo Time • Liquid nitrogen
T V DIRECTPROPORTIONS • As one variable goes up, so does the other! • Produces a straight line graph… • Dividing the one variable by the other equals a constant. V1 V2 T1 T2 = YES!!!
Charles’ Law The volume of a balloon is 2.45 L when at a temperature of 273 K. What happens to the volume when the temperature is raised to 325K? Given: V1= 2.45L T1= 273 K V2= ? T2 = 325 K V2 = 2.45 L (325K) = 273 K V1 V2 T1 T2 =
Charles’ Law • Temperature MUST be in Kelvins! • Kelvins is the unit of temperature that gives the direct relationship to energy and the other units. Celsius does not! • 0°C = 273 K • So… what is 23°C in K? • 23 + 273 = 296 K
