Gases Properties Phet Lab

This document discusses the key properties of gases - pressure, temperature, volume, and amount of substance - and how they relate to each other according to gas laws. Students are instructed to use an online gas simulation to experiment with adjusting these different properties while holding others constant. They then record their observations and use the data to graph the relationships between pressure and temperature, pressure and volume, and temperature and volume. Real-world examples are also requested that demonstrate each relationship.

Gases: Properties and Laws Learning Objectives: TSW define four important properties of gases- pressure, temperature, volume,

and amount of a substance. TSW graphically analyze the relationships between the properties and define their proportional relationship. TSW apply gas properties and laws to real life. Assignment: Tire pressures, sinus headaches, cabin pressure in airplanes, even hairspray bottles- all find their explanation in the properties and laws of gas molecules. Four important properties of gases- pressure, temperature, volume, and amount in moles!- are used to define the behaviors of gas molecules. "sing the Gas Properties simulation from the p#et program, you and your partner will first define each property and then compare the properties to one another. $. %pen the Gas Properties simulation on the "niversity of &olorado's p#et website( phet.colorado.edu)en)simulation)gas-properties *. +,ump the #andle- to place gas molecules into the box. .. ,lay around with the simulation and list the four things in the simulation you can change below.

"sing the +&onstant ,arameter- section to the right of the simulation. #old first volume constant. 0d1ust the amount of gas molecules and the temperature and observe what is happening to the pressure of the system. 2. 3epeat the process above with +temperature- held constant. 4. 5ased on your observations, define the first property of gas molecules- pressure.

6. 3epeat Steps /-4, holding pressure and temperature constant and defining volume.

7. 3epeat Steps /-4, holding pressure and volume constant and defining temperature.

8. #ow does the amount of gas molecules present affect the three properties above pressure, volume, temperature!9
