temperature
3.Gases have relatively low viscosity
4.Most gases have relatively low densities on
normal conditions
5.Gases are miscible

Gas Laws
The Four Variables

Pressure (P)
Volume (V)
Temperature (T)
Number of moles (n)
Boyle’s Law
• -relationship between volume and
pressure
• -volume of gas is inversely related to its
pressure
Applications
1. Automobile Engines
-upward motion of piston reduces volume of gas
and increase the pressure.
Applications
• Medical Respirators
-Slight increase in volume of iron lung reduces
the pressure
Applications
Syringe
-plunger drawn back increase in volume creates
low pressure (vaccum)
Sample Problem 1

•A sample of oxygen gas has a


volume of 8.0L and a pressure of
1.0atm, what is the new pressure in
torr if the volume is decreased to
2.0L?
Sample Problem 2

•A sample of oxygen gas has a


volume of 20L at 740mmHg. What will
be the volume of gas at 2.00atm if
the temperature is constant?
Sample Problem 3
• A gas sample occupies a volume of 2.5L
at a pressure of 1.5 atm. What would be
the volume of the gas if its pressure is
reduced to 1 atm at same temperature?
Sample Problem 4

•The gas inside a balloon has a


volume of 15L and pressure of 2
atm. Calculate the pressure of the
gas if its volume is compressed to
10L at the same temperature.
Charle’s Law
• -relationship between volume and
temperature
• -volume of gas is directly proportional to
Kelvin temperature and constant
pressure
Sample Problem 5

•A sample of neon gas at 760 mmHg


has a volume of 10.0L and a
temperature of 34 degree C, find the
new volume of the gas after the
temperature has been increased to
75 degree C at 760 Torr.
Sample Problem 6

•At 30 degree C, the volume of a


sample of air was 5.8L. What would
be the volume of the air sample if it is
heated at 60 degree C at the same
pressure?
Sample Problem 7

•A given amount of oxygen has a


volume of 25.0L at a temperature of
37 degree C and a pressure of 1 atm,
at what temperature would this gas
occupy a volume of 22L at a
pressure of 1.0atm?
Gay Lussac’s Law
• -relationship between temperature and
pressure
• -states that the pressure of gas is directly
related to its Kelvin temperature
Sample Problem 8
• Aerosol cans can be dangerous when they are
heated because they can explode, suppose a can
of insecticide with a pressure of 4.0atm at room
temperature (28 degree C) is thrown into a fire. If
the temperature of the gas inside the can reaches
400 degree C, what will be its pressure?
• Would you expect the can to explode if the
maximum safe pressure is 8.0atm?
Sample Problem 9
• A fire extinguisher has a pressure of
150psi at 35 degree C, what is the
pressure in atmosphere if the fire
extinguisher is used at a temperature of
80 degree C?
Application
-when the pressure increases, the boiling point
also increases.
-most of the steams are trapped and water boils
at higher temperature.
Combined Gas Law
• -reference point for gases is 0 degree
Celsius and 1 atm pressure (standard
temperature and pressure)
• -enables to directly solve for change in
pressure, volume or temperature
Sample Problem 10
• A 30mL bubble is released from a divers
air tank at a pressure of 4.50 atm and
temperature of 15 degree C, what is the
volume of the bubble when it reaches
the ocean surface? Where the pressure
is 1 atm and the temperature is 20
degree C.
Sample Problem 11
• A weather balloon is filled with 16L of
helium at a temperature of 26 degree C
and a pressure of 700mmHg. What is the
pressure of the helium in the balloon in
the upper atmosphere when the
temperature is – 33 degree C and the
volume becomes 35L?
Avogadro’s Law
• -relationship between volume and moles
• -properties of a gas change when there
is a change in number of moles or grams
• -volume of 1mol of gas at 0 degree C,
1atm=22.4L
Sample Problem 12
• A balloon containing 2.00 moles of
helium with a volume of 880mL. What is
the new volume after 6.00 moles of
helium are added to the balloon at the
same temperature and pressure?
Sample Problem 13
• The volume of a gas sample at 0 degree C and 1
atm is 10L. How many moles of gas are contained
in the sample?

• 1mol gas, 0 degree C, 1 atm= 22.40L
