1. GAS LAWS
Add a picture or 2.

2. Pressure Remember: Pressure = Force / area or mass x gravity / area
Force = mass x gravity
Get rid of per…use force/area.
Explain force: mass x gravity so pressure = mass x gravity/area
Remember to explain what the pictures mean wrt pressure…that molecules exert an outward pressure on their container.

3. Measuring Pressure Devices used: Barometer-Invented by Torricelli
Pressure Gauge
Tire Gauge
Sphygmomanometer
What was invented by Torricelli?
Explain what each does and how it uses pressure (actually this might be a good unit project)

4. Units of Pressure
Standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm) = mm Hg or 760 torr (1 mm Hg = 1 torr)
In the United States we use inches in atmospheric pressure.
Pascal- used in science as a unit of pressure (Pa).
Kilopascals are used as well (KPa).
Good…remember periods…kids notice grammatical errors or omissions

5. Practice How many torrs are in 4.5 atm?
The barometer reads 1,760 torr, how many atm?
I have a reading of 3700 torr, convert to atm.
You have 3 atm, how many torr?
good

6. Boyle’s Law Shows the relationship between Pressure and Volume
The Law assumes that the temperature does not change
Discovered by Robert Boyle
What assumes? Boyle’s Law.
What does the lower right picture have to do with the law? You will need to explain it.
Some of the kids are going to struggle with volume…they know what it is but may have problems calculating it.

7. Boyle’s Law P1V1 = P2V2 P1= Pressure 1 V1= Volume 1 P2= Pressure 2
This formula works with any unit of Pressure (torr, Pa)
Any unit of volume works (mL, L).
Make sure you have the same units on both sides! If not, change one to match the other.
If one side has mL and the other has L, convert one to match the other.
Make sure it is written somewhere on the slide what P1, P2, V1, and V2 mean. The kids need to be able to go back to the lecture during homework and be reminded of how to do things.
Add the possible units of volume….L, ml, etc is fine.
Explain your 3rd statement

8. Boyle’s Law
A gas measured a volume of 100 mL under pressure of 740 torr. What would be the volume under a pressure of 780 torr with constant temperature?
Step 1: Figure out what you have.
P1 = 740 torr
V1= 100 mL
P2= 780 torr
V2= X
good

9. Boyle’s Law Step 2: Plug the numbers into the formula P1V1 = P2V2
(740 torr)(100 mL) = (780 torr)(X)
Step 3: Solve for x
74000 = 780X
X= mL
Get rid of the bullets on the formula and solving for x work…keep on step 2 and 3

10. Boyle’s Law So the new volume in this case is 94.87 mL
Since we increased the pressure, the volume is decreased.
The formula is a proportion. If something increases, something else will decrease!
Explain directly and indirectly proportional.
Include a picture with this so they can see what you are talking about…eg balloons changing volume under pressure. They are going to get very confused with this cuz it is kind of abstract.

12. Practice
P1V1 = P2V2
A sample of gas is confined to a 100 mL flask under pressure of 740 torr. If the same gas were transferred to a 50 mL flask, what’s the new pressure?
P2 = P1V1/V2
P1 =
V1 =
P2 =
V2 =
740 torr
100 ml X
50 ml
P2 = (740)(100)/50
good
P2 = 74000/50
P2 = 1480 torr

13. Practice
P1V1 = P2V2
2. You are given a gas that you measure under a pressure of 720 Pa. When the pressure is changed to 760 Pa, the volume became 580 mL. What is the first volume?
V1 = P2V2/P1
P1 =
V1 =
P2 =
V2 =
720 Pa X
760 Pa
580 ml
V1 = (760)(580)/720
good
V1 = /720
V1 = ml

14. P1V1 = P2V2
Practice
A pressure on 134 mL of air is changed to 1200 torr at a constant temperature, if the new volume is 45 mL what is the original pressure?
P1 = P2V2/V1
P1 =
V1 =
P2 =
V2 = X
134 ml
1200 torr
45 ml
P1 = (1200)(45)/134
good
P1 = 54000/134
P1 = torr

15. P1V1 = P2V2
Practice
4. An amount of Oxygen occupies 2 L when under pressure of 680 torr. If the volume is increased to 3 L what is the new pressure?
P2 = P1V1/V2
P1 =
V1 =
P2 =
V2 =
680 torr
2 L X 3L
P2 = (740)(100)/50
good
P2 = 74000/50
P2 = 1480 torr

16. Reminders Check your units
Temperature must remain constant in Boyle’s Law.
P= Pressure (torr, Pa, KPa).
V= Volume (mL, L).
Remind them here of what p and v are.
Add pictures to show volume and pressure.
Add periods.
“If you don’t exhale on your way up Cookie, your lungs will explode!
Robert De Niro as Chief Saturday

18. When the temperature increases, the volume increases.
Good picture…might want to add some explanation so they can look back and remember what the slide was about.

19. Charles Law
Shows a relationship between Volume and Temperature. One thing increase, so does the other. Both behave the same way.
Pressure remains constant.
V= Volume
T= Temperature
Good…make sure to explain the proportion happening here

20. Few things first… ALL TEMPERATURES MUST BE CONVERTED TO KELVIN!
The Law only works with Kelvin
If you have Celsius, make sure you convert it to Kelvin.
Remember Kelvin = Celsius + 273

25. Gay-Lussac’s Law P1/T1 = P2/T2
Shows relationship between pressure (P) and temperature (T). If Temperature increases, so does the pressure.
Based on Charles’ Law.
Volume remains constant.
Like Charles’ Law, all temperature units must be in KELVIN.
Used in pressure cookers and autoclaves.

26. Practice
P1/T1 = P2/T2
A soda bottle with a temperature of 25ºC and 3 atm of pressure was put into a freezer with a temperature of –1°C. What is the pressure on the bottle inside the freezer?

27. Combined Gas Law
Combines Boyle’s Law, Gay-Lussac’s Law, and Charles’ Law.
Shows the relationship of Pressure, Volume and Temperature.
Have you explained gay-lussacs law? How can they get the combined law without it? Add pictures

28. Combined Gas Law Derived from Boyle’s, Gay-Lussac, and Charles Law.
Used when both temperature and pressure changes.
Can be used to find a constant.
If two things increase, one thing will decrease.
Math was used to derive the law.
Remember to explain the proportions…as one goes up, what goes down/up?

29. 1. A gas has a volume of 800. 0 mL at -23. 00 °C and 300. 0 torr

30. Remember this…
When you are working with Charles’ Law and Combined Gas Law, make sure you have the proper units!
The laws help us predict the behavior of gases under different circumstances.
Go back and explain why all these laws are needed…the kids need reasoning behind what they are learning…helps it stick and helps them want to learn more (sometimes)

31. How is this possible?

32. Avogadro’s Law V1/n1 = V2/n2
Allows us to calculate the number of moles (n) of a gas with in a volume (V).
Pressure and Temperature remains the same.
If volume increases, so does the number of moles.

34. Practice
V1/n1 = V2/n2
In 150 mL sample, there are 2.5 grams of Cl2 gas, if I double the volume to 300 mL how much Cl2 gas in moles, is in the new sample?

35. Ideal gas law Formula: PV= nRT P= Pressure in atmospheres
V= Volume in Liters
n= number of moles of a gas
R= constant, L • atm / mol • K
T= Temperature in Kelvin

36. Ideal Gas Law
An ideal gas is a gas that obeys Boyle’s and Charles’ Law.
Based on the Kinetic Theory.
Shows the relationship between Pressure, Volume, number of moles and Temperature.
Make sure everything has the proper unit.
Can be used to figure out density of gas or determine the behavior of a tire.

37. Practice
