properties of gas
- High kinetic energy
–Travel in straight lines until they collide
–There is a lot of empty space between the
particles
is the force exerted
per unit area
pressure
is an evacuated glass
tube, the tip of which is submerged in a
pool of mercury (Hg).

here is an inverse
relationship between
volume and pressure.
Boyle’s Law
The volume of a fixed amount of gas (n) at
a constant pressure (P) increases linearly
with increasing temperature (in kelvins).
Charles’ Law
If the lines are extrapolated back to a volume of “0,”
they all show the same temperature,
absolute zero
volume directly proportional to the
number of gas molecules when P
and T are constant
avogadro’s law
The simple gas laws can be combined into a
single law –
ideal gas law
gas constant.
R
is used to
compare the properties of different gases.
A standard set of conditions
are U-shaped tubes partially
filled with a liquid that is connected to the
gas sample on one side and open to
the air on the other.
manometers
measure of the gas pressure relative to
atmospheric pressure.
