TRUE or FALSE
noble gases are monoatomic gases
TRUE
differentiate gas and vapor
gas is a substance that is gaseous at ordinary temperatures and pressures, while vapor is the gaseous form of a substance that is usually a liquid or solid under those conditions
what is atmospheric pressure
force exerted by the weight of the air above us, which decreases with altitude and fluctuates with weather conditions
what is Standard Atmospheric Pressure
is the pressure that supports a column of mercury at exactly 760 mm (76 cm) high at 0 degrees Celsius at sea level, equivalent to 1 atm or 101.3 kPa

Boyle’s Law relationship and formula
Pressure-Volume
the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas
P1V1=P2V2
Charles’s Law relationship and formula
Temperature-Volume
volume of a fixed amount of gas maintained at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas
V1/T1=V2/T2
Gay-Lussac’s Law relationship and formula
Temperature-Pressure
pressure of a gas is proportional to temperature
P1/T1=P2T2
Avogadro’s Law relationship and formula
Volume- Amount
at constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas present
V1/n1=V2/n2
Ideal Gas Equation relationship and formula
ideal gas is a hypothetical gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior can be completely accounted for by the ideal gas equation
PV=nRT
