GAS LAW(UNGRADED)

Topic: Gas Laws
Have you ever wondered how gases behave? This module will introduce you to
the properties of gases and the four variables of gases concerned when dealing with
gases. The variables are Temperature (T) , Pressure (P), Volume and the quantity of
gas in a molecule (n). Equations that express the relationship between these four
variables are called gas laws.
Boyle’s Law states that if the temperature is held constant , the volume of a
given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. Mathematically , Boyle’s
Law is expressed as P1V1=P2V2.
Charle’s Law states that for a given amount of gas at a constant pressure , the
volume is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvin. Charles law expressed in
equation form as V1/T1=V2/T2
Gay Lussac’s Law states if the volume is held constant , the temperature in
Kelvin is inversely proportional to its pressure. This relationship is expressed by the
equation: P1T1=P2T2.
Combined Gas Laws combines the three gas laws: Boyle's Law, Charles' Law,
and Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume
and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant. This can be expressed as
P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2.
Ideal Gas Laws referred to as the perfect gas equation simply states that the
pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas are related to the number of moles by the
following equation PV=nRT , where R is a gas constant 0.082057 L*atm /mol*k .
Here comes the tricky part when it comes to the gas constant, R. Value of R
WILL change when dealing with different units of pressure and volume (Temperature
factor is overlooked because temperature will always be in Kelvin instead of Celsius
when using the Ideal Gas equation). Only through the appropriate value of R will you
get the correct answer to the problem. It is simply a constant, and the different values of
R correlate accordingly with the units given. When choosing a value of R, choose the
one with the appropriate units of the given information (sometimes given units must be
converted accordingly). Here are some commonly used values of R:
Values of R
0.082057 L atm mol-1 K-1
62.364 L Torr mol-1 K-1
8.3145 m3 Pa mol-1 K-1
8.3145 J mol-1 K-1*
STANDARD CONDITIONS
If in any of the laws, a variable is not give, assume that it is given. For constant
temperature, pressure and amount:
1. Absolute Zero (Kelvin): 0 K = -273.15 oC
T(K) = T(oC) + 273.15 (unit of the temperature must be Kelvin)
2. Pressure: 1 Atmosphere (760 mmHg)
3. Amount: 1 mol = 22.4 Liter of gas
4. In the Ideal Gas Law, the gas constant R = 8.3145 Joules · mol-1 · K-1 = 0.082057 L ·
atm·K-1 · mol-1
Practice!
Direction: Answer the following equations below using the formula above.
(depending on the given and unknown in the following questions.)
Note: Please show your complete solution.
1. A 40 L balloon is filled with gas at 4 atm. What will be the new volume at
standard pressure at 1 atm.
Given:
P1 = 4 atm
V1 = 40 L
P2 = 1 atm
Unknown: V2
Formula: P1V1=P2V2
Solution:
P1V1=P2V2
(4 atm)(40L)=(1 atm)V2
V2 = ((4 atm)(40L))/1 atm
V2 = 160 L
Answer: V2 = 160 L
2. Compute the decrease in temperature when 2.0L at 280 K is compressed
to 1.5 L?
Given:
V1 = 2.0L
T1 = 280K
V2 = 1.5L
Unknown: T2
Formula: V1/T1=V2/T2
Solution:
V1/T1=V2/T2
2.0L/280K=1.5L/T2
T2(2.0L/280K) = (1.5L/T2)T2
T2(2.0L/280K) = 1.5L
T2(2.0L/280K)/ (2.0L/280K) = 1.5L/(2.0L/280K)
T2 = 210K
Answer: T2 = 210K
3. A bicycle tire was inflated to a pressure of 3.74 atm during early morning
when the temperature was 15 degrees celsius. At noon time , the
temperature rose to 35 degrees celsius . What was the resulting pressure
in the tire assuming the volume did not change?
Given:
P1 = 3.74 atm
T1 = 15 degrees Celsius = 15°C + 273.15 = 288.15K
T2 = 35 degrees Celsius = 35°C + 273.15 = 308.15K
Unknown: P2
Formula: P1T1=P2T2
Solution:
P1T1=P2T2
(3.74 atm)(288.15K)=P2(308.15K)
P2 = ((3.744 atm)( 288.15K))/ 308.15K
P2 = 3.497 atm
Answer: P2 = 3.497 atm
