States Of Matter Pressure Volume

4
G. Behavior of Gases 1. Gas pressure is caused by collisions of gas particles on surfaces. 2. Pressure is measured in pascals. 3. 1 Pa = 1 N / m^2 4. Standard air pressure at sea level is 101.3 kPa … this is the same pressure as a big truck (14.7 pounds / sq. inch).

G. Behavior of Gases1. Gas pressure is caused by collisions of gas particles on surfaces.

2. Pressure is measured in pascals.3. 1 Pa = 1 N / m^24. Standard air pressure at sea level is 101.3 kPa … this is the same pressure as a big truck (14.7 pounds / sq. inch).5. We normally use “atm” for problems

6. Boyle’s Law

a. The volume of a gas varies inversely with its pressure if temperature remains constant.

b. P1 • V1 = P2 • V2

Volume of the gas inside the cylinder

will decrease

Pushing the plunger down will increase the pressure

7. Charles’s Law

a. The volume of a gas varies directly with its temperature if pressure remains constant.

b. V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

8. Gay-Lussac’s Law

Pressure varies directly with temperature if volume remains

constant.
