The Gas Laws

The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that
relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would
hold to approximation for all gases.

Steps in Problem Solving:

1) Write the given in the problem. Remember the units of the following:
• For pressure units used are mm Hg, torr, atm, and Pa
• For volume units used are mL and L
• For temperature unit used is K. To convert 0C to K, just add 273 to 0C
2) Write the required or missing in the problem.
3) Write the correct formula.
4) Show your complete solution. Show unit cancellations as possible.
5) If your final answer is decimal number, report your final answer up to two decimal places.

Boyle’s Law states that under a constant temperature when the pressure on a gas increases its volume decreases.
In other words, according to Boyle’s law volume is inversely proportional to pressure when the temperature and
the number of molecules is constant.
Formula: 𝐏𝟏 𝐕𝟏 = 𝐏𝟐 𝐕𝟐

Where: P1 = initial pressure V1 = initial volume

P2 = final pressure V2 = final volume
Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure and for constant mass, the volume of a gas is directly proportional
to the temperature.
Formula: 𝐕𝟏 𝐕𝟐
=𝐓
𝐓𝟏 𝟐

Where: V1 = initial volume T1 = initial temperature

V2 = final volume T2 = final temperature
Amonton’s Law states that the pressure of an ideal gas varies directly with the absolute temperature when the
volume of the sample is held constant.
Formula: 𝐏𝟏 𝐏𝟐
=
𝐓𝟏 𝐓𝟐
Where: P1 = initial pressure T1 = initial temperature
P2 = final pressure T2 = final temperature
Combined Gas Law is a combination of Boyle's Law, Charles' Law and Amonton’s Law. The relationship between
pressure, volume, and absolute temperature are all present in the combined gas law. It is written mathematically
as:
𝐏𝟏 𝐕𝟏 𝐏𝟐 𝐕𝟐
Formula: =
𝐓𝟏 𝐓𝟐

Where: P1 = initial pressure V1 = initial volume T1 = initial temperature

P2 = final pressure V2 = final volume T2 = final temperature

Activity # 1. Solve the following problem completely. Use your back portion of your paper for your
complete solution. (60 points)

Boyle’s Law

1) If 22.5 L of nitrogen at 748 mm Hg are compressed to 725 mm Hg at constant temperature. What is the
new volume?

2) What pressure is required to compress 196.0 liters of air at 1.00 atmosphere into a cylinder whose volume
is 26.0 liters?

Charles’ Law

3) If 15.0 liters of neon at 25.0°C is allowed to expand to 45.0 liters, what must the new temperature be to
maintain constant pressure?

4) A container containing 5.00 L of a gas is collected at 100 K and then allowed to expand to 20.0 L. What
must the new temperature be in order to maintain the same pressure (as required by Charles' Law)?

Amonton’s Law

5) A car tire has a pressure of 2.38 atm at 15.2°C. If the pressure inside reached 4.08 atm, the tire will explode.
How hot would the tire have to get for this to happen?

6) A gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 125 000 Pa at 30 0C. Determine the temperature in the
container if the pressure is increased to 201 000 Pa.

Combined Gas Law

7) A gas balloon has a volume of 106.0 liters when the temperature is 45°C and the pressure is 740.0 mm of
mercury. What will its volume be at 20°C and 780 .0 mm of mercury pressure?

8) A gas is heated from 263 K to 298 K and the volume is increased from 24 liters to 35 liters by moving a large
piston within a cylinder. If the original pressure was 1 atm, what would the final pressure be?
