level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with
the textbook you are now using.

Learning Competencies
 Define pressure and give the common units of pressure
(STEM_GC11G-Ihi-43)
 Use the gas laws to determine pressure, volume, or temperature of a gas
under certain conditions of change (STEM_GC11G-Ihi-45)
 Use the ideal gas equation to calculate pressure, volume, temperature or
number of moles of a gas (STEM_GC11G-Ihi-46)
 Use Dalton’s law of partial pressures to relate mole fraction and partial
pressures of gases in a mixture (STEM_GC11DLIi-47)

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Gas Laws

 Lesson 2 – Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure

 Lesson 1 Gas Laws

Matter in a gaseous state has no definite shape and no definite volume.

Molecules of gases move freely and it has high kinetic energy. It expands rapidly and
becomes uniformly distributed in a closed container. It may undergo expansion and
compression. Gases also exert pressure. In this lesson you will learn more about
gases; on how to determine pressure, volume, absolute temperature, and numbers
of moles of a gas.

What’s In
You have studied about the states of matter: A solid has a fixed shape and
volume, its particles are tightly packed and vibrate at a fixed point. Liquids have an
indefinite shape but definite volume, its particles are tightly packed but far enough
to slide over to one another. Gas has indefinite shape and volume, its particles of
are very far apart and move freely. Plasma is an ionized gas.

Gases behave differently from solids and liquids due to their differences in
their molecular behavior. From this behavior of gases as explained by kinetic
theory, gas laws are derived.

What’s New
Gas laws relate to its volume, pressure, temperature and number of moles of
a gas. To understand fully the concept of gas laws, describe the principle in each
picture.

Activity 1.1: Describe the principle of each picture.

 What Is It

Pressure is an important property of a gas. It is defined as force per unit

area. It is measured by an instrument called barometer, invented by Evangelista
Torricelli. The standard atmospheric pressure is 1 atmosphere (atm). There are
different units used to measure pressure based from 1 atmospheric pressure:
1 atm = 760 mmHg 1 mmHg = 1 torr
1 atm = 760 torr 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 101.325 kPa

Gas Laws:
1. Boyle’s Law: states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its
volume at a constant temperature. It was discovered by Robert Boyle.
Formula: P1V1 = P2V2
where: P1, P2 = initial and final pressure; atm, mmHg or torr
V1, V2 = initial and final volume; ml, L
Example:
A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 15 L at 630 mm Hg. What is the new
volume when the pressure changes to 210 mmHg?
Given:
P1 = 630 mmHg P2 = 210 mmHg
V1 = 15 L
Required: V2 = ?
Solution:
V2 = V1 x P1
P2
V2 = 15 L x 630 mmHg = 45 L
210 mmHg
Answer:
V2 = 45 L (as pressure decreases, volume increases)

2. Charles’ Law: states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its
absolute temperature at constant pressure. It was discovered by Jacques-
Alexandre Charles.
Formula: V1 = V2
T1 T2
where: T1, T2 = initial and final absolute temperature; K
V1, V2 = initial and final volume; ml, L
Example:
A balloon has a volume of 870 ml at 17°C. At what temperature will the volume of
the balloon be 450 ml?
Given:
V1 = 870 ml V 2 = 450 ml
T1 = 17 + 273 = 290 K

City of Good Character 3

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
Required: T2 = ?
Solution:
T2 = T1 x V2
V1
T2 = 290 K x 450 mL = 150 K
870 mL
Answer:
T2 = 150 K (as volume decreases, temperature also decreases)

3. Gay-Lussac’s Law: states that pressure is directly proportional to its absolute

temperature at constant volume. It was discovered by Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac.
Formula: P1 = P2
T1 T2
where: P1, P2 = initial and final pressure; atm, mmHg, torr
T1, T2 = initial and final absolute temperature; K
Example:
A gas has a pressure of 1.25 atm at 250 K. What is the pressure at 650 K?
Given:
T1 = 250 K T2 = 650 K
P1 = 1.25 atm
Required:
P2 = ?
Solution:
P2 = P1 x T2
T1
P2 = 1.25 atm x 650 K = 3.25 atm
250 K
Answer:
P2 = 3.25 atm (as temperature increases, pressure also increases)

4. Avogadro’s Law: states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the
number of moles at constant pressure and temperature. It was discovered by
Amedeo Avogadro.
Formula: V1 = V2
n1 n2
where: V1, V2 = initial and final volume; ml, L
n1, n2 = initial and final number of moles, mol
Example:
3.2 L of a gas has 0.54 mole. How many moles of this gas are present in 6.8 L of a
gas?
Given:
V1 = 3.2 L V 2 = 6.8 L
n1 = 0.54 mole
Required: n2 = ?
Solution:
n2 = n1 x V2
V1

4 City of Good Character

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
 n2 = 0.54 mol x 6.8 L
3.2 L
Answer:
n2 = 1.15 mol (as volume increases, the number of moles also increases)

5. Ideal Gas Law: is also called the general gas equation. It was first stated by
Emile Clapeyron in 1834. It is the combination of Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law,
Avogadro’s Law and Gay-Lussac’s Law
Formula:
PV = nRT 0r PV = mRT
Mm
where:
P = pressure (in atm) V = volume (in L)
T = absolute temperature (in K) n = moles (mol)
m = mass (g) Mm = molar mass (g/mol)
R = universal gas constant, 0.08205 L atm

ideal gas law. Gases as you have learned behave differently, when they mixed in a
closed container they act independently. They exert individual pressures on the wall
of the container. In this lesson, we will continue discussing another gas law dealing

 What Is It

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of a mixture
of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas. The pressure
exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. It was
discovered by John Dalton. According to him, each gas in a mixture acts
independently with one another in exerting a force on the wall of the container.

Formula:
PT = Pgas1 + Pgas2 + Pgas3 + …
where:
PT = total pressure
Pgas1, Pgas2,Pgas3 = partial pressure of each gas

Assuming we have a mixture of ideal gases, we can use the ideal gas law to solve
problems involving gases in a mixture

P = nRT
V
Dalton's law can also be expressed using the mole fraction of a gas,

Formula:
mole fraction = pressure fraction
n1 = P1
nT PT
where:
n1 = number of moles of a gas
nT = total number of moles of gas mixture
P1 = partial pressure of a gas
PT = total pressure of gas mixture
Example:
1. What is the total pressure in atmospheres of mixture of three gases with partial
pressures of 1.25 atm, 0.55 atm and 0. 32 atm?
Given:
P1 = 1.25 atm
P2 = 0.55 atm
P3 = 0.32 atm
Required: PT = ?
Solution:
PT = P1 + P2 + P3
= 1.25 atm + 0.55 atm + 0.32 atm
= 2.12 atm
Answer: PT = 2.12 atm

2. What is the partial pressure of O2 if the total pressure of a container with both
N2 and O2 is 800 mmHg, and the partial pressure of N2 is 632 mmHg.
Given:
PN2 = 632 mmHg
PT = 800 mmHg
Required:
PO2 = ?
Solution:
PT = PO2 + PN2
PO2 = PT - PN2
= 800 mmHg – 632 mmHg
Answer:
PO2 = 168 mmHg

3. A mixture of 4.8 g of CO 2 and 4.8 g of N2 exerts a pressure of 1.5 atm. What is

the partial pressure of N2 gas?
Given:
mCO2 = 4.8 g
mN2 = 4.8 g
PT = 1.5 atm
Required:
PN2 = ?
Solution:
PN2 = nN2 x PT
nT
Find the number moles of each gas: n = m/Mm
nT = nCO2 + nN2
= 4.8 g + 4.8 g
44 g/mol 28 g/mol
= 0.11 mol + 0.17 mol
nT = 0.28 mol

then solve for PN2, substitute the given:

PN2 = nN2 x PT
nT
= 0.17 mol x 1.5 atm = 0.91 atm
0.28 mol
Answer:
PN2 = 0.91 atm

Another illustration of Dalton’s Law of partial pressure is by collecting gas over

water. When water evaporates, the vapor has a pressure. The water vapor pressure
must be subtracted from the total pressure, depending on the temperature.

Given:
PT = 735 mmHg
PH2O = 17.5 mmHg
Required: PO2 =?
Solution:
PO2 = PT – PH2O
