II. PROCEDURES
Preliminary Activities
 Opening Prayer
 Checking of Attendance

A. Activity
 The teacher will group the students into four. They are going to have a race game
called “Paburota ko be”. The teacher will present five balloons in every group.
They will be given 30 seconds to finish the task. The first group to inflate the five
balloons will be the winner.

B. Analysis
 The teacher will ask the students based on the race game.
- What makes the balloon inflate?
- What have you observed to the size of the balloon while you were inserting
air?

 The teacher will show picture of two containers with gas particles inside and ask
question.
- How does the applied pressure affect the molecules inside the container and
its volume?

C. Abstraction
 The teacher will present the first Gas Law which is the Boyle’s Law.
 The teacher will ask the students who formulated the Boyle’s Law.
 The teacher will present a little background information of Robert William
Boyle.
  The teacher will ask the students about the volume, pressure and temperature in
relation to gas.
 The teacher will show pictures of an air pump with the given amount of volume,
pressure at constant temperature. Let the student’s guest what was stated in the
Boyle’s Law based on the picture being presented.

 The teacher will present the Boyle’s Law equation.

 The teacher will let the students to derived the formula if being required is the
final volume and final pressure.
 The teacher will present a sample problem.

Sample problem:
A balloon with a volume of 2.0 L is filled with a gas at 3 atm. If the pressure is
reduced to 0.5 atm without a change in temperature, what would be the volume of
the balloon?

D. Application
 With the same group of students the teacher will assigned every group with a
problem. Group 1 will answer problem number 1, group 2 will answer problem
number 2, group 3 will answer problem number 3 and group 4 will answer
problem number 4.

Group 1:A 1.50 L sample of methane gas exerts a pressure of 1650 mm Hg.
What is the final pressure if the volume changes to 7.00 L?

Group 2:A volume of 100 m3 of hydrogen is compressed at constant temperature

until its pressure rises from 84 cm Hg to 120 cm Hg. What is the final volume of
the hydrogen?

Group 3:A sample of oxygen gas (O2) has a volume of 3.0 L at an initial pressure
of 760 torr. The same amount of gas at the same temperature was transferred to a
12.0 L container. What is the pressure of the (O2) gas in the new container?

Group 4:A container holds 500 ml of CO2 at 20˚C and 600torr. What will be the
volume of the CO2 if the pressure is increased to 400torr?

 The teacher will ask one representative from every group to present and explain
their answers.
 With the same group of student, the teacher will ask the students to investigate
and discussed the picture that was given to them on how does it relate to boyle’s
law.
Group 1 Group 2

Group 5

 Aside from the given instances in real life situation explained by the students the
teacher will give another example that Boyle’s Law could be applied in real life
situation.
Example: When someone raises his/her temper in order to avoid conflict someone
must reduce his/her temper.

III. EVALUATION
Direction: Investigate the relationship between volume and pressure at constant temperature
of a gas by solving the given problems by using the equation in boyle’s law.

1. A cylinder of a scuba tank has a volume of 1500 mL with the pressure of 100
atm. The volume of a cylinder was changed to 11.25 mL. What is the final
pressure exerted on the scuba tank at constant temperature?

2. A gas tank can hold 25.0 L of helium (He) gas at a pressure of 6.0 atm. What is
the final volume if the pressure was decreased to 0.50 atm at constant
temperature?

3. A sample of air occupies 3.0 L when the pressure is 1.3 atm. If the temperature is
kept constant, what pressure is needed to reach the final volume of 1.25 L?

4. A gas, which is occupying a volume of 700 ml at a pressure of 085 atm, is

allowed to expand (at constant temperature) until the pressure becomes 0.35 atm.
What will be the final volume of the gas?

IV. ASSIGNMENT
Direction: Investigate the relationship between volume and pressure at constant temperature
of a gas by solving the given problems by using the equation in boyle’s law.

1. A volume of 50m3 of Neon gas is compressed until its volume becomes 12.5m 3.
The original pressure acting on the gas was 2.0 x 10 5nt/m2. What is the pressure
acting on it at its new volume?

2. A cylinder with a height of 0.20 m and a cross-sectional area of 0.040 m 2 has a

close fitting piston that may be moved to change the internal volume of the
cylinder. Air at atmospheric pressure (1.01 x 10 5 N/m2) fills the cylinder. If the
piston is pushed until it is within 0.12m of the end of the cylinder, what is the
new pressure of the air? Assume that the temperature of the gas remains constant
and that the volume of gas in the gauge is small compared with the volume of the
cylinder.
