BEHAVIOR OF GASES

What’s In
Let’s Do it
The volume of a gas is directly related to its temperature at Instruction: Convert the given measurements to the new units
constant pressure specified.
The pressure of a gas is directly related to its temperature at
constant temperature Conversion of Volume
The volume of a gas is inversely related to its pressure at constant 1. 22 mL = ___________ cm3
temperature 2. 18 dm3= ___________ L
The amount of a gas in amole is directly related to its volume at 3. 13 m3 = ____________ 1000 L
constant pressure and temperature 4. 3 mL = ____________ dm3
5. 5 dm3 = ___________ mL

The properties of gases can be varied. The relationship of these

properties can be quantified experimentally with the aid of the Conversion of Pressure
different laboratory apparatus or by using the different gas laws as 1. 2.5 atm = ___________ mm Hg
follows: 2. 5 atm = ___________ cm Hg
3. 7 atm = ____________ torr
4. 2 atm = ____________ Pa
5. 12 atm = ___________ psi

Conversion of Temperature

Commonly Used Units for Volume and Pressure

Not all gases behave ideally. Most of the gases found in nature
conform to the principles of Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, Gay-Lussac’s
Law, Avogadro’s Law and Combines Gas Law

The following conversion factors are useful in solving gas law related
problems:

Volume units and their equivalents:

1 mL = 1cm3 1L = 1dm3 1 m3= 1000 L

Pressure units and their equivalents:

1 atm = 760 mm Hg 1 atm = 101325 Pa
1 atm = 76 cm Hg 1 atm = 14.6956 psi
1 atm = 760 torr

Temperature units and their equivalents:
