Charles’s Law
Charles’s Law
This law examines
the relationship
between Volume and
Temperature
The volume occupied
by a gas is directly
proportional to the
Kelvin temperature

Sample Problem
What volume will 500. mL of a gas occupy if
the temperature is changed from 0°C to 50°C
?
Make sure that you convert °C - K
Always identify the variables - T1, T2, V1,
and V2.

*Pressure is constant
Gay-Lussac’s Law
Gay-Lussac’s Law
This law states that the pressure of a
gas is directly proportional to the
Kelvin temperature.
As the pressure goes up, the
temperature also goes up, and vice-
versa.

Avogadro’s Law
Avogadro’s Hypothesis
Equal volumes of gases under the same
conditions of temperature and pressure
will contain equal number of particles
Same Volume
1.0 L 1.0 L
He HCl
❖For a gas at constant temperature and
pressure, the volume is directly
proportional to the number of moles of
gas (at low pressures).
V = a.n
a = proportionality constant
V = volume of the gas
n = number of moles of gas
Combined Gas Law
Boyle’s + Charles’s
+ Avogadro’s
The combined gas law simply deals
with both change in pressure and
change in temperature.
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Notice -
Since the temperature is decreasing it will decrease the
value for V1 (direct relationship)
Since the pressure is decreasing it will increase the value
for V1 (inverse relationship)

Graham’s Law of Diffusion
Diffusion - the movement of particles
from a region of high concentration to
a region of low concentration
Effusion - the movement of particles
from a region of high concentration to
a region of low concentration through
a small orifice (small opening)
Graham’s Law (cont.)
In very simple terms, the law suggests that lighter
particles (atoms or molecules) move faster than
heavier particles.

1. The volume of a gas molecule is negligible compared
to the volume it can occupy as a result of its motion

Gases & Solubility
As temperature increases the solubility of a gas
will decrease
✓ when gases normally go into solution it is an
exothermic process and for that reason when
the temperature of solutions of gases in liquids
increases the solubility decreases
✓ Like your soda going flat when you leave it out
on a warm day - the increased temperature
causes the CO2 to come out of solution
Ideal vs Real
We assume that the volume of a gas molecule is
negligible and there are no attractive forces
between gas molecules under “normal” conditions.
In reality, gas molecules do have a measureable
volume and there are weak attractive forces
(either dipole-dipole or van derWaals forces or
possibly both). So, under “normal” conditions,
both the attractive forces and the molecule
volume are considered negligible.
Under conditions of – high pressure and
low temperature gas behavior varies from
the gas laws.
1.High pressure – molecules are pushed
close together and the attractive forces,
although weak, pull the molecules together.
2. Low temperature – molecules move more
slowly (lower KE) and the weak attractive
forces become more important as molecules
come close to each other.
Ideal vs Real
So, gases behave most ideally at high temperatures
(molecules are moving too fast for the weak attractive
forces to have an effect) and low pressures/large
volumes (molecules are so far apart that the
attractive forces and molecule volume are
insignificant).
