GASES
MELC: Investigate the relationship
between:
1. Volume and pressure at a constant
temperature of a gas;
2. Volume and temperature at a
constant pressure of a gas; and
explain these relationship using
the kinetic molecular theory

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GAS
Most likely empty space because of wide distance between
these tiny particles, thus gases are highly compressible and
low density.

WORD PROBLEM
• A balloon contains 7.2L of He. The pressure is
reduced to 2.00 atm and the balloon expands to
occupy a volume of 25.1 L. What was the initial
pressure exerted on the balloon?
A Gas exerts a 3kPa on the walls of container 1. When
container 1 is emptied into a 10-liter container, the
pressure exerted by the gas increases to 6 kPa. Find the
initial volume of container 1. Assuming the
temperature and quantity of the gas remains constant.
In an industrial process, a gas confined to a volume of
1 liter at a pressure of 20 atm is allowed to flow into a
12-L container by opening the valve that connects the
two containers. What is the final pressure of the gas?
• A gas occupies a volume of 14.0 L at a pressure of 860
mmHg. What will be the volume of the gas be if the
pressure is changed to 740 mmHg while the
temperature remains constant?
BOYLE’S LAW APPLICATION
BY PAIR:
WORD PROBLEM:
1. A sample of oxygen gas ( an initial volume of 12.0 L
and a pressure of 1.0 atm. What is the new pressure
if the volume is decreased to 4.0 L?
2. Give one real-life application of Boyle’s Law and
explain the relationship of pressure and volume.
