• Lesson 5.1- Gas Laws

    Learning Goals:  Today you will be able to :

    • explain states of matter in terms of intermolecular forces and the motion of particles
    • perform and Express Lab to determine if gases occupy space
    • describe a gas using the kinetic molecular theory
    • communicate your understanding of the following terms and concepts: condensation, kinetic molecular theory of gases, ideal gas
    • Solve problems using Boyle’s law
    • Perform laboratory experiments investigating the effects of temperature changes on the volume of gases
    • Solve problems using Charles’ law and Gay-Lussac’s law
    • Convert units between the Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales
    • Communicate your understanding of the following terms: Kelvin scale, absolute zero, Charles’ law, Gay-Lussac’s law

    Success Criteria:

    By the end of class: I must:

    • have a clear concept of Ideal gas, gas behavior and theory behind the gas law.
    • Explain the quantitative relationship between T, V & n and P

    • Use the combined gas law and related gas laws (Boyles, Charles‘), to compute the  values of various gas properties under specified conditions
