What Is It

The entire universe is made up of matter including humans, animals, plants,

and even the non-living things. There are three phases or states of matter, namely;
solid, liquid, and gas. Moreover, gas behaves differently from solids and liquids due to
differences in their molecular behavior. The movement of the gas is in random motion
due to the vast empty space in a certain system since the distance per particles are
far greater than the other two states of matter. Under some conditions of a gas sample,
it can be defined in terms of its variables; temperature, volume, moles, and pressure.

In the gaseous phase, molecules or the particles collide randomly against other
molecules and against its container or its system. This random collision resulted
changes in momentum which give way to the one of the property of gases called
pressure. Pressure as one of the variables defines as the amount of force exerted per
unit area. It refers to the force exerted by colliding molecules per unit area of container
walls.

 What’s More

Time to Ponder!
Direction. Reflect and make an essay about “Pressure in Everyday Life”. You may
use some facts, based in your daily experiences or relate it in the emotional aspects.
You may use an extra sheet of paper for this activity.

What Is It

What makes pressure quantifiable? How does pressure measured and

expressed? The following details are some of the units that can be used for pressure:
a. Standard Atmosphere (atm)  It is commonly Mercury Barometer
and widely used unit for pressure in chemistry. The
1 atm is equal to the pressure that supports a
column of mercury which is exactly 760 mmHg.
b. Torr (or mmHg)  mmHg means millimeter of Pressure Pressure
mercury, where it represents the pressure exerted
by a column of a mercury which exactly equals to
atmosphere. The unit mmHg is called torr, named
after the Italian scientist Evangelista Torricelli, who
also invented Barometer, a device used to measure
the atmospheric pressure.
c. Pounds per square inch (psi) If we say that gas
exerts a pressure of 20 psi, it means the pressure
on the wall of the gas container is 20 pounds or the

3
 force per square inch of the unit area. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is
14.7 psi.
d. kilopascal(kPa)  A kilopascal is equal to 1000 pascals (Pa). It is the standard
unit for pressure.

Conversion Factor:

1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 101.3 kPa = 14.7 psi

1 kPa = 1000Pa

 Lesson Gas Laws

What’s In

In lesson 1, you have learned about the definition of pressure, and the different
units that can be used to measure and express pressure which are the atmospheric
pressure (atm), millimeter of mercury (mmHg), pounds per square inch (psi), Pascal
(Pa), and kilopascal (kPa). Moreover, you have also learned one unit to another unit
of pressure, and able to show the solution for correct conversion.

Pressure is one of the variables that describes the properties of gases, so in

continuation, the next topic will help you learn about the other variables which are the
Volume(V), Temperature (T), amount in moles (n) that describes the behavior of gases
under certain condition and the laws that governs how it behaves.

What I Need to Know

Air is all around us, thus gases always involved in our daily activities, from
breathing down to automobile tires or bicycle, balloons, and even lifeboats and vest.
Life won’t be possible without this life-sustaining gas found in the atmosphere.

Scientist have always been curious about how gases behaves. And how it is
different compared to other states of matter. Investigations and experiments on the
behavior of gases leads to the parameters or variables that used to describe the
properties of gases aside from pressure, and these are volume, temperature, and the
amount in moles. The relationship between variables are explained by Gas Laws.

In addition, you will be able to use gas laws to determine pressure, volume,
temperature of a gas under certain conditions od change. Then, use the ideal gas
equation to calculate pressure, volume, temperature, or number of moles of a gas.

 What’s New

Graph Analysis
Direction: Based on the given graph, analyze and infer the relationship of the
properties of gases (volume, pressure, temperature, and moles). Write your answer at
the sides of the graph.

8
 What Is It

Gas Laws governs the behavior of gases and describes the relationship of the
following variables: Pressure, Volume, Temperature, and moles. The relationship
among the variables are led and investigated by Robert Boyle, Jacques Charles, and
Amedeo Avogadro, and the laws where named after them respectively.

Boyle’s Law
The law is named after its proponent, who is a British
chemist, Robert Boyle.
He emphasized the law correctly and stated that “The volume of
a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at
constant temperature”. It means, as the volume increases, the
pressure of the gas decreases, and vice versa, provided that the
temperature remains the same. Thus, it is evident that the
relationship between the two variables, volume and pressure is
inversely proportional.
Figure 1: Robert Boyle.
Image source [14]

Boyle’s Law is expressed in this mathematical equation:

In terms of proportion: V α 1/P (at constant amount and temperature)
In terms of equation: V = k/P (at constant amount and temperature)
PV=k or
P1V1 = P2 V2

Where;
P1 = initial pressure
V1 = initial volume
P2 = Final pressure
V2 = Final volume

Example: A 2.5 L container has a gas pressure of 4.6 atm. If the volume is
decreased to 1.6 L. What will be the new pressure inside the container?

Given: V1 = 2.5 L V2 = 1.6 L

P1= 4.6 atm P2 = ?

P1V1 = P2V2 , P2 = P1V1 / V2

= 1.6 atm (2.5 L)

1.6 L

= 7.2 atm

9
Charles’ Law
It is one of the gas laws and named after the French
scientist Jacques Charles who formulated the law in 1897.
This law states that “The volume of a given amount of gas
is directly proportional to its absolute temperature and
constant pressure.” It means that as the volume increases,
the temperature also increases, and vice versa, provided
that the amount of gas and the pressure is constant. The
temperature should be expressed in Kelvin (K).

Figure 2: Jacques Charles.

Image source [11]
Charles’ Law is expressed in this mathematical equation:
In terms of proportion: V α T (at constant amount and pressure)
In terms of equation: V = kT (at constant amount and pressure)
V / T =k or
V1 / T1= V2 / T2

Where;
V1 = initial volume
T1 = initial Temperature
V2 = Final volume
T2 = Final Temperature

Example: A 3.5 L flexible container holds a gas at 250 K. What will be the new
volume if the temperature is increased to 400K at constant pressure?

Given: V1 = 3.5 L V2 = ?
T1= 250 K T2 = 400K

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 ; V2 = V1T2 / T1

= 3.5 L (400K)
250 K

= 5.6 L

10
Avogadro’s Law
The proponent of this law is named after Amedeo
Avogadro, who is a notable Italian mathematical physicist.
This law state that “The volume of a gas at a given
temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the
number of moles contained in the volume”. This law is based
on Avogadro’s hypothesis that the same volume of two
gases at constant temperature and pressure contain the
same number of molecules. It means as the volume
increases the amount of substance or the moles also
increases, so the relationship is directly proportional. Keep
in mind that a mole is related to the quantity of molecules in Figure 3: Amedeo Avogadro.
Image source [15]
a substance.

Avogadro’s Law is expressed in this mathematical equation:

In terms of proportion: V α n (at constant temperature and pressure)
In terms of equation: V = k n (at constant temperature and pressure)
V / n =k or
V1 / n1= V2 / n2
Where;
V1 = initial volume
n1 = initial number of moles of the gas
V2 = Final volume
T2 = Final number of moles of the gas

Example: A 2.4 moles of gas occupies 60.0 L at a certain temperature. What volume
will 3.7 moles of a gas occupy?

Given: n1 = 2.4 moles n2 = 3.7 moles

V1= 60.0 L V2 = ?

V1 / n1 = V2 / n2 ; V1n2=n 1V2
V2 = V1 n2 / n1

= 60.0 L ( 3.7 moles)

2.4 moles

= 92.5 L

11
Ideal gas Equation

It is a single equation that sums up and combines the mathematical

expression of Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, and Avogadro’s Law.

PV = nRT

Where;
P = Pressure n= moles (refers to the amount of substance)
V= Volume T= Temperature (express in Kelvin (K))
R = The universal gas constant (0.0821 atm.L / mol.K)

The value of the universal gas constant (R) is the same anywhere and anytime. It
can be calculated using the using the standard conditions of mole, pressure, volume,
and temperature. The value can also be derived from the ideal gas equation as
shown below.

PV = nRT

R = PV = 1.00 atm x 22.4 L

nT 1.00 mole x 273 K

R = 0.0821 atm . L

Example:

A 3.5 L container holds 0.45 moles of O2 gas at 300K. What is the pressure
inside the container?

Given: V = 3.5 L T = 300 K

N = 0.45 moles P=?

PV = nRT ; P = nRT

 What Is It

Most of the gases encountered in the surroundings are mixtures. Mixtures are
composed of different components. An example of a mixture is air which is a
combination of primarily nitrogen and oxygen and other inert gases. Each individual
component in air exert its own pressure, has its own volume, can have a temperature
that is in thermal equilibrium with the other components, and also has its own molar
amount. This just means that the ideal gas equation can also be used on mixtures of
gases.

Say for example, a constant-volume piston shown below contains a sample of

flue gas, a by-product of combustion, which is composed of nitrogen (1), carbon
dioxide (2), and carbon monoxide (3) at a constant temperature of 30°C.

1
1 2

2 3

2

3

From the situation above, the number of moles of each component can be
interpreted as n1, n2, and n3 for nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide,
respectively, so that the total number of moles can be shown as:

𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑛1 + 𝑛2 + 𝑛3

The pressure exerted by the mixture can then be calculated using the ideal gas
equation:

𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑇
𝑃𝑚𝑖𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 =
𝑉
…where V is the volume of the container or in this case, the volume of the
constant-volume piston.

Substituting the two equations, the pressure of the mixture can be expressed
as:

(𝑛1 + 𝑛2 + 𝑛3 )𝑅𝑇
𝑃𝑚𝑖𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 =
𝑉
And distributing the ideal gas constant and temperature:

𝑛1 𝑅𝑇 𝑛2 𝑅𝑇 𝑛3 𝑅𝑇
𝑃𝑚𝑖𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 = + +
𝑉 𝑉 𝑉

16
 As you may recall, the term nRT/V is equal to P which means that the terms in
the right hand side of the equation equates to the pressure exerted by each individual
component.

𝑛1 𝑅𝑇 𝑛2 𝑅𝑇 𝑛3 𝑅𝑇
𝑃1 = 𝑃2 = 𝑃3 =
𝑉 𝑉 𝑉
Pressures P1, P2, and P3 are called the partial pressure of each gas.
Combining all the equations, it can be concluded that the pressure exerted by the
mixture is the sum of the pressures exerted by each component. This is known as the
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure.

𝑃𝑚𝑖𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 = 𝑃1 + 𝑃2 + 𝑃3

The application of Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure can help us learn about the
composition of each component in terms of mole fraction of the component.

𝑛1 𝑅𝑇 𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑇
𝑃1 = 𝑃𝑚𝑖𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 =
𝑉 𝑉
Combining these two equations gives the following expression:

𝑃1 𝑛1
= = 𝑥1
𝑃𝑚𝑖𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙

…where x1 is the mole fraction of component 1 in the mixture. Rearranging the

above equation leads to:

𝑃1 = 𝑃𝑚𝑖𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑥1

This means that the partial pressure of a component is equal to its mole fraction
multiplied to the pressure exerted by mixture.

 Summary

Gases are everywhere, it behaves differently from other states of matter. The
properties of gases are described by its variables or parameters namely; pressure,
temperature, volume, and the amount of substance or moles under some certain
conditions. The relationship between the variables are govern by gas laws. Gas laws
and categorized into three laws; Boyle’s Law, Charles’s Law, and Avogadro’s Law
which are named after their proponents and scientist who observed such properties of
gases.

Boyle’s law describes that the relationship of pressure and volume is inversely
proportional given that temperature is constant, for Charles’s Law, Volume and
Temperature is directly proportional at constant pressure. Avogadro’s law explains the
relationship between volume and the amount of substance (moles) is directly
proportional when pressure and temperature is constant. Then, the variables are
combined to form an ideal gas equation.

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure tells us that the pressure of each component
in a mixture is equivalent to its mole fraction multiplied to the total pressure exerted by
the mixture.
