Tell me what is CHEMISTRY,

without telling me what is

CHEMISTRY!
Chemistry
is involved
ineverything
we do.
So…what is CHEMISTRY is all about?

It’s all about MATTER!

Learning Task 2: The FOUR Measurable Gas Properties
 Learning Task 2: The FOUR Measurable Gas Properties
___________1. It is the result of the collision of gas particles with
the walls of the container. It can also be defined as force per unit
area.
___________2. It is the measure of the kinetic energy of the gas
particles. It also refers to the hotness or coldness of gas
particles.
___________3. This is defined as the space occupied by the gas
particles.
___________4. It is the amount of matter that the object (or a
gas) has.
___________5 A state of matter that has no fixed shape and no
fixed volume with lower density than other states of matter.

Four Measurable Characteristics of
Gases
1. Pressure
2. Temperature
3. Volume
4. Amount of Gas/Mass
 Important Terms to Remember
Pressure - the force exerted by gas particles on the wall
of the container.

Volume – amount of space occupied by gas particles

Temperature – amount of kinetic energy of gas

particles/ or the hotness or coldness of gases.

Amount of Gas/Mass –amount of gas particles

 Pressure
It is the force exerted by gas particles on the wall of the
container.
 Pressure
It is the force exerted by gas particles on the wall of the
container.
Here are the commonly used units of measurement for
PRESSURE.
 Volume
The amount of space occupied by gas particles. Volume
of a gas is not definite. The volume of a gas will depend
on the volume of the container.
 Volume
The amount of space occupied by gas particles. Volume
of a gas is not definite. The volume of a gas will depend
on the volume of the container.
Here are the commonly used units of measurement for
volume.
 Temperature
The amount of kinetic energy of gas particles or the
hotness or coldness of gases.

More Kinetic Energy

Less Kinetic Energy

 Temperature
The amount of kinetic energy of gas particles or the
hotness or coldness of gases.
Here are the commonly used units of measurement for
Temperature.
 Mass (Amount of Gas)
The amount of gas particles.
 Mass (Amount of Gas)
The amount of gas particles. Here are the commonly
used units of measurement for mass.

Let’s Analyze Things UP!
• 1. A deflated balloon was placed in a digital
balance for weighing. Then, the balloon
was inflated and was placed again in the
digital balance. What gas property is being
shown?

Erlenmeyer flask containing water. Then, the flask was
heated. You noticed that the deflated balloon increased in
size. What property of gases do you think is being exhibited?
