Goal To observe gas laws in the laboratory. Introduction All ideal gasses, regardless of molar mass or chemical properties, follow the same gas laws under most conditions. Gas Laws are derived from the Kinetic Theory which makes the assumptions:
Gay-Lussac’s Law Pressure and Temperature are directly related at constant volume. As the temperature increases in a system with fixed volume, the molecules move faster and have more collisions with the container leading to increased pressure. 𝑃! 𝑇!
Avogadro’s Law Volume and moles are directly related at constant temperature and pressure. As the number of moles increases, the volume of the container must expand to keep the number of collisions and thus the pressure constant. 𝑉! 𝑛!
Combined Gas Law The above laws joined together become the combined gas law. If more than two properties are changing, this law is used. Any properties that remain constant will drop out of the equation. (ex: if temperature and number of moles are constant, they are removed from the equation and it becomes Boyle’s Law) 𝑃!𝑉! 𝑇!
