Gases consist of particles (molecules or atoms) that are in constant random motion.
I. Gas particles are constantly colliding with each other and the walls of their container.
II. Collisions of gas particles are elastic which means there is no net loss of energy.
III. Gas particles cannot be compressed at high temperatures.
_____4. Which statements are TRUE about gas particles?

_____5. Which among the Scientists below is well-known for his work and discoveries about volume-pressure
relationship of a gas?
A. Robert Boyle B. Jacques Charles C. Joseph Gay-Lussac D. Carlo Avogadro

For item 6, study the graph that follows.

_____6. How should you interpret the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas?
A. The volume and pressure of a gas has a directly proportional relationship. As the volume
increases, the pressure also increases.
B. The volume and pressure of a gas has an inversely proportional relationship. As the volume
increases, the pressure decreases.
C. The volume and pressure of a gas has a partial proportional relationship. Only half of the volume of
a gas is related to its pressure.
D. The volume and pressure of a gas has a spatial proportional relationship. The volume of a gas
depends much on its location to have any effect on its pressure.
_____7. Which of the following formula is Boyle’s law?
A. V α 1/P kT B. V α P kT C. V = P kT D. V = 1/P kT
_____8. According to Boyle’s law if the Volume of a gas is increased twice, what is the effect on its pressure?
A. Its pressure is also increased twice.
B. Its pressure is also decreased twice.
C. Its pressure is decreased by one third.
D. Its pressure is multiplied by half.
_____9. One fine day Jose and his friends were looking at the big aquarium tank of their school. They found
out that as the fishes exhaled gas inside the aquarium bubbles were produced. As these bubbles rise
up to the surface they get bigger. How will Jose apply their lesson on Boyle’s law?
A. According to Boyle’s law, since the bottom of the aquarium tank has high pressure the size of the
bubbles is small. As it rises the pressure decreases while its volume increases which will be seen
as big bubbles.
B. According to Boyle’s law, the fishes near the bottom of the tank will produce small bubbles while
fishes near the surface will produce big bubbles. This is because there is a difference in the size
of the fishes inside the aquarium.
C. According to Boyle’s law, bubbles at rest will remain at rest while bubbles in motion will stay
moving. That is why as the bubbles rise up they get bigger.
D. According to Boyles’s law, if fishes near the bottom release oxygen the bubbles are small. On the
contrary, if carbon dioxide is released bubbles are big.

For items 10, 11, and 12 study the problem set that follows:

A gas exerts a pressure of 3 kPa on the walls of container 1. When container 1 is

emptied into a 10-litre container, the pressure exerted by the gas increases to 6
kPa. Assume that the temperature and quantity of the gas remain constant.

_____10. What is the final volume of the gas (V2)?

A. 10 L B. 9.5 L C. 5 L D. 20 L
_____11. How much pressure was used to empty container 1 into a 10-liter container?
A. 3 kPa B. 6 kPa C. 4 kPa D. 8 kPa
_____12. What should have been the volume of container 1 (V1)?
A. 10 L B. 20 L C. 9.5 L D. 5 L
_____13. Who among the given scientists below discovered the volume-temperature relationship of a gas?
A. Robert Boyle B. Jacques Charles C. Joseph Gay-Lussac D. Carlo Avogadro
_____14. Sky lantern is popular in cultures celebrating New Year, wedding, and burial. The principles involved
in sky lantern involve Charles’ law. How does this law apply in making the lanterns float and
eventually fly?
A. According to Charles’ law, the fire used in the lantern propels it to float. The bigger the fire the
higher the altitude the lantern can reach.
B. According to Charles’ law, as the temperature in the lantern increases the gas molecules filling up
the lantern obtain their full volume and rise in the atmosphere.
C. According to Charles’ law, the altitude to which the lantern can reach depends much on the
volume of the paper making up the hatch. The lesser the volume the higher is the altitude.
D. According to Charles’ law, the temperature inside the lantern has to be constant for the volume of
the gas molecules inside the lantern to increase and rise.
 For item 15, study the graph that follows.

_____15. Based from the graph above, why does the line graph point upward (ascending)?
A. Because volume and temperature of a gas have a directly proportional relationship. As the
volume of a gas increases its temperature also increases.
B. Because volume and temperature of a gas have an inversely proportional relationship. As the
temperature of a gas decreases its volume increases.
C. Because of the proportionality constant. As the volume of a gas increases its temperature is kept
constant.
D. Because of the reverse proportionality constant. As the temperature of a gas increases its volume
remains constant.

with another body.
C. The collisions exhibited by gas particles are completely elastic; when two molecules collide, total
kinetic energy is conserved.
D. Gas particles will continue a random motion even after reaching an absolute zero temperature.
