2. Review & Motivation

i. Instructional Material: PowerPoint Presentation
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
Alright, so for today’s discussion,
we will be learning about the
behavior of gases, particularly
about Boyle’s Law. Before we
proceed to our lesson proper, we
will have a short activity that
would also act as a review.
Okay, Miss
Is anyone here familiar with the
famous game Among Us?
Yes, Miss. We have played it a lot of
times during the CoVid-19 pandemic
along with our friends and families.
We liked this game so much!
Great! So for our short activity and
our short review, we would be
playing the game Among Us: Who
is the Impostor. Are you guys
excited?
Yes, Miss.
Okay, so listen carefully as I
explain to you the mechanics of
our short activity.
1. See the different characters
of the game.
2. They are telling you
something. Read the
statements.
3. Recognize who among the
character tells a lie.
4. The character who tells a
lie is the impostor.
5. Comment your answer on
our chatbox. (For example,
Green)
Do you understand class? If yes,
tap the heart button.
Students tap the heart button.
Let’s have an example… You can
see on your screen the different
characters from the game Among
Us.

They are telling you something.

Red says 1+1=11, White says,
3+2=5, Green says 1+2=3 and
Pink says, 4+5=9. Who among
these characters tells the complete
lie?
Students answer color Red.
Of course, it is the color Red!
Color Red is the Impostor. Do you
understand the mechanics or
instructions of our short activity?
Yes, Miss.
Let me also remind you that you
will get recitation points
depending on how many correct
answers you got if you actively
participate in this short activity.
Okay? Let’s now proceed.

For our first item, we have here 4

characters. Sky blue says there are
4 states of matter. Yellow says
solid, liquid, and gas are the states
of matter. Yellow-green says
everything is made up of matter
and indigo says matter can exist in
one of three main states: solid,
liquid, or gas.

Who among these characters is the

impostor? Comment your answer
on the chatbox.
Students comment their answers.
I think everyone is done typing
their answer on the chatbox. So,
yes, you got the answer right class.
Sky blue is the impostor.

You have learned from your

previous science classes that there
are only 3 states of matter and not
4. Namely, solid, liquid, and gas.
Okay, let's proceed to our next
slide. You can see on your screen
the characters; White who says
Solids are rigid. Rigid means
unable to bend or not flexible.
Brown says solids have fixed
volumes. Violet says Solids have
fixed shapes and finally, red says
solids can be compressed easily.

Who do you think among these

characters is the impostor?
Students comment their answers.
Red is the impostor. Take note that
solids CANNOT be easily
compressed. As what character
white has said, solids are rigid and
therefore cannot be compressed
easily.

Okay, for our next slide. We have

here characters; Pink who says
milk is an example of liquid. Green
says liquids are rigid. Black says
liquids have fixed volumes and
orange says liquid has no fixed
shape. Who among them is the
impostor?
Students comment their answers.
Yes, almost everyone got it right!
Green is the impostor. Liquids are
NOT rigid. Liquids do not possess
rigidity because they have no
shapes of their own. They are
easily compressed, unlike solids.

Now let’s proceed to our next

slide. Red says gases are not rigid.
White says gases have no fixed
shapes. Yellow says gases have
 fixed volume and yellow-green
says helium is a balloon is an
example of gas. Find out who
among them is the impostor. Students comment their answers.
Correct, yellow is the impostor.
Gases do not have a fixed volume
because we can simply say that it
takes the shape and volume of the
container. For example, is the
helium gas inside the balloon.

Okay, for our last item. Violet says

apple is an example of solid.
Brown says lemon juice is an
example of a liquid. Pink says
carbon dioxide is an example gas
and sky blue says mercury is a
gas. Who among them is the
impostor?
Students comment their answers.
Sky blue is the impostor. Mercury
is not a gas but a metal and a
liquid at room temperature.

Now, solid, liquid, and gas are the

three states of matter. Just like
what I have mentioned a while
back at the start of our class, we
will be learning about the behavior
of gas, Boyle’s law in particular.
So our focus would be a lot more
on gases than the two remaining
states of matter.

That’s the end of our short review

and activity.

3. Lesson Proper
i. Instructional Material: PowerPoint Presentation, Pictures and Videos
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
Our topic for today is about the behavior
of gas, particularly Boyle’s Law. For our
learning objectives; explain and
investigate the relationship between
volume and temperature using Boyle’s
Law, solve problems using the Boyle’s
Law equation, and evaluate the different
applications of Boyle’s law.

Properties that Describe a Gas

Now let us now proceed with our
discussion proper. Let me remind
you guys to turn off your
microphone to avoid distractions.
Alright.

Now, as we move along to our

discussion, we need to recognize
the properties of gases first in
order for us to understand their
behaviors.

Is anyone from this class familiar

with the properties of gases?
Students: Yes, Miss. No, Miss.
Alright. So gases are described in
terms of four properties. What are
these properties?
They are the following:
Pressure (P), volume (V),
temperature (T), and amount (n).

We will briefly discuss each of

these properties. Let’s start with
Pressure.

Pressure is described as a force

acting on a specific area. It has
the following units of atm
(atmosphere), mm Hg (millimeter
mercury), torr, lb/in2 (pounds per
square inch) and kPa
(kilopascals). Commonly used
unit through our discussion would
be atm, mm Hg and torr.

And this is how we convert form

one unit to another. (Show on
slide)

Also take note that the standard

unit for the gas pressure is the
atm.

Next, we have the Volume.

Volume is a three-dimensional
space occupied by a gas.

If you try to compare the shape

and volume of a gas to solid and
liquid, you can notice that solid is
rigid, fixed in its shape and
volume. Liquid on the other hand
is not rigid, has a fixed volume,
and has no fixed shape because it
takes the shape of the container.
And gas is not rigid, has no fixed
shape, and has no fixed volume
because it takes up the shape of
the volume and container.

Now, the common units for

volume are mL (milliliter), L
(liter), m3 (cubic meter) and cm3
(cubic centimeter). Also, here are
the conversion factors that might
come in handy when solving
problems that need conversions.
For the third property of gas, we
have the Temperature.
Temperature measures the
warmth or coldness of a body as
well as the average kinetic energy
of the particles in an object.
Kinetic energy is related to
movement. Therefore, the faster
movement of molecules in an
object, the higher its temperature.

In measuring temperature, we use

three different units. Fahrenheit,
Celsius, and Kelvin. Fahrenheit is
commonly used in US and
Celcius in the Philippines. But
take note that in our calculations,
we will use Kelvin because it is
the standard unit for temperature.

Now, here is how to convert the

temperature from Celsius to
Kelvin. Take a closer note of
Kelvin’s constant number here,
273.15.
So for us to convert
Celsius to Kelvin, simply
add the Celsius to 273.15.
For example, if you are to
convert 1˚C to Kelvin,
simply add 1 + 273.15 =
274.15 K.

Now if you are going to

convert Fahrenheit to
Kelvin, you need to
convert it first to Celsius
and then to Kelvin.

Lastly, we have the Quantity.

 Quantity is measured in moles
(mol) and you have learned about
this during your grade 9 level.
Remember that 1 mole according
to Avogadro is equal to 6.022 x
1023 units of a substance.

But take note that quantity is not

the same as mass. They could be;
the same mass and different
amounts of substance or different
mass and same amount of
substance.

Know that, there four properties;

temperature, pressure, amount and
volume of agas are
interdependent, basically means
each of these properties are
dependent on each other, and
many scientists have developed
laws to describe the relationships
among them.

These laws, each will be

discussed today and for our next
meetings.

Are you still with me class?

Yes, Miss.
Do you have any questions so far?
None, Miss.
Alright! Again, let me repeat that
the gas laws that we will be
discussing today and for the
following week show the
relationship between the four
properties of gas that we have
mentioned earlier.

Boyle’s Law
Now proceeding with the
discussion, the first gas law that
we are going to discuss today is
Boyle’s Law.

Boyle’s Law was named after

Robert Boyle who first stated it in
1962. Robert Boyle was an
Anglo-Irish natural philosopher,
chemist, physicist and an
inventor.

According to Boyle’s Law,

PRESSURE IS INVERSELY
PROPORTIONAL TO THE
VOLUME AT CONSTANT
TEMPERATURE.

And that when volume increases,

pressure decreases. Vice versa.

If we are to relate the relationship

between the two properties using
a graph, we will be getting this
kind of graph. Notice the J curve.
As the volume increases, the
pressure decreases.

Increasing the amount of space

available will allow the gas
particles to spread farther apart,
but this reduces the number of
particles available to collide with
the container, so pressure
decreases.

Is it clear class? Tap the heart Students tapping the heart button.
button if yes.
Boyle’s Law Virtual Demonstration
Now let us watch a video to better
understand the relationship
between volume and pressure of a
gas explained using Boyle’s Law.

Video 1 – Marshmallow in a
sealed syringe
When force is applied on the
syringe’s plunger, the
marshmallow becomes smaller.
And when the plunger is pulled,
the marshmallow becomes larger.
Let’s watch another virtual
demonstration.

Video 2 – Syringe and a Balloon

Again, when force is applied,
provided that the syringe’s front is
blocked, the balloon compresses.

How do we relate it to Boyle’s

Law? Now, we have discussed
earlier that Boyle’s Law states
that when pressure increases,
volume decreases and vice versa.
Take note that what we are trying
to investigate here is not actually
the marshmallow but the effect of
the gas inside the syringe into the
marshmallow. The gas is invisible
so we cannot really see the
compression happening in the
particles of the gas unless we
place something inside the
syringe.

Going back, whenever you push

the syringe, provided the the other
hand is closed, the effect is that
 the marshmallow and the ballon
decreases in size. It means a
decrease in volume and an
increase in pressure. On the other
hand, when we pull or release the
plunger, the marshmallow
becomes bigger because we are
decreasing the pressure and
therefore increasing the volume.

Do you understand class? If you

have any questions, feel free to
write it on the chatbox.
Yes, Miss. The discussion is clear.
Students write their questions on the
chatbox.
Boyle’s Law Calculations
Proceeding with our topic is the
Boyle’s Law Calculations. How
do we calculate using Boyle’s
Law?

The general formula to use is this,

P1V1 = P2V2
Where:
P1 = Initial Pressure
P2 = Final Pressure
V1 = Initial Volume
V2 = Final Volume

P1V1 is just multiplying P1 which

is the Initial Pressure, to V1 which
is the Initial Volume. So this is
the same with P2V2.

Now we will use this formula to

solve a Boyle’s Law problem.
Kindly get your calculators
because you will be needing them
for our sample problems.
 Students get their calculators.
Boyle’s Law Sample Problems
A gas occupies 12.3 liters at a
pressure of 40.0 mmHg. What is
the volume when the pressure is
increased to 120.0 mmHg?

Let us first identify the given

values.

How are we going to do this?

Usually, the first amount of
pressure or volume that is
mentioned in the problem is the
initial state and the second one to
be mentioned is the final. But be
reminded that this is usually but
not most of the time. We still
need to understand and analyze
the given problem. Another thing
this to consider is that the
pressure would have the units of
pressure and volume would have
the units of volume.

Given:
V1 = 12.3 L
P2 = 120.0 mmHg
V2 = ?
P1 = 40.0 mmHg

Equation:
P1V1 = P2V2

Solution:
(40.0 mmHg)(12.3 L) =
(120.0 mmHg)(V2)

49.2 L = 120.0 V2
 492 𝐿 120.0 𝑉2
=
120.0 120.0

4.1 L = V2
Let's have another sample
problem.

A gas occupies 11.2 liters at

0.860 atm. What is the pressure if
the volume becomes 15.0 L?

Given:
V1 = 11.2 L
P1 = 0.860 atm
P2 = ?
V2 = 15.0 L

Equation:
P1V1 = P2V2

Solution:
(0.860 atm)(11.2 L) =
(P2)(15.0 L)

9.632 atm = 15.0 P2

9.632 𝑎𝑡𝑚 15.0 𝑃2

=
15.0 15.0

0.642 atm = P2
0.6 atm = P2

So that’s how we solve for a

problem using Boyle’s Law. Any
clarifications or questions so far?
None, Miss.
Boyle’s Law Applications
Alright, so let’s have the
applications. What are some
applications of Boyle’s Law?
First, we have here the action of a
syringe. The action of a syringe is
an application of Boyle’s Law.
How? Whenever fluids, for
example, is blood or any other
fluids are drawn into the syringe,
the volume inside the syringe
would increase.

Notice that, in order for a syringe

to get sample blood, the nurse or
doctor must pull the syringe’s
plunger to increase the volume
inside the syringe. And when the
volume is increased inside the
syringe, the pressure decreases.

Next is a bag of chips. If some of

you have tried mountain hiking, if
you bring a bag of chips to higher
places, the tendency is the bag of
chips appears to be bloated. This
is because as you go higher in
altitude, the pressure becomes
lower. And since the pressure
becomes lower, the volume
increases, resulting in a bloated
bag of chips.

Another example is breathing.

Involve in our breathing is the
diaphragm. So whenever we
breathe in, our diaphragm would
go down and this means the lungs
would increase in volume and the
pressure inside the lungs would
decrease.

Now, those are the real-life

applications of Boyle’s Law.
 Do you have any question or
clarifications?

Yes, Miss. None, Miss.
