GAS LAWS

INTRODUCTION
VAN DENVER E. BAUTISTA
OBJECTIVES
• At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1.Explain the basic gas laws: Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law,
and Gay-Lussac’s Law.
2.Relate the behavior of gases to changes in pressure,
volume, and temperature.
3.Solve problems involving gas laws using mathematical
relationships.
4.Apply gas laws to real-world situations.
Gas laws describe the behavior of
gases under various conditions of
pressure, volume, and
temperature. These laws are
crucial because they help us
understand and predict how gases
will respond to changes in their
environment, making them
essential in both everyday life and
scientific research.
1. Boyle's Law: Describes the
relationship between pressure and
volume at constant temperature. It
states that pressure and volume are
inversely proportional.
P1V1=P2V2
Example: When a balloon is
compressed, its volume decreases,
and its internal pressure increases.
2. Charles' Law: Describes the
relationship between volume and
temperature at constant pressure. It
states that volume is directly
proportional to temperature.
V1T2=V2T1
Example: Heating a balloon causes it
to expand because the gas particles
move faster, increasing the volume.
3. Avogadro’s Law: States that the
volume of a gas is directly
proportional to the number of gas
particles (or moles) when pressure
and temperature are constant.
V1n2=V2n1
Example: Adding more gas to a
balloon will make it expand,
assuming temperature and pressure
remain constant.
4. Gay-Lussac's Law: Describes the
relationship between pressure and
temperature at constant volume. It
states that pressure is directly
proportional to temperature.
P1T2=P2T1
Example: A can of aerosol heats up,
causing the internal pressure to
increase, which can potentially cause
it to explode.
5. Ideal Gas Law: A combination of
Boyle’s, Charles’, and Avogadro’s laws
that describes the state of a gas by the
equation:
PV=nRT
Where:
P is pressure,
V is volume,
n is the number of moles,
R is the ideal gas constant, and
T is temperature.
Importance of Gas Laws
Gas laws are critical because they have
applications in various fields, including:
• Science and Engineering:
Understanding gas behavior is essential
for designing engines, refrigerators, and
airbags, all of which rely on gas
compression and expansion.
• Medicine: Gas laws help explain how
the lungs function during respiration,
ensuring oxygen and carbon dioxide are
exchanged efficiently.
Importance of Gas Laws
• Aerospace: Gas laws are used in
calculating the behavior of gases in
different atmospheric layers, which is
crucial for space exploration and
aviation.
• Environmental Science: They help
scientists understand the behavior of
gases in the atmosphere, which is
important in climate modeling and
studying greenhouse gases.
In summary, gas laws are
foundational in explaining how
gases behave in different
situations, allowing us to harness
and control their properties for a
wide range of practical
applications.
