REFLECTION WRITING IN SCIENCE 10

(Q4: GAS LAWS)

Lesson 1: BOYLE’S LAW

I’ve learned that Sir Robert Boyle was the main proponent of
Boyle’s Law, which, the law itself was named after him. Way back to
the 17th century, Sir Boyle came up with an observation that if the
temperature and the number of gas particles are constant and if the
volume decreased to one-half of its original value, the pressure of
the gas will doubled too. If the volume will doubled, the pressure
decreases to one-half of its original value.
Hence, Boyle’s Law states that the pressure of an ideal gas is
inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the number of gas
particles and the temperature are constant.
Mathematically, Boyle’s Law is expressed as:

P1 V 1=P2 V 2
Pressure- Volume Relationship
Where,  Decreased volume-Increased pressure
P1= initial pressure P2= final pressure  Increased volume-Decreased pressure
V 1= initial volume V 2= final volume

Lesson 2: CHARLE’S LAW

Base on the knowledge I have learned in this lesson, Charles’


Law was named after Jacques A.C. Charles. Sir Charles came up with
the observation that the volume will change with change in
temperature, provided that the pressure would not change. For
instance, if the pressure and the number of gas particles are
constant and if the temperature is increased, the volume of the gas
it occupies also increases and vice-versa.
Hence, Charles’ Law states that the volume and temperature,
described in kelvins, are directly proportional if the gas particles are
constant.

Mathematically, Charles’ Law


is expressed as:

V1 V2 Pressure- Volume Relationship


=
T 1 T2
 Decreased volume-Decreased temperature
Where,  Increased volume-Increased temperature
T 1= initial temperature
T 2= final temperature
V 1= initial volume
V 2= final volume

Lesson 4:
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY- PROPERTIES OF GAS
I have learned that the physical state of a pure gas may be
defined by the four physical properties.
(1) P- the pressure of the gas, for example a gas in a closed
container, each time a gas particle collides one of the wall of the
container it exerts force against the wall. The sum of the forces of
these ongoing collisions of gas creates a continuous pressure.
Conversion factor for pressure:
1 atm= 101,325 Pa= 101.325= 760 mm Hg= 760 torr
1 bar= 100 kPa=- 0.9869 atm= 750.1 mm Hg

(2) T- the temperature of the gas, gas temperature is often


measured in degrees Celsius (°C) but scientists generally used
Kelvin (K) for calculations.
Equation used for temperature:
Kelvin (K) Celsius (C)
? K= °C + 273.15 ? °C= K – 273.15
(3) V- the volume of the gas, volumes of gases are usually in liters (L)
or in cubic meter.
(4) mol- the number of gas molecules, the number of gas particles
are usually measured with this.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
 Describes the behavior of gases in terms of their particles in motion. In
other words, this model makes several assumptions about the size, motion
and energy of particles.
