1. Investigate the relationship between:  Solving exercise
• volume and pressure at constant
temperature of a gas;
• volume and temperature at constant
pressure of a gas
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY
Remembering these equivalents will also be of great help:
Volume units and their equivalents:
1 mL = 1 cm3 1 L = 1 dm3 1 m3 = 1000 L

Pressure units and their equivalents:
1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 76 cm Hg = 760 torr = 101325 Pa = 14.6956 psi
Temperature units and their equivalents:
0˚C = 273.15 K 0˚C = 32˚F

Gas particles have a very weak intermolecular force of attraction, hence they move as far as possible from each
other. They have the tendency to occupy all the spaces they are contained in. If the pressure is increased, the
volume will be decreased forcing the gas particles to move closer to one another. The observations in Activity 2
can be expressed in the Boyle’s Law equation:

It is read as: The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, if temperature and amount of a gas
are held constant. The latter equation is simply read as: The product of Pressure and Volume is constant. Since
volume and pressure of the gas can be varied, let P1 and V1 be the initial pressure and volume respectively and
P2 and V2 be the final pressure and volume respectively.

The latter equation is simply read as:
The product of Pressure and Volume is constant. Since volume and pressure of the gas can be varied, let P1
and V1 be the initial pressure and volume respectively and P2 and V2 be the final pressure and volume
respectively.

Let’s try to solve this problem:

The inflated balloon that slipped from the hand of Renn has a volume of 0.50 L at sea level (1.0 atm) and it
reached a height of approximately 8 km where the atmospheric pressure is approximately 0.33 atm. Assuming
that the temperature is constant, compute for the final volume of the balloon.

By applying Boyle’s Law, can you predict what will happen to the final volume? Yes, you’re right! The final
volume will increase.
Let’s compute for the numerical value of the final volume by substituting the given values to this equation.
V1P1 = V2P2
V2 = V1P1 / P2
V2 = (0.50 L) (1.0 atm)/ (0.33 atm) = 1.5 L
Let us now proceed to another interrelationship among gases.

Why is there a need to convert °C to K?

Kelvin is the basic unit for measuring temperature in the International System (SI). It denotes the absolute
temperature scale with absolute zero as the starting point - whereby zero Kelvin or absolute zero is
theoretically the lowest attainable temperature. Kelvin scale is used in gas law calculations because the
pressure and volume of a gas depend on the motion of the particles or the Kinetic Energy (KE) of particles.

Let’s apply Charles’ Law in solving problems related to volumetemperature relationship in gases.
An inflated balloon with a volume of 0.75 L at 30°C was placed inside the freezer where the temperature is -
10°C. Find out what will happen to the volume of the balloon if the pressure remains constant. Support your
answer with computation

II. REMEMBER:
Gases are everywhere. You may have heard about the atmosphere. The atmosphere is an envelope of gases that
surrounds the Earth. The molecules in gases are really spread out, full of energy, and constantly moving around in random
 Gas is one of the phases of matter. It has no definite shape and size. It can be compressed easily.
 Properties of gases include mass, volume, temperature, and pressure.
 The pressure of a confined gas is the average effect of the forces of the colliding molecules.
 The volume of a gas is the amount of space occupied by the gases. Gases have the tendency to occupy all the spaces of the
container that they are confined. They have weak intermolecular force of attraction; hence they are arranged as far away
as possible from each other.
 The volume of a gas is inversely related to its pressure at constant temperature.
 The volume of a gas is directly related to its temperature at constant pressure.
The behavior of the gas molecules can be explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory. It states that:
A. Gases consist of very large numbers of tiny spherical particles that are far apart from one another compared to their size.
B. Gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions.
C. Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions.
D. There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles.
E. The average kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent upon the temperature of the gas.
