4. Part 1: What Is a Gas Law? • the gas laws are simple, mathematical relationships between the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and moles (n), of a gas. Basic gas laws involve P, V, and T only. • the 5 basic gas laws: • gas laws use the Kelvin temperature scale (K). Why? The Celsius scale (C) has negative values and a zero value (the Kelvin scale does not). If we used the Celsius scale, we might calculate a zero or negative volume/pressure from it, which can’t exist! • to convert a Celsius temp into Kelvin, just add 273 • notice that Kelvin temps do not have a degree sign, just a “K” Combined Gas Law P1V1=P2V2 T1 T2 Charles’s Law V1=V2 T1 T2 Gay-Lussac Law P1=P2 T1 T2 Boyle’s Law P1V1= P2V2 Partial Pressures Law PT= P1 + P2 + P3 C + 273 = __K

5. C + 273 = __K • to convert a Celsius temp into Kelvin, just add 273 • notice that Kelvin temps do not have a degree sign, just a “K” • there is a certain temperature that is considered “standard,” as well as a standard pressure. The values for standard temp and pressure (STP) are 273 K and 1 atm. • all the gas laws (except Charles’s law) involve pressure. Most people are not familiar with the many units pressure can be measured in (except maybe psi). So here they are: • remember: units of volume = milliliters (mL), liters (L), and cubic centimeters (cm3). NOTE: the STP values shown here can be used to convert one pressure unit to another, which will need to be done quite a bit in your calculations!

6. P V Part 2: Boyle’s Law(1662) • Boyle’s Law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with the volume at a constant temperature. • this means if you compare the initial volume and pressure of a gas with the new conditions of the gas, you will get an inverse relationship every time • P1 and V1indicate initial (or starting) conditions • P2 and V2indicate new (or final) conditions Steps for Solving ANY Gas Law Problem: • Write out a column of information down the left-hand side. Make sure all of your variable’s units match (i.e. if P1 is in kPa, then P2 must be in kPa as well). If one doesn’t match, convert it to match the other, using a conversion table. Put a question mark in the space for the variable you are trying to solve for (what you DON’T have). • Write the original equation for the gas law you will be using. • Rearrange the equation to solve for the variable you need. Boyle’s Law P1V1= P2V2

This will be the unit for your answer. • Calculate, then box your answer!
