Combined Gas Law
How can you combine all three laws into one equation? Boyle’s LawP x V Charles’s LawV / T Gay-Lussac’s LawP / T
Combined Gas Law relates pressure, temperature, and volume in a single statement Equation: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ T₁ T₂
Using Combined Gas Law Lets you solve problems if more than one variable changes at a time Helps you remember all the other equations
Try Using the Combined Gas Law Find what you know and plug it in. Remember to change °C to K! P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ T₁ T₂

Worksheet Practice of the 3 Gas Laws and Combined Gas Law
The particles that make up different gases can come in all different sizes Particles in a gas are far enough apart from each other that size has very little influence on the volume occupied by the gas
Avogadro’s principle equal volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles
Avogadro’s Principle Why does this work with gases but not with liquids or solids?
Remember 1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³ Molar volume of a gas – the volume that 1 mol occupies at 0°C and 1 atm pressure
0°C and 1 atm pressure are known as… STP (Standard Temperature & Pressure)
After many experiments… 1 mol of gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L
Using molar volume in calculations Because the volume of 1 mol of any gas at STP is 22.4 L, you can use 22.4/mol as a conversion factor when a gas is at STP. How many moles are in a sample of gas that has a volume of 3.72 L at STP?
Question? What is the volume of 4.59 mol of CO₂ gas at STP? 4.59 x 22.4 = 102.8
What is the equation for the Combined Gas Law? How do they relate to each other?
How can Avogadro’s principle fit into the equation? The volume and temp. of this tire stay the same as air is added. However, the pressure in the tire increases as the amount of air increases PV = constant nT
Experiments using known values of P, T, V, and n have determined the value of this constant Ideal Gas Constant = R The unit used for pressure determines that value
Ideal Gas Constant R = if pressure is in atm R = if pressure is in kPa R = 62.4 if pressure is in mmHg
Plugging R into the equation gives you… Ideal Gas Law – relates the number of particles to pressure, temperature, and volume
Equation: R P = V = n = R = T = Pressure Volume Moles Ideal Gas Constant Temperature
Calculations Calculate the number of moles of ammonia gas (NH₃) contained in a 3.0 L vessel at 3.00x10² K with a pressure of 1.5 atm.
Determine the Kelvin temp. required for mol of gas to fill a balloon to 1.20 L under atm pressure. Calculations
Ideal Gases vs. Real Gases Particles take up no space
Ideal Gases vs. Real Gases No intermolecular attractive forces
Ideal Gases vs. Real Gases Particles are in constant, random motion, moving in straight lines until colliding with walls or each other
Ideal Gases vs. Real Gases Follows gas laws under all conditions of temperature and pressure
All gases have volume and are subject to intermolecular interactions Collisions are not perfectly elastic However… No gas is truly ideal
Most gases will behave like ideal gases at a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Calculations can be made using gas laws that closely approximate experimental measurements
When will a real gas not follow the Ideal gas law? High Pressure Low Temperature
High Pressure Example: propane gas will liquefy if enough pressure is applied
Low Temperature Example: Nitrogen gas turns to a liquid at -196°C
