1. LECTURE 6.7 –IDEAL LAW

2. What is the Ideal Gas Law?

3. I. Ideal Gas Law
Based on the relationships studied by Boyle, Charles, and Gay – Lussac
An ideal gas is an imaginary gas whose particles are infinitely small and do not interact with each other.

4. II. The Ideal Gas Law PV=nRT The Ideal Gas Law is: P=pressure
V=volume in L
n=moles
R=Gas constant ( (L atm)/(K mol))
T=temperature in Kelvin.

5. Class Example
If I have 4 moles of a gas at a pressure of 5.6 atm and a volume of 12 L, what is the temperature of this gas?

6. Table Talk
If I have an unknown quantity of gas at a pressure of 1.2 atm, a volume of 31 L, and a temperature of 87 oC, how many moles of gas do I have?

7. Stop and Jot
If I contain 3 moles of gas in a container with a volume of 60 L and a temperature of 400 K, what is the pressure inside this container?
