2. Boyle’s Law
When pressure increases, volume decreases. Let’s think about the math. P1 V1 = P2 V2

3. P2 P1 V1 = P2 V2 Boyle’s Law V2 As pressure increases…
Volume decreases! P2 P1 V1 = P2 V2 V2

4. Boyle’s Law
As pressure increases…
Volume decreases! P1 V1 V2 = P2

5. P1 V1 V2 = P2 3 4 = * * 3 4 = 2 6 ? * * Boyle’s Law
What if we change P2 to 2? What happens to V2? 3 4 = 2 6 ? * *

6. Boyle’s Law Example: A tank of nitrogen has a volume of 14
Boyle’s Law Example: A tank of nitrogen has a volume of 14.0 L and a pressure of mmHg. Find the volume of the nitrogen when its pressure is changed to mmHg.

7. Charles’ Law
When temperature increases, volume increases. Let’s think about the math. V1 V2 = T1 T2

8. Charles’ Law
When the top of the fraction on the right side increases, the bottom must also. 4 3 1 2 = = = 1 2 3 4

9. V2 T2 V1 V2 = T1 T2 Charles’ Law When temperature increases…
Volume ALSO increases! V2 V1 V2 = T2 T1 T2

10. Charles’ Law Example: Find the final temperature of a 2000
Charles’ Law Example: Find the final temperature of a mL gas sample at 20.00C cooled until it occupies a volume of 500 mL.

11. If I initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, a volume of 23 liters and a temperature of 200oK, and then I raise the pressure to 14 atm and increase the temperature to 300oK, what is the new volume of gas?

12. P1V1 P2V2 = T1 T2 Combined Gas Law
Sometimes we need to account for more than one change…
Enter, the combined gas law! T1

P2V2 = T2

13. Combined Gas Law: If I initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, a volume of 23 liters and a temperature of 200oK, and then I raise the pressure to 14 atm and increase the temperature to 300oK, what is the new volume of gas?

14. 500. 0 liters of a gas are prepared at 1. 00atm and 200. 0 °C
500.0 liters of a gas are prepared at 1.00atm and °C. The gas is placed into a tank under high pressure. When the tank cools to 20.0 °C, the pressure of the gas is 30.0 atm. What is the volume of the gas?
