2. Chemistry Joke
Oops! I spilled water on my homework.

3. Kinetic Molecular Theory
Gases are hard, spherical particles that:
Have insignificant volume.
Are not attracted to or repelled by each other.
Move randomly in straight paths.
Experience elastic collisions with complete transfer of kinetic energy

4. Variables that Describe a Gas
The four variables and their common units:
1. pressure (P) in kilopascals - kPa
2. volume (V) in Liters - L
3. temperature (T) in Kelvin - K
4. amount (n) in moles - mol
How are each of these variables related to each other?

5. Boyle’s Law
Pressure goes up, volume goes down; Pressure goes down, volume goes up
Equation: P1V1 = P2V2

6. Graph of Boyle’s Law

7. Charles’s Law
The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature, when pressure is held constant.

9. The Combined Gas Law
The combined gas law expresses the relationship between pressure, volume and temperature of a fixed amount of gas.
