BEHAVIOR OF GASES
3.3
Measuring Gases
 Volume- amount of space that matter takes up
(vol. of gas is same as it’s container.)
Measured in cubic centimeters (cm3), Milliliters (Ml), and
Liters (L).

 Temperature- measure of average energy of


motion of particles of matter.
Faster the particles move the greater the energy and
the higher the temperature
 thermometer is a speedometer for molecules.
20 degrees Celsius average gas particle travels 500
meters per second. Twice the speed of a jet plane.
Measuring Gases (cont.)
 Pressure- the force of outward push
divided by area of walls of container.
Pressure is measured in units called Pascals
(Pa) or kilopascals (kPa). 1 kPa= 1000 Pa.
Firmness of gas filled object comes from
pressure of gas.
When something filled with air is punctured
the many gas particles inside are able to hit
the hole rather than the gas particles outside
so air is released rather than enter.
Pressure will drop until it is equal to the
pressure outside.
Temperature and Volume
Charles’s Law
 When the temperature of a gas is increased at
constant pressure, its volume increases.
 When the temperature of a gas is decreased at
constant pressure, it’s volume decreases.
Hot air balloon- they put hot air inside it becomes less
dense and starts to float in the cooler more dense air.
Fewer gas particles moving at a high rate, but fewer. So
its less dense.
Car tires- The molecules don't expand or contract with
temperature. At higher temperature they move faster,
hit the walls more often, and bounce harder when they
do.
When the air in the tires cools down, the pressure
drops. That also makes the tire a little bit flat
Directly proportional
 Directly proportional- two variables that
pass through the origin.
“Directly proportional means that both
variables increase or decrease at the same
time.”
Pressure and Volume
Boyle’s Law
 When the pressure of a gas at constant
temperature is increased, the volume of the gas
decreases.
 When the pressure is decreased, the volume
increases.
Balloon to the bottom of a pool- Balloon will shrink, the
pressure on the bottom of a pool is higher then at the
top. Boyle’s law.

When you increase the pressure in a bike tire, there is


no space left inside so the volume for more gas is
smaller.
When you deflate the tire there is more volume because
there is not a lot of pressure.
Inversely proportional
 Inversely proportional- means that one
variable goes up while the other goes
down
