Jul 22, 2022 · A gas law is a simple mathematical formula that allows you to model, or predict, the behavior of a gas. This particular gas law is called Boyle's Law, after the English scientist Robert Boyle, who first announced it in 1662. Figure 11.4.1 11.4. 1 shows two representations of how Boyle’s Law works.
A common use of Equation \(\ref{10.4.12}\) is to determine the molar mass of an unknown gas by measuring its density at a known temperature and pressure. This method is particularly useful in identifying a gas that has been produced in a reaction, and it is not difficult to carry out.
Apr 28, 2023 · The pressure at \(h+\Delta h\) is less than the pressure at \(h\) by the weight of this gas divided by the cross-sectional area. The weight of the gas is \(M_Sg\). The pressure difference is \(\Delta P=-{M_Sg}/{A}\).
- Conversion of Pressure Units. The United States National Weather Service reports pressure in both inches of Hg and millibars. Convert a pressure of 29.2 in.
- Predicting Change in Pressure with Temperature. A can of hair spray is used until it is empty except for the propellant, isobutane gas. (a) On the can is the warning “Store only at temperatures below 120 °F (48.8 °C).
- Predicting Change in Volume with Temperature. A sample of carbon dioxide, CO2, occupies 0.300 L at 10 °C and 750 torr. What volume will the gas have at 30 °C and 750 torr?
- Measuring Temperature with a Volume Change. Temperature is sometimes measured with a gas thermometer by observing the change in the volume of the gas as the temperature changes at constant pressure.

This section explores atmospheric pressure and the scientific laws which describe relationships between macroscopic physical properties of gases: pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas. These laws are combined in the ideal gas law, which is applicable to gases under conditions of relatively low pressure and high temperature. Understanding...
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the column of air molecules in the atmosphere above an object. At sea level, this pressure is roughly the same as that exerted by a full-grown African elephant standing on a doormat, or a typical bowling ball resting on your thumbnail. These may seem like huge amounts, and they are, but life on earth ...
We can measure atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the atmosphere on the earth’s surface, with a barometer (Figure 3). A barometer is a glass tube that is closed at one end, filled with a nonvolatile liquid such as mercury, and then inverted and immersed in a container of that liquid. The atmosphere exerts pressure on the liquid outside the ...
Imagine filling a rigid container attached to a pressure gauge with gas and then sealing the container so that no gas may escape. If the container is cooled, the gas inside likewise gets colder and its pressure is observed to decrease. Since the container is rigid and tightly sealed, both the volume and number of moles of gas remain constant. If we...
If we fill a balloon with air and seal it, the balloon contains a specific amount of air at atmospheric pressure, about 1 atm. If we put the balloon in a refrigerator, the gas inside gets cold and the balloon shrinks (although both the amount of gas and its pressure remain constant). If we make the balloon very cold, it will shrink a great deal, an...
If we fill an airtight syringe with air, the syringe contains a specific amount of air at constant temperature, say 25 °C. If we slowly push in the plunger while keeping temperature constant, the gas in the syringe is compressed into a smaller volume and its pressure increases; if we pull out the plunger, the volume increases and the pressure decre...
The Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro advanced a hypothesis in 1811 to account for the behavior of gases, stating that equal volumes of all gases, measured under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, contain the same number of molecules. Over time, this relationship was supported by many experimental observations as expressed by Avogadro...
To this point, four separate laws have been discussed that relate pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles of the gas: 1. PV = constant (with T and n held constant) 2. P/T = constant (with V and n held constant) 3. V/T = constant (with P and n held constant) 4. V/n = constant (with P and T held constant) Combining these four laws yiel...
We have seen that the volume of a given quantity of gas and the number of molecules (moles) in a given volume of gas vary with changes in pressure and temperature. Chemists sometimes make comparisons against a standard temperature and pressure (STP) for reporting properties of gases: 273.15 K and 1 atm (101.325 kPa). At STP, an ideal gas has a volu...
Gases exert pressure, which is force per unit area. The pressure of a gas may be expressed in the SI unit of pascal or kilopascal, as well as in many other units including torr, atmosphere, and bar. Atmospheric pressure is measured using a barometer; other gas pressures can be measured using one of several types of manometers. The behavior of gases...
