Gas BehaviorsMr. WagenborgD.N. Fell School

VolumeThe amount of space it takes upDepends on the shape of the container.This is because the particles of gas can be compressed or squeezed together

Temperature

Measure of how cold or hot something is or measure of the movement of particles in an objectThe higher the temperature- the more energy, the more energy- the faster the particles

Pressure

The amount of times a gas hits the inside of itscontainerMore hits from the particles= more pressure

Example: Beach Ball vs Basketball

Can hold the same volume of gas but the particles inside the basketball hit its insides many, many more times. That is why it has more pressure than the beach ball.

Gas Volume, Temperature and Pressure are Related.

Boyle’s LawAs pressure increases volume of gas decreasesAs pressure decreases volume of gas increases

Indirect RelationshipCrushing a balloon- increases pressure but decreases volume.

Letting it go –decreases pressure and increases volume

Boyle’s Law

Astronauts and Boyle’s Law

Less Pressure

More Volume

Deep Sea Divers and Boyle’s Law

More Pressure

Less Volume

Charles’ Law

As temperature increases, the volume of gas increasesAs temperature decreases the volume of gas decreasesDirect RelationshipTires will look deflated in the winter while they will look inflated in the summer
