Gases: Properties and Laws Learning Objectives: TSW define four important properties of gases- pressure, temperature, volume,

and amount of a substance. TSW graphically analyze the relationships between the properties and define their proportional relationship. TSW apply gas properties and laws to real life. Assignment: Tire pressures, sinus headaches, cabin pressure in airplanes, even hairspray bottles- all find their explanation in the properties and laws of gas molecules. Four important properties of gases- pressure, temperature, volume, and amount in moles!- are used to define the behaviors of gas molecules. "sing the Gas Properties simulation from the p#et program, you and your partner will first define each property and then compare the properties to one another. $. %pen the Gas Properties simulation on the "niversity of &olorado's p#et website( phet.colorado.edu)en)simulation)gas-properties *. +,ump the #andle- to place gas molecules into the box. .. ,lay around with the simulation and list the four things in the simulation you can change below.

/. "sing the +&onstant ,arameter- section to the right of the simulation. #old first volume constant. 0d1ust the amount of gas molecules and the temperature and observe what is happening to the pressure of the system. 2. 3epeat the process above with +temperature- held constant. 4. 5ased on your observations, define the first property of gas molecules- pressure.

6. 3epeat Steps /-4, holding pressure and temperature constant and defining volume.

7. 3epeat Steps /-4, holding pressure and volume constant and defining temperature.

8. #ow does the amount of gas molecules present affect the three properties above pressure, volume, temperature!9
