Physical Characteristics of Gases
•
Gases assume the volume and shape of their containers.
•
Gases are the most compressible state of matter.
•
Gases will mix evenly and completely when confined to the same container.
•
Gases have much lower densities than liquids and solids.

Exploring the Properties of Gas Shawna Hendricks CHM 144 C Robert Baum Colleen Heffner and Andrew Flannery Abstract: The hypothesis of whether or not the relationships between the properties of gases will all be direct is experimented. This was done by experimenting three variables of properties of gases such as temperature, pressure, and volume. Temperature and pressure were tested together while volume was kept constant, then the relationship…
Gas Laws -study the relationships that exist between pressure, volume, temperature and amount (moles) of gas. 1. Boyle’s Law * Pressure-volume relationship * At constant temperature and amount, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. * As pressure increases, volume decreases. * P1V1=P2V2 2. Charles’ Law * Temperature-volume relationship * At constant pressure and amount, the temperature and volume of a gas are directly proportional.…

experiment the ideal gas law and the van der Waals equation were examined. In Part 1, the gas constant was determined by graphing P vs 1/V for data collected using nitrogen gas. The equation of the line was y= 2.7817x- 0.2592. The gas constant was 0.93 ± 0.014 L*atm/mol*K. In Part II, six different isotherms were graphed assuming ideal gas behavior. In Part III, six different isotherms were graphed using the van der Waals equation. Using the same volume, the pressure under ideal gas behavior was higher…
scientific laws in lab, it is important to understand the relationship between the different variables at play. Using the Ideal Gas Law the following behaviors, Pressure (P), Volume (V), Temperature (T), and quantity in moles (n) relationships are examined between each other. However, before using these terms, the assumptions under the ideal gas law—that molecules don’t interact when in a gas state and that volume occupied by molecules is negligible—were taken into consideration The ideal gas laws states…
The Determination of R: The Gas-Law Constant Izabella D’Onofrio Conducted on: January 24, 2015 Abstract An experiment was performed to determine “R”, the gas-law constant, using both the ideal gas law equation and the van der Waals equation. An ideal gas is considered a hypothetical gas whose pressure, volume, and temperature behavior correlates to the ideal gas equation, PV=nRT (Brown, et al. 2012). Using an apparatus involving a test tube and large beaker with rubber stoppers and…

Volume of Gas Using Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid and Demonstrating Boyles Law Taylor Payne Abstract: In this experiment we combined a strip of magnesium with hydrochloric acid in a buret and measured the amount of hydrogen gas the reaction produced. We also tracked the pressure inside a syringe as the volume of the syringe increased and decreased. Introduction: The moles and density of the hydrogen gas that is produced in this experiment can be calculated using the combined gas law equation…
