- 13.1: Compressibility
- When we pack to go on vacation, there is always "one more" thing that we need to get in the suitcase. Maybe it's another bathing suit, pair of shoes, book - whatever the item, we need to get it in. Fortunately, we can squeeze things together somewhat. There is a little space between the folds of clothing, we can rearrange the shoes, and somehow we get that last thing in and close the suitcase.
- 13.3: Boyle's Law
- The behavior of gases can be modeled with gas laws. Boyle’s law relates a gas’s pressure and volume at constant temperature and amount.
- 13.4: Charles's Law
- Charles’s law relates a gas’s volume and temperature at constant pressure and amount. In gas laws, temperatures must always be expressed in kelvins.
- 13.5: Gay-Lussac's Law
- Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas, when the volume is kept constant. Gay-Lussac's Law is very similar to Charles's Law, with the only difference being the type of container. Whereas the container in a Charles's Law experiment is flexible, it is rigid in a Gay-Lussac's Law experiment.
- 13.6: Combined Gas Law
- The combined gas law expresses the relationship between the pressure, volume, and absolute temperature of a fixed amount of gas. For a combined gas law problem, only the amount of gas is held constant.
- 13.14: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- ton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of all of the partial pressures of the component gases.
- 13.17: Gas Density
- As you know, density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. Since gases all occupy the same volume on a per mole basis, the density of a particular gas is dependent on its molar mass. A gas with a small molar mass will have a lower density than a gas with a large molar mass. Gas densities are typically reported in g/L . Gas density can be calculated from molar mass and molar volume.
