All matter is made up of tiny and discrete particles, which cannt be taken apart without changing
the chemical composition and identity of the substance. These particles are called molecules. A
molecule is composed of two or more atoms held by covalent forces. The air in the atmosphere, the
water in the ocean, and the DNA in our bodies are all made up of molecules.
Unlike solid particles, which are held strongly by attractive forces and have definite positions, and
unlike liquids whose molecules can slide past one another, gas molecules are very far from one
another and are always in rapid and random motion.
Due to the large spaces between gas molecules, different types of gases readily mix with one
another. Suppose you have two gases in separate containers with a removable wall in-between them.
As you remove the wall between them the two gases, the gases readily mix. Mixtures of gases are
quite common. For example, a mixture of oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, and nitrogen is used
in welding.
In comparison to liquids and solids, gses have much lower densities because of the large space
between molecules. The density of a gas changes with temperature and pressure. Gas density is
usually measured in grams per liter (g/L).

Instructions. Draw the comparison among solid, liquid, and gas molecules inside the box provided.
The different properties of gases can be explained through the Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT). The
basic assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory are the following:
1) Gases are made up of tiny particles called molecules. These molecules are in constant, random,
and straight-line motion. The molecules will continue in their straight-line motion until they collide
with one another molecule or with the walls of the container.
2) The collision of the molecules with one another or with the walls of the container gives rise to
the gas pressure. The particles and the wall of the container neither lose nor gain energy during
these collisions. All collisions are perfectly elastic.
3) The molecules are considered point particles. This means that the particles have mass but have
very small to negligible volume. The size of the particles is very small compared with the
separation distance between them.
4) Gas molecules have no forces of attraction or repulsion between them.
5) All gases at the same temperature have the same average kinetic energy. The average kinetic
energy is directly proportional to the absolute or Kelvin temperature of the gas.
Instructions. Write the word FACT of the statement discusses a factual information, otherwise, BLUFF on
the space provided.
Most properties of gases are measurable. Moreover, these properties are related to one another.
Varying one property changes the other. These properties are volume, temperature, amount of gas,
and pressure.
Volume
Gases do not have a definite shape or volume. They expand to completely fill their container. The
volume of a gas placed inside a 1.5-L container is 1.5 L. The standard unit for volume is cubic meters
(m3), but a common unit in expressing gas volume is liter (L).
Temperature
The average kinetic energy of gas particles of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its
absolute temperature. The common units for temperature are degrees Celsius (0C) and degrees
Fahrenheit (0F). The standard unit for temperature and the unit that will be used in providing
quantitative relationship with other properties of gases is the Kelvin (K). To convert degrees Celsius to
Kelvin:
𝐊 = °𝐂 + 𝟐𝟕𝟑
Amount of Gas
The amount of gas pertains to the amount of particles present in a given sample. The amount of
gas is simply the mass of the given gas. However, it is very hard and impractical to measure the mass
of a gas. Instead of mass, you will express the amounf of gas in terms of mole (n).
Pressure
The kinetic molecular theory describes gas pressure as the cumulative force that all the gas
particles exert as a result of their collision with one another or with the walls of the container. Pressure
is simply the force exerted on a given area.
𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 (𝐅)
𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝐏) =
𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐚 (𝐀)
The pressure exerted by the atmosphere on anything on Earth’s surface is called atmospheric
pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude because the air density decreases with
altitude. There will be less gas partciles exerting pressure at higher altitudes compared at lower
altitudes.
The barometer, which the is the instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, was invented
by Evangelista Torricelli, His barometer was composed of an inverted glass tube filled in a dish with
mercury. The mercury in the tube was being pushed out of the tube because of its weight while the
atmospheric pressure pushed the mercury back in the tube. In a typical barometer, the height of the
mercury column in the tube. In a typical barometer, the height of the mercury column in the tube will
tell you the atmospheric pressure. At a standard pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm), the mercury column
will reach a height of 760 mm.
The standard unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa). For gases, the common units used to express
pressure are atmosphere (atm), mm Hg or torr, and cm Hg. The term standard pressure refers to a
pressure of 1 atm.

2) 976 mm Hg
3) 850 torr
4) 0.75 atm
5) 97 800 000 Pa
The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize
that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained
which would hold to approximation for all gases.
1) Boyle’s Law states that under a constant temperature when the pressure on a gas increases its
volume decreases. In other words, according to Boyle’s law volume is inversely proportional to
pressure when the temperature and the number of molecules is constant.

barometer reads 745 mm Hg at this same temperature?

𝐕𝟐 = 𝟏𝟎𝟐 𝐦𝐋
2) Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure and for constant mass, the volume of a gas is
directly proportional to the temperature.

730.0 mm of mercury. What will its volume be at 22.6°C and 790 .0 mm of mercury pressure?
A number of interesting results occur when gases experience a change in temperature, some of
them unfortunate and some potentially lethal. In these instances, it is possible to see the gas laws—
particularly Boyle's and Charles's—at work.
There are numerous examples of the disastrous effects that result from an increase in the
temperature of combustible gases, including natural gas and petroleum-based products. In addition,
the pressure on the gases in aerosol cans makes the cans highly explosive—so much so that discarded
cans at a city dump may explode on a hot summer day. Yet, there are other instances when heating
a gas can produce positive effects.
A hot-air balloon, for instance, floats because the air inside it is not as dense than the air outside.
According to Charles's law, heating a gas will increase its volume, and since gas molecules exert little
attraction toward one another, they tend to "spread out" even further with an increase of volume. This,
in turn, creates a significant difference in density between the air in the balloon and the air outside,
and as a result, the balloon floats.
Although heating a gas can be beneficial, cooling a gas is not always a wise idea. If someone
were to put a bag of potato chips into a freezer, thinking this would preserve their flavor, he would be
in for a disappointment. Much of what maintains the flavor of the chips is the pressurization of the bag,
which ensures a consistent internal environment so that preservative chemicals, added during the
manufacture of the chips, can keep them fresh. Placing the bag in the freezer causes a reduction in
pressure, as per Gay-Lussac's law, and the bag ends up a limp version of its former self.
Propane tanks and tires offer an example of the pitfalls that may occur by either allowing a gas to
heat up or cool down by too much. Because most propane tanks are made according to strict
regulations, they are generally safe, but it is not entirely inconceivable that the extreme heat of a
summer day could cause a defective tank to burst. An increase in temperature leads to an increase
in pressure, in accordance with Gay-Lussac's law, and could lead to an explosion.
Because of the connection between heat and pressure, propane trucks on the highways during
the summer are subjected to weight tests to ensure that they are not carrying too much gas. On the
other hand, a drastic reduction in temperature could result in a loss in gas pressure. If a propane tank
from Florida were transported by truck during the winter to northern Canada, the pressure is
dramatically reduced by the time it reaches its destination.
