Molly inflates a beach ball to a volume of 8 liters in her air conditioned house where the temperature is 19 °C. Later that day, Molly takes the beach ball to the beach with some friends. The temperature at the beach was 33 °C, and the air pressure at the beach is the same as it was at the house. What will happen to Molly's beach ball when she is at the beach? Apply CER by: 1. making a claim as to what will happen to the beach ball. 2. supporting it with evidence [provide a calculation]. 3. connecting your claim and evidence with reasoning [the name and concept of the gas law you applied to solve the problem/ answer the question and why you chose to apply it or why it fits this situation].
Ideal and Real Gases
Ideal gases obey conditions of the general gas laws under all states of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases are also named perfect gases. The attributes of ideal gases are as follows,
Gas Laws
Gas laws describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. The very first observations about the physical properties of gases was made by Robert Boyle in 1662. Later discoveries were made by Charles, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro, and others. Eventually, these observations were combined to produce the ideal gas law.
Gaseous State
It is well known that matter exists in different forms in our surroundings. There are five known states of matter, such as solids, gases, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. The last two are known newly in the recent days. Thus, the detailed forms of matter studied are solids, gases and liquids. The best example of a substance that is present in different states is water. It is solid ice, gaseous vapor or steam and liquid water depending on the temperature and pressure conditions. This is due to the difference in the intermolecular forces and distances. The occurrence of three different phases is due to the difference in the two major forces, the force which tends to tightly hold molecules i.e., forces of attraction and the disruptive forces obtained from the thermal energy of molecules.
There is a typo in the response for Molly.
Molly's original volume should be written as 8.0 L, not 8 L. Apply the significant figure rule to the final answer. Your final answer should have one significant figure.
Use CER, claim is your answer, evidence is your calculation, and, reasoning is your further explanation. You can provide information about the formula you used to solve as well.
