Part IV:  Relationships Between Gas Variables

 

Scientists in the late 1800’s noted relationships between many of the state variables related to gases (pressure, volume, temperature), and the number of gas particles in the sample being studied.  They knew that it was easier to study relationships if they varied only two parameters at a time and “fixed” (held constant) the others.  Use the simulation (PhET) to explore these relationships.

 

Variables

Constant Parameters

Relationship

Proportionality

(see hint below)

pressure, volume

Pressure- 11.8 atm

Particle- 100

Inversely proportional

directly proportional

or

inversely proportional

volume, temperature

 

 

directly proportional

or

inversely proportional

volume, number of gas particles

 

 

directly proportional

or

inversely proportional

 

Hint: A pair of variables is directly proportional when they vary in the same way (one increases and the other also increases).  A pair of variables is inversely proportional when they vary in opposite ways (one increases and the other decreases).  Label each of your relationships in the table above as directly or inversely proportional.
