Brief Introduction
Gases consist of various properties. Its shape and size are indefinite and depends
on where it is contained. Gases have mass, volume, temperature, and pressure.
Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while volume refers to the space
occupied by the matter. Temperature is the measure of the coldness or hotness of a
material. Pressure is the force applied by the gas particles per unit area.
Gas laws explain the relationship between property of gases. It helps predict how
gas will react if pressure, temperature, or volume is changed or kept constant.
Kinetic molecular theory of gases is a model that helps us understand the physical
properties of gases at the molecular level in ideal state.

Volume (L)

The relationship between volume and pressure at constant temperature was first
stated by Robert Boyle during the 16th century. Boyle’s Law states that the volume of
a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature. It means that
as the pressure increases, the volume decreases and as the pressure decreases, the
volume increases. This can be observed on the table in Activity 1. You will also notice in
the same table that the product of pressure and volume is always the same which leads
us to Boyle’s Law equation.

𝑃𝑃1 𝑉𝑉1 = 𝑃𝑃2 𝑉𝑉2

where:
P1 = initial pressure expressed in atmospheric pressure (atm)
V1 = initial volume expressed in Liters (L)
P2 = final pressure expressed in atmospheric pressure (atm)

 The volume - temperature relationship in gases was determined by and named
after Jacques Charles. Charles’s Law states that the volume of a gas is directly
proportional to its temperature at constant pressure. It means that as the
temperature increase, the volume also increases and as the temperature decreases, the
volume decreases as shown in the table in Activity 2. You will also notice in the given
table that the quotient of pressure and volume are always the same which leads us to
Charles’s Law equation.

Remember
o Gas is one of the phases of matter. It has no definite shape and size. It can be
compressed easily.
o Properties of gases include mass, volume, temperature, and pressure.
• Mass is the amount of a gas that could be expressed in moles or grams. The
mass of gases is negligible.
• Volume is the amount of space occupied by the gases.
• Temperature is the measure of the hotness or coldness of an object.
• Pressure is the average effect of the forces of the colliding molecules.
o The properties of gases can affect one another. They are related to each other as
stated by the different Gas Laws.
• Boyle’s Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its
volume at constant temperature.
• Charles’s Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its
absolute temperature at constant pressure.

 o The relationship between the different properties of gases can be quantified using
the following formulas.
• Boyle’s Law 𝑃𝑃1 𝑉𝑉1 = 𝑃𝑃2 𝑉𝑉2
𝑉𝑉1 𝑉𝑉2
• Charles’s Law =
𝑇𝑇1 𝑇𝑇2
Where:
P = Pressure in atm
V= volume in liters
T = temperature in Kelvin
1 = use as a subscript which means initial condition
2 = use as a subscript which means final condition

o The behavior of the gas molecules can be explained by the Kinetic Molecular
Theory. It states that:
1. Gases are composed of molecules. The distances from molecule to molecule
are far greater than the molecule’s dimension. These molecules can be
considered as spherical bodies which possess negligible mass and volume.
2. Gas molecules are always in constant random motion and they frequently
collide with each other and with the walls of the container. Collision among
molecules is perfectly elastic, that is, energy may transfer from molecule to
molecule as the result of collision, but the total energy of all the molecules in
the system remains the same/constant.
3. There is a negligible attractive or repulsive force between or among gas
molecules. by
4. The movement of gas molecules is affected by temperature. The average
kinetic energy of the molecules is directly related to the temperature of a gas.
