CHAPTER 9:

GASES: THE MOVING


PARTICLES
• To fully enjoy and appreciate the deeper parts of the sea, you go to
the deeper parts of the ocean. So you need a device that allows you
to breathe underwater and have to deal with the increasing pressure.
What will happen to your body at this condition?

BOYLE’S LAW
• Robert Boyle discovered Boyle’s Law – the Robert Boyle
first of the gas laws – relating the pressure of (1627-1691)
a gas to its volume; he established that
electrical forces are transmitted through a
vacuum, but sound is not; and he also stated
that the movement of particles is responsible
for heat. He was the first person to write
specific experimental guidance for other
scientists, telling them the importance of
achieving reliable, repeatable results.

remains the same
size when
pressure
decreases and
volume increases.
This however, is
not the same
when pressure
increases and
volume decreases.
Boyle’s Law
• The inversely proportional relationship between the pressure and volume of a
gas.

Formula:
P1V1=P2V2
P1= initial pressure
V1= final pressure
P2= initial volume
V2= final volume
Sample problem:
• A cylinder of a scuba tank has a volume of 1500 mL at a pressure of 0.75 atm. What volume of air is
needed to fill the cylinder to a pressure of 100 atm at constant temperature?
Given:
Initial conditions Final conditions
P1= 0.75 atm P2= 100 atm
V1= 1500 mL V2= ?
To find V2, we use the formula: Answer: V2= 11.25 mL
1.) P1V1=P2V2 3.) V2=
0.75 atm x 1500 mL
100 atm
2.) V2= P1 x V1

P2
Sample problem:
• The air inside a flexible 3.5 L container at a pressure of 115 kPa. What should the volume be increased
to in order to decrease the pressure to 625 torr?
Given:
Initial conditions Final conditions
P1= 115 kPa = 862.8 torr P2= 625 torr
V1= 3.5 L V2= ?
To find V2, we use the formula: Answer: 4.83 L
1.) P1V1=P2V2 3.) V2=
862.8 torr x 3.5 L
625 torr
2.) V2= P1 x V1

P2
• 115 kPa x 625 torr = 862.8 torr
1 101. 3 kPa
SUMMARY/
REFLECTION
C
Gases are all around us. Oxygen. Carbon Dioxide. Helium. Nitrogen. These are the gases we
usually use in our everyday life cycle especially the Oxygen. Oxygen is an example of gas which is
needed by humans and animals. While Carbon dioxide is the most important component of air
needed by plants during photosynthesis. Thinking that these tiny particles have a huge and important
role in this earth. Yet, the remarkable feature of gases is that they appear to have no structure at all.
They have neither a definite size nor shape. There is a great deal of empty space between particles,
which have a lot of kinetic energy. The particles move very fast and freely that they always collide
into one another, causing them to spread out until they are evenly distributed throughout the volume
of the container. When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to
spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force or what we called pressure,
on the interior volume of the container.
To tell more about the behavior and properties of Gases, there is Robert Boyle's law that explains
with certainty wherein pressure and volume of gas are inversely proportional to one another. So, if
you push on gas, its volume becomes smaller and the pressure becomes higher. And if its volume
becomes higher then the pressure becomes smaller.
