TAKE OUT PEN AND PAPERPREDICT – Think quietly to yourself OBSERVE – Write down three possible possible explanations

EXPLAIN – Pair with the person next to you to come up with a solution

LISTEN – With your partner, listen to the class and revise your explanations

Observe the water and container. Think of your surroundings…How is this possible?

Gas Behavior

Smaller area means

more pressure

More force means more pressure

SI Base Units for pressure = Pascals (Pa) Pascal = Newton/meter2

(Force / area)

Pressure = Force/Area

What are some examples of gas pressure being exerted?

How could we change the amount of pressure being exerted?

GAS PRESSURE IS AFFECTED BY… *Changing Temperature *

*Changing Volume * Adding more gas

(…more particles means more pressure)

Pressure and Volume – Boyle’s Law1) How does the volume of the air in the

dropper change as pressure is applied?

2) Is it a positive or negative relationship?

3) What would the graph of Pressure vs. Volume look like?

With the person sitting next to you…draw the graph. Explain in your own words why it looks as it does.

Pressure vs. Volume

Pressure vs. VolumeAs pressure increases the volume decreases

IFthe

temperature and

amount of gas remain constant!!

There are many rough roads in the desert. 4x4 driving is a popular hobby for the people living there.

Flat tires are part of the experience…

Most flats occur in the afternoon and early

evening. WHY?

Volume and temperature – Charles’ Law

What would you expect the relationship of volume and temperature to be?

Charles’ Law – Volume and Temp.

As temperature of a gas increases, the volume increases

V

T

IF…The pressure is constant and the amount of gas does not

change!!

1) What variables change as the balloon rises?

2) How does each change affect the volume of the balloon.

3) How could you ensure that the balloon does not burst until the desired altitude?

READ THIS:Weather balloons are used to collect data

about the atmosphere and weather patterns.

Combined Gas LawPRESSURE, VOLUME, and TEMPERATURE

interact in predictable ways…

So…if you know pressure and temperature…If you know volume and pressure…

Can you think of any real-world applications of this knowledge??
