Gases(7) Science concepts. The student
knows the variables that influence the behavior of gases. The student is expected to:
(A) describe interrelationships among
temperature, particle number, pressure, and volume of contained within a closed system; and
(B) illustrate the data obtained from
investigations with gases in a closed system and determine if the data are consistent with the Universal Gas Law.
(4) (C) compare solids, liquids, and gases in terms of compressibility, structure, shape, and volume Supporting
(9) Science concepts. The student
understands the principles of ideal gas behavior, kinetic molecular theory, and the conditions that influence the behavior of gases. The student is expected to:
(A) describe and calculate the
relations between volume, pressure, number of moles, and temperature for an ideal gas as described by Boyle's law, Charles' law, Avogadro's law, Dalton's law of partial pressure, and the ideal gas law Readiness

Gases - CCRS Properties and behavior of gases, liquids, and
solids
1. Understand the behavior of matter in its various states: solid, liquid, and gas.
a. Describe how gas pressure is affected by volume, temperature, and the addition of gas.
b. Describe the behavior of solids, liquids, and gases under changes in pressure.
Gases - CCRS3. Understand principles of ideal gas behavior and
kinetic molecular theory. a. Use the kinetic molecular theory to explain how
gas pressure is affected by volume, temperature, and the addition of gas.
b. Distinguish between real and ideal gas behavior, and identify the criteria in the kinetic molecular theory that conflict with the properties of real gases.
4. Apply the concept of partial pressures in a mixture
of gases. a. Use Dalton’s Law to determine the partial
pressure of a gas in a mixture of gases.
