GAS LAW VARIABLES

PRESSURE
Force applied over specific area

Gas Pressure: caused by gas molecules


striking objects or walls of container
(high pressure means hits container a lot)

Air Pressure: Gases that make up air pushing


down on us all the time!

UNITS OF PRESSURE
atm (atmosphere)

at sea level & 25C

Pascal (Pa) or kilopascal (kPa)


Torr
mm Hg
psi (lb/in2)

= 1atm

TEMPERATURE OF GASES

Directly related to average kinetic


energy (energy of motion) of gas
molecules

UNITS OF TEMPERATURE

Degrees Fahrenheit (F)


Degrees Celsius (C)
Kelvin (K)
***Temperature must be in KELVIN for gas laws***
C + 273 = K

VOLUME OF GASES

The amount of space a gas takes


up (the volume of the container)

UNITS OF VOLUME

Liters (L)
Milliliters (mL)
Meters cubed (m3)
Centimeters cubed (cm3)
