The pressure-volume relationship of Boyle s law and the volume-temperature relationship of Charles law are both seen in the combined gas law. As with Charles law, temperature must be in Kelvins. The combined gas law applies to all gases and mixtures of gases. If five of the six terms are known, the sixth can be calculated. 

These read, respectively Gas volume is inversely proportional to pressure, and Gas volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. The two relationships can be combined into one as... 

This equation can be solved for any one of the six variables and is useful in dealing with the pressure-volume-temperature relationships of gases. Note what happens to the combined gas law when one of the variables is constant ... 

A gas sample often undergoes changes in temperature, pressure, and volume all at the same time. When this happens, three variables must be dealt with at once. Boyle s law, Charles s law, and Gay-Lussac s law can be combined into a single expression that is useful in such situations. The combined gas law expresses the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of a fixed amount of gas. The combined gas law can be expressed as follows ... 

All of the pressure-volume-temperature relationships for gases that we have studied may be combined into a single relationship called the combined gas law. This expression is useful for studying the effect of changes in two of these variables on the third as long as the amount of gas (number of moles) remains constant. 

This combined relationship serves to relate the properties of a fluid in a closed system, but does not permit the absolute calculation of any specific property, since the amount of the substance present is not known. For that, we require Avogadro s law, developed in 1811 by Amedeo Avogadro, which states that the number of molecules (n) in a specific volume of fluid (V) at a given pressure (P) and temperature (7) is always the same. Together, this provides the ideal gas law, which can be used to relate the properties of the ideal gas under any conditions. 

Charles and Gay-Lussac, working independently, found that gas pressure varied with the absolute temperature. If the volume was maintained constant, the pressure would vary in proportion to the absolute temperature [I j. Using a proportionality constant R, the relationships can be combined to form the equation of state for a perfect gas, otherwi.se known as the perfect gas law. 

The law of combining volumes, like so many relationships involving gases, is readily explained by the ideal gas law. At constant temperature and pressure, volume is directly proportional to number of moles (V = kin). It follows that for gaseous species involved in reactions, the volume ratio must be the same as the mole ratio given by the coefficients of the balanced equation. 

We have already seen that the behavior of gases is important to a chemist. The pressure-volume behavior leads to the particle model of a gas. Differences among gases (in properties such as color, odor, and solubility) show that the particles of one gas differ from the particles of another gas. In chemical reactions, the simple combining volume relationships support Avo-gadro s Hypothesis and, hence, give us a way to measure molecular weights. 

As discussed earlier, the mean drift velocity is the volume flux, Jv [see Eq. (70)]. Using the ideal gas equation to relate volume flow to molar flow [see Eq. (71)], the relationship between mean drift velocity and molar flux J may be written as um = (RTIPa)J. With this expression for um, Eqs. (80) and (81) are combined to give the desired expression for molar flux,... 

Background This experiment uses the concept of continuous variation to determine mass and mole relationships. Continuous variation keeps the total volume of two reactants constant, but varies the ratios in which they combine. The optimum ratio would be the one in which the maximum amount of both reactants of known concentration are consumed and the maximum amount of product(s) is produced. Since the reaction is exothermic, and heat is therefore a product, the ratio of the two reactants that produces the greatest amount of heat is a function of the actual stoichiometric relationship. Other products that could be used to determine actual molar relationships might include color intensity, mass of precipitate formed, amount of gas evolved, and so on. 

It is possible to combine Avogadro s law and the combined gas law to produce the ideal gas equation, which incorporates the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount relationships of a gas. The ideal gas equation has the form of... 

The gas laws relate the physical properties of volume, pressure, temperature, and moles (amount) to each other. First we will examine the individual gas law relationships. You will need to know these relations for the AP exam, but the use of the individual equation is not required. Then we will combine the relationships in to a single equation that you will need to be able to apply. But first, we need to describe a few things concerning pressure. 

Most gas law experiments use either the combined gas law or the ideal gas equation. Moles of gas are a major factor in many of these experiments. The combined gas law can generate the moles of a gas by adjusting the volume to STP and using Avogadro s relationship of 22.4 L/mol at STE The ideal gas equation gives moles from the relationship n = PV/RT. 

The properties of a gas can be described by four interrelated quantities pressure, volume, temperature, and number of particles. Boyles, Charles s, and Avo-gadro s gas laws each describe how one quantity varies relative to another so long as the remaining two are held constant. We can combine these three laws into a single law, called the ideal gas law, which shows the relationship of all these quantities in a single equation ... 

Combining the above relationships and Avogadro s principle (under constant pressure andf temperature, equal volumes of gas contain the equal numbers of moleci csj nTo one equation wc obtain the Ideal Gas Law ... 

In this unit, you will learn about the relationships between the pressure, temperature, volume, and number of moles of a gas. You will see how all these relationships are combined in the ideal gas law an equation that predicts the behaviour of a gas in almost any situation. 

You have already learned that the ideal gas law can be used to solve for different variables in several different types of situations. As you may recall, the term stoichiometry" refers to the relationship between the number of moles of the reactants and the number of moles of the products in a chemical reaction. In this section, you will learn how to use Gay-Lussac s law of combining volumes and the ideal gas law to solve stoichiometric problems that involve gases. 

These relationships showing how the volume of a gas depends on pressure, temperature, and number of moles of gas present can be combined as follows ... 

By using this fact in combination with the relationship density = massl volume, we can work out how much gas in moles or in grammes is present in any volume under different conditions. It is probably easiest to show this using an example. 

Describe the relationships between gas behavior and chemical formulas, such as those expressed by Graham s law of diffusion, Gay-Lussac s law of combining volumes, and Dalton s law of partial pressures. 

In using the basic gas laws, we have made use of four variables pressure, P, volume, K absolute temperature, T, and number of moles, n. Boyle s law, Charles s law, Gay-Lussac s law, and Avogadro s law can be combined into one equation that gives the relationship between all four variables, P,V, T, and n, for any sample of gas. This relationship is called the ideal gas law. When any three variables are given, the fourth can be calculated. The ideal gas law is represented mathematically below. 

Because pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles present are all interrelated, it would be helpful if one equation could describe their relationship. Remember that the combined gas law relates volume, temperature, and pressure of a sample of gas.
