Gas Laws

Welcome to Gas Laws, dedicated to teaching the ideal gas behavior. If you are interested in understanding the relationships among the properties of the ideal gas, or familiarizing yourself with the equations for related calculations, feel free to make use of our services. Just a couple of notes before you begin:

First, to insure that our focus topic, Gas Laws, is covered comprehensively, no other topics of chemistry or other sciences will be discussed to great detail here.

And second, the following are the components of what is known as the Kinetic Molecular Gas Theory:

1. Gases are considered the simplest state of matter

2. Gases are composed of molecules in random order

3. Molecules collide elastically

4. Molecules collide with walls of container to exert pressure

5. A zero force of attraction is assumed between molecules

v Please note that the Molecular Gas Theory defines the Ideal Gas. Consequently, the above are assumptoins we make throughout our presentations.

Now you are ready to enter the world of Gas Laws,

here are five items that might aid you on your journey:

First a few Basic Concepts,

some Basic Conversions,

common Abbreviations ,

a Glossary , and

the Periodic Table

Enjoy the Adventure.....
