Document Summary

Gas law: a generalization that describes in mathematical terms the relationships among the amount, pressure, temperature, and volume of a gas. Boyle"s law: pressure and volume are inversely related (constant t, temperature, and n, # of moles) Charles" law: volume and temperature (in kelvin) are directly related (constant p and n;# of moles) Combined gas law: the product of the pressure and volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature. Ideal gas law: describes the relationships among the four variables - temperature, pressure, volume and molar amount for a gaseous substance (one comprehensive law, assumes ideal conditions. Kinetic molecular theory of matter: matter is composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that have definite and characteristic sizes that do not change. The size of the particle is much smaller than the distance between them: the particles are in constant random motion and therefore posses kinetic energy.
