  • Volume is measured by liters(L) in chemistry
  • Liters is also called cubic decimeter
  • If volume is constant the walls cannot move
  • when generalized variable is discussed, the symbol T is used.
  • Celsius is from Andres Celsius
  • The sign of celsius should always be in a capitalized letter
  • If we are converting celsius to kelvin we should use the formula C + 273.15
  • gas pressure is created by the molecules hitting the wall of a container. 
  • 3 different units of pressure used in chemistry are atmosphere, millimeters of mercury and kilopascals
  • kilopascal (kPa) = 1000 pascals
  • atmosphere (atm) = 101325 pascals
  • the amount of gas present is measured as moles(mol
  • Boyles law equation is P1V1 = P2V2
  • Standard pressure is defined as 1 atm or 760 mmHg/torr or 101.325 kPa and 101,325 Pa 
  • another very important gas behavior is kelvin scale(K)
  • kelvin is from lord kelvin, given name was William Thompson
  • when the generalized variable of amount in moles is discussed (n) is used as symbol
  • Higher V, Lower P and Higher P, Lower V
  • kelvin scale has no degree sign
  • boyles law - tempareature is constant
  • boyles law - P1V1 = P2V2
  • boyles law is from Robert Boyles
  • if p goes down by half then v will increase 2 times
  • charles law - T1V2 = T2V1
  • boyles law - inversely proportional
  • charles law - pressure is constant
  • charles law - directly proportional
  • charles law - Increase T, Increase V and Decrease T, Decrease V 
  • boyles law - Higher V, Lower P and Higher P, Lower V
  • Charles law is from Jacques Charles
  • gay lussacs law - directly proportional
  • gay lussacs law - volume is constant
  • gay lussacs law - P1T2 = P2T1
  • avogadros law - amadeo avogadro
  • avogadros law - volume is constant
  • avogadros law - V1n2 = V2n1
  • avogadros law - directly proportional
  • combined gas law - P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
  • R - gas constant = 0.0821(L * atm / mol * K)
  • Ideal gas law - PV = nRT
