In this module, models of the gaseous state of matter will be used to explain molecular behaviour. The major concepts developed in this unit are properties of gases and Boyle’s law; Kelvin temperature, Charles’ law, and the combined gas law; law of combining volumes and Avogadro’s theory; and molar volume and the ideal gas law.

The essential questions you will investigate in this module are

What is the relationship among pressure, temperature, volume, and amount of a gas?
How is the behaviour of gases used in various technologies?
