Module 3—Behaviour of Gases

Module Introduction

 

Throughout Module 3, 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
  • molar volume and the ideal gas law

Think about the following questions as you complete this module:

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

Module 3 will culminate with a final assignment. For more information on the assignment and how you will be assessed, refer to the Unit Assessment section.
