Pressure-Temperature Relationships in Gases Viewed Using a Kinetic-Molecular Model

How is the pressure and temperature of an ideal gas related? The movies below can be used to work through the

Guided Inquiry Activity - Gas Laws. Use the movie below along with this guided inquiry activity to invent the relationship between pressure and temperature for an ideal gas.

Print out the activity and use the two movies below to obtain data for the activity. The first movie shows how particles move in a gas sample by tracing the path of one gas particle in the sample. This movie should help answer questions IA. and IB.

 

The movie you are looking at was captured from a simulation (Java) available http://genchem1.chem.okstate.edu/CCLI/Startup.html (MoLE Website). The MoLE Website contains guided and open-inquiry activities that use Java, Flash, or HTML5 simulations for data collection. The activities are designed to guide student towards inventing concepts including; the ideal gas law, reversible reactions, Le Chatelier's principle, equilibrium constants, reaction mechanisms, Faraday's Law and many others.



The second movie shows how the pressure exerted by a gas sample changes when the temperature of the gas is changed while holding the number of moles of gas and volume of the gas, constant.This movie should help answers the remaining parts of the activity.
