Summarize the four gas laws.
What will be an ideal response?
1. The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures of the individual gases (Dalton's law).
2. Gases, singly or in a mixture, move from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.
3. If the volume of a container of gas changes, the pressure of the gas will change in an inverse manner (Boyle's law).
4. The pressure and volume of a container of gas are directly related to the temperature of the gas and the number of molecules in the container: PV = nRT (the ideal gas law).
