(May 10. 2016)

This next and last!! unit we are covering before the final consists of gases. Overall, this is a pretty simple unit that just contains a lot of concepts and math equations that makes it a bit difficult to wrap your head around. 

Characteristics of gases:

Gases expand spontaneously to fill their container.

Gases are highly compressible.

Gases form homogeneous mixtures.

Gas molecules are relatively far apart from one another and exert little influence on each other. 

Units of Pressure:

Boyle's Law

The relationship between pressure and volume is an inverse relationship.

Holds true at a constant temperature. (Boyle's law doesn't boil.)
