Student Learning Map: Unit 08 Gas Laws
Key Learning(s):



Pressure, volume, temperature and mass are properties used to define a gas.
The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains how changes in temperature, pressure, volume and mass of a gas affect each other.
Mathematical relationships can predict the temperature, pressure, volume or mass of gases.
Unit EQs:

How do gases behave?

How can we quantify that behavior?
Students will know:
 The equations for Dalton’s Law, Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, Guy Lussac’s
Law, Avogadro’s Law, the Combined Gas Law and the Ideal Gas Law.
 Standard temperature and pressure (STP).
 Molar volume at STP.
Students will be able to:
 Develop a model that explains the behavior of gases and quantifies the
relationship between temperature, pressure, volume and mass.
 Use gas law equations to predict the temperature, pressure, volume or
mass of a gas given the other three variables.
