FOURTH QUARTER/ WEEK 1/ DAY 01

Learning Target

In this module you will investigate the relationship between:

1. volume and pressure at constant temperature of a gas;
2. volume and temperature at constant pressure of a gas; and
3. explain these relationships using the kinetic molecular theory.

Your Lesson for Today

For today’s lesson, you will investigate the relationship between volume and pressure at
constant temperature of a gas through home experiment (ex. Marshmallow in a Syringe, Scuba Diver's
Activity, Cartesian Diver Experiment, etc.)

LET’S BEGIN:
Have you experience diving to a deep water?

If you haven’t experience diving you may wonder, what experiences do divers have as they
descend (go down) and ascend (go up) in the water?

Learning to dive is an incredible experience and it requires understanding of the basic principles
of the behavior of gas to dive safely and effectively, because diving can expose to danger. It is about
getting gas into your body while you are underwater. As the diver descends, water pressure increases
and the volume of the air in the body (lungs) decreases making them hard to breathe. As the diver
ascends, water pressure decreases and the volume of the air in the body (lungs) increases. This implies
inverse relationship between volume and pressure which means as the pressure increases the volume
decreases, and vice versa.

In this module you are going to perform a task to further understand a diver as you investigate
the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas at constant temperature.

ACTIVITY: A CARTESIAN DIVER

I. Objective: To design a Cartesian Diver in order to investigate the relationship between
volume and pressure at constant temperature.

LET’S CONNECT!
The activity that you have performed is the same principle we apply in breathing mechanism.

Breathing happens when the muscles around the lungs contract and relax changing the volume
of air passages (bronchi and bronchioles) inside the lungs. When the volume of the air inside the lungs
changes, the pressure of the air in the lungs changes in accordance with Boyle’s law.

During inhalation, the diaphragm (the skeletal muscle below the lungs) and the external
intercostal muscles contract causes an increase in the thoracic cavity and elevates the ribs and
sternum. This movement causes the lungs to expand thus increasing the volume of air inside. In
response, to the increasing volume of air inside, the air pressure inside the lungs decreases. Because
gases move from regions of high pressure to low pressure, air rushes into the lungs.

During exhalation, the diaphragm (the skeletal muscle below the lungs) and the external
intercostal muscles relax. In response, the elastic fibers in lung tissue cause the lungs to return to their
original volume. The pressure of the air inside the lungs then increases above the air pressure outside
the body, thus, the volume of the air inside the lungs decreases, air rushes out of the lungs.

Boyle's Law applies only when the temperature does not change.

Volume increases Volume decreases

Pressure decreases Pressure increases

MODULE IN SCIENCE 10
FOURTH QUARTER/ WEEK 1/ DAY 02

Learning Target

In this module you will plot data and solve problems on volume and pressure relationship at
constant temperature of a gas.

Your Lesson for Today

In this module you will graph the volume of gas against the pressure applied on them at a
given temperature and solve problems involving volume-pressure relationship.

BRIEF DISCUSSION

The law was named after an English chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original
law in 1662. Boyle showed that the volume of air trapped by a liquid in the closed short limb of a J-
shaped tube decreased in exact proportion to the pressure produced by the liquid in the long part of
the tube.

Boyle’s Law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle-Mariotte Law) states that the absolute pressure and
volume of a given mass of confined gas are inversely proportional, provided the temperature remains
unchanged within a closed system, that is when one doubles, the other is reduced by half. This can
be written mathematically as follows:
1
P α
V

where P and V are the pressure and volume of the gas, respectively. To get rid of the proportionality
sign (α), proportionality constant k is being introduced.
k
V=
P

PV = k

Consider two (2) conditions. If P1 and V1 represent the pressure and volume in the first condition,
respectively, while P2 and V2 represent the pressure and volume in the second condition, then
k = P1V1
k = P2V2
Hence,
P1V1 = P2V2 (General formula of Boyle’s Law)
where,
P1 = initial pressure (P) V1 = initial volume (V)
P2 = final pressure (P) V2 = final volume (V)

To better understand Boyle’s Law, look at the example and try to understand how the law shows an
inverse proportion between pressure and volume relationship.

Figure 2. Graph of pressure and volume in a Boyle’s law experiment

APPLICATION:
Boyle’s Law applies in the following:

1. The use of syringe when giving an injection for medical treatment. The increase in the volume
of air inside the syringe creates a low pressure when you pull the plunger which draws the liquid
from the vial into the syringe.

2. Water pump works by increasing volume, as a result creating a low pressure or vacuum which
causes water under normal pressure to flow into the pipe.

3. In breathing, our lungs expand when we inhale which results in greater volume of air and less
pressure. On the contrary, our lungs contract when we exhale that brings a decrease in the
volume of air and greater pressure.

4. Tires are inflated using a bicycle pump to decrease the volume of air, so cars and other vehicles
can move with ease and speed. The pressure of air inside the tire makes it to be always in good
shape and to provide comfortable ride even when the car is passing through rough roads.

5. Spray paint or aerosol spray contains two substances, one of them is the paint material itself,
and the other is a compressed gas in a liquid state in the container. Although the liquefied gas
boiling point is less than room temperature, it does not actually boil in the container and does
not turn into gas because the container is best sealed. As soon as you press the sprayer and
the gas starts to get out of the container, the boiling state starts, the liquefied gas expands and
turns into gas, and the gas presses the paint inside the container. The paint material is pushed
up to get out of the sprayer nozzle with gas escaping from the container.

GENERALIZATION:
Boyle's law is an experimental gas law that describes how the pressure of a gas tends to increase as
the volume of the container decreases. A modern statement of Boyle's law is:
“The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the
volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.”
Mathematically, Boyle's law can be stated as:

Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume

or
PV = k Pressure multiplied by volume equals some constant k
where, P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant.
The equation states that the product of pressure and volume is a constant for a given mass of confined
gas and this holds as long as the temperature is constant. It also shows that, as volume increases, the
pressure of the gas decreases in proportion. Similarly, as volume decreases, the pressure of the gas
increases. There is an inverse proportion between volume and pressure

MODULE IN SCIENCE 10 (MATTER)

FOURTH QUARTER/ WEEK 1/ DAY 03

Learning Target

In this module you will investigate the relationship between:

1. volume and pressure at constant temperature of a gas;
2. volume and temperature at constant pressure of a gas; and
3. explain these relationships using the kinetic molecular theory.

Your Lesson for Today

In this module you will describe the relationship between volume and temperature at
constant pressure from a given data/graph/simulation/video clips/etc.

BRIEF DISCUSSION

To describe the physical behavior of gas, variables such as volume, pressure, and temperature
are used. In your previous lesson, you describe the relationship of volume and pressure at constant
temperature. Today, we are going to describe the relationship of volume and temperature at
constant pressure of a gas.

In 1800, Jacques Charles describes the relationship

between volume and temperature at constant pressure. In his
experiment, he confined gas particles in a container and
changes the temperature on it. He noticed that at constant
pressure when temperature is increase in the container (as
shown in figure b), the kinetic energy of the gas particles
increases and they move faster, thus, they expand and they
take up more spaces. On the other hand, when the
temperature is decrease in the container (as shown in figure
a), the kinetic energy of the gas particles decreases and they
come near each other thus, the gas particles contract, and the
(a) (b)
amount of space they occupy is reduce.

The table below shows the volume of gas particles in a given temperature at constant pressure.

Table 1.1 Table 1.2

400 160 100 10
500 200 50 5

Notice from the given data, that the volume occupied by gas particles is directly proportional to the
temperature at constant pressure. This means, that as the temperature increases the volume also
increases (as shown in table 1.1), and when the temperature decreases the volume decreases (as
shown in table 1.2).

If we plot the given data, the volume and temperature values will result to a straight-line graph indicating
direct relationship between volume and temperature as shown in the diagram below.

This means V=K or V = k T

Where: V is the volume of the gas measured in Liter (L)

and K is constant

To compare changing conditions of gas particles this equation can be expressed as:

V1 = VF or V1TF = VFT1
T1 TF

Where: V1 is the initial volume

VF is the final volume
T1 is the initial temperature
TF is the final temperature

This equation describes how gas particles expands as the temperature increases and decreases in
volume when the temperature decreases. This principle is called Charles’ law, named after Jacques
Charles who formulated volume and temperature relationship in gases at constant pressure.

Party balloon illustrates application of this principle. That is, when the party balloon
is heated (temperature increases) it expands (volume increases), and when it is
cooled (temperature decreases) it shrinks (volume decreases).

Everyday experiences tell us that when an object is heated it

expands and when cooled it shrinks. Another example of this is when
you leave the basketball in a cold room or outside the house. During
cold months the air inside the balloon have less kinetic energy, the
molecules inside move slowly therefore less collision takes place
inside the walls of the balloon decreasing its size or volume. Drop in
temperature causes the decrease in the size of the balloon.

MODULE IN SCIENCE (MATTER) GRADE 10

FOURTH QUARTER/ WEEK 1/ DAY 04

Learning Target

In this module you will investigate the relationship between:

1. volume and pressure at constant temperature of a gas;
2. volume and temperature at constant pressure of a gas; and
3. explain these relationships using the kinetic molecular theory.

Your Lesson for Today

In this module you will calculate for each unknown volume and temperature of a gas at constant
pressure of which we call the Charles’ Law.

BRIEF DISCUSSION
As you have seen in the previous discussion about gases, there are a lot of interesting field of study
about them. You have seen how the behavior of a gas particularly its volume is affected by pressure and
temperature.
You have learned in your previous module that Charles’ Law explains the relationship between volume
and temperature of gases. It states that “The volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure is
directly proportional to its absolute temperature.”
To illustrate Charles’ Law in a graph, it will be like this based on data gathered:

The above graph is a volume vs temperature graph plotted at a constant pressure for a fixed amount
of gas. As we can observe from the graph the volume increases with an increase in the temperature, and
vice versa. Thus, volume is directly proportional to temperature at a constant pressure.

Mathematically, Charles’ Law is expressed as:

Vα T at constant pressure

Introducing a constant(k) into the proportionality results in the equation:

V = kT where, V=k
T

This shows that volume is directly proportional to Kelvin temperature at constant pressure. Charles' Law
can also be used to compare changing conditions for a gas. Hence, the mathematical relationship of Charles's
Law becomes:

Page 16 of 20
 MODULE CODE: PASAY-S10MT-Q4-W1-D4

Name: ___________________________________________________ Date: ______________________

Name of Teacher: _______________________________________ Section : ___________________

where V1= original volume or initial volume of the gas

V2 = new volume or final volume of the gas

T1 = original or initial Kelvin temperature of the gas

T2 = new or final Kelvin temperature of the gas

Derived formulas for solving volume-temperature relationship:

Based on the mathematical statement of Charles’ Law, we can derive the formula
for V1, V2, T1, and T2.

• Derive the formula for V1:

By cross multiplication, the equation will be: V1T2 = V2T1

To derive the equation for V1, divide both equation by T2:

Therefore, the formula for V1 is

• Derive the formula for V2:

By cross multiplication, the equation will be: V1T2 = V2T1

To derive the equation for V2, divide both equation by T1:

Therefore, the formula for V2 is

• Derive the formula for T1:

By cross multiplication, the equation will be: V1T2 = V2T1

To derive the equation for T1, divide both equation by V2:

Therefore, the formula for T1 is

• Derive the formula for T2:

By cross multiplication, the equation will be: V1T2 = V2T1

To derive the equation for T2, divide both equation by V1:

Therefore, the formula for T2 is

Some points to remember in solving problems on gases:

• The temperature used is always the absolute temperature in Kelvin (K).
• To convert oC to K: K= oC + 273
• Some units used for volume(V) are mL, L, cm3 / cc
• Some units used for pressure are atmosphere (atm), Pascal (Pa), Torr, mmHg
• STP means standard temperature and pressure. Standard pressure = 1 atmosphere (atm)
Standard temperature = 0oC or 273K

Suggested steps that may be adapted in solving worded problems:

1. Read and understand the problem.
2. Identify correctly the given in the problem.
3. Identify the unknown.
4. Write the formula to be used.
5. Write the solution by substituting the formula with the given.
6. Perform indicated fundamental operations in the formula.
7. Always remember to label your final answer.

Now, study the following sample problems on volume-temperature relationship to prepare you to solve
problems on your own.

Sample Problems:
1. A sample of gas occupies a volume of 50.0mL at 25oC and 1 atm pressure. If the pressure remains
unchanged, what will be the new volume at 0oC?
