Units of pressure

In this unit we are going to have to make a lot of conversions especially for pressure. There are a variety of ways to measure pressure!

An example of a conversion is:
Convert 1 Pa to Atm and the answer would be 9.8692 X 10^-6 atm.

Avagadro's Law

Avagadro's Law portrays the relationship between moles and volume. Through his law we can see that when the moles increase the volume increases and what the moles decrease the volume decreases making this relationship proportional.
*Make sure to keep temperature and pressure constant
*Another important thing to remember is Avagadro's number: 6.02 X 10^23
Here is the equation you use to find the amount of moles in a gas:

Charles Law

Charles law explains the relationship between temperature and volume. Through this law we are able to see that temperature and volume have a proportional relationship meaning as one increase the other increase and vise versa. We can see this in the following equation:

With each of these new laws we must make sure everything else is held at a constant. For example, for Charles law you need to ensure that pressure is kept constant.

Boyles law

Boyles law tells us the relationship between pressure and volume:

In this law we see that pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other. We can also see this is the equation:
