The Ideal Gas
In this ideal gas worksheet, students read about the conditions necessary for an ideal gas to exist. They also read about the deviations from the ideal gas situation and answer four questions about ideal gases.
Curated OER
Floating Candles
Young scholars observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur. They also identify and interpret the relationship between pressure, volume, and number of molecules for gasses. Finally, students...
Curated OER
Chemistry Is a Gas
Students investigate the gas laws and how they apply to changes in gases. In this gas laws lesson, students use Boyle's Law and Charles' law to show the relationships between pressure and volume and volume and temperature of gases.
Curated OER
Gas Stoichiometry
In this gas stoichiometry worksheet, students use the ideal gas law and balanced chemical equations to solve for unknown values such as volume and mass of gases.
