Gas laws

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– describe the properties of an ideal gas
– state Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law and use them in calculations
– use the ideal gas law to calculate the density of a gas and the relative molecular mass of a volatile compound
– explain under what conditions real gases behave as ideal and how very low temperatures and extremely high pressures affect their behaviour.
