The first three topics we will cover in this class are the properties of gases, liquids, and solids. Section 10.1 sets the foundation for the next three chapters and outlines the general properties and differences of solids liquids and gases. The rest of Chapter 10 focuses on gases, starting with Pressure in Section 10.2. From the early 1600's to the 1800's, many chemists studied the properties of gases and as more empirical observations were made several Gas Laws (Section 10.3) were developed.
Robert Boyle studied the relationship between Pressure and Volume in what is now known as Boyle's Law. About 100 years later Jacques Charles looked into the relationship of Temperature and Volume to form Charles's Law. 20 years later Amedeo Avagadro proposed Avagadro's Law which relates Volume and the number of moles of a gas.
All of these law's help form the combined gas law which led to the ideal gas equation. We will go over several example problems of everything we talked about to this point Friday in lecture.
If you are keeping up with the material at this point you should read sections 10.1 - 10.5 by the time you come to lecture on Friday and you should also complete the 8 tutorials posted on Mastering Chemistry. All the quiz questions will be taken from the content of the Mastering Chemistry assignments.
Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Take a moment to write down the following personal characteristics: confidence, poise, imagination, initiative, tolerance, humility, love, cheerfulness, faith, enthusiasm, courage, honesty, serenity.
Circle all of the characteristics you possess. I hope you circled them all because they are all within us."
