Page 2: Real vs. Ideal Gases and Charles' Law
This page explores the differences between real and ideal gases, and introduces Charles' Law gas volume temperature relationship.
Definition: Charles' Law states that at constant pressure, gas volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
Example: When a gas volume of 10.0 mL at 20.0°C changes to 30.0°C at constant pressure, the volume increases proportionally with temperature.
The page explains how real gases can be made to behave more like ideal gases by:
- Increasing temperature
- Decreasing pressure
- Spreading particles further apart
