Note from the author:

Discovering Design With Chemistry, Chapter 10: It's A Gas, Review Questions  from the chemistry book published by Berean Builders and written by Dr. Jay Wile.  These problems focus on the combine gas law, ideal gas law, Avogadro's Law, and Dalton's law of partial pressure. 

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Avogadro's Law		At a constant temperature, pressure an volume are inversely proportional to one another.
Charles's Law		At a constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional to one another.
Extrapolation		Extending a trend in data to situations for which no measurements have been made.
Boiling Point		Equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure have the same number of molecules (or atoms, if the gas is not made of molecules).
Boyle's Law		The temperature at which a liquid's vapor pressure is equal to the external air pressure.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
chlorine		0.22
krypton		0.33
xenon		0.55
