The Ideal Mole and the Law
Data Story
The ideal gas law has four variables and one constant. As the number of moles increases, interpret what is happening in three different sections of the graph ("scenarios").
Welcome to this Tuva data story! Avogadro recognized that adding more molecules or moles of a gas increases the volume of the gas, but only if you let the volume expand and don’t let the pressure and temperature change. In this data story, you will explore three 'scenarios' for an ideal gas that is plotted in one graph. As more moles are added (x axis), only one of the other attributes is allowed to change.
