Gas+Laws+Model

Summary Of the Applet The Gas Laws Model shows how Argon gas atoms behave, according to the laws of kinetic theory. You can control the temperature and the volume, and see how it affects the pressure (Pa) and the mean speed (m-s.1) along with a model of how the atoms would behave under such circumstances. It lets you investigate the relationship between pressure, volume and temperature for a gas.

Hints & Suggestions The instructions are given at the top of the page in clear bullet points. It is a simple applet. On the bottom of the page, it gives the gas laws the applet works with (Boyle's law and pressure law). There are three buttons on the applet, most of the time 'Initialize' and 'Clear' are not needed. You only need to choose the conditions in the drop-down list and click 'UPDATE' to see it working, you don't need to reset anything after each experiment.

Who Created the Applet The applet is created by Salve Regina University. More applets can be found by googling chem.salve.edu. It does not seem to have a homepage (or it's under construction) and no information is given about the actual author of the applets.
