GAS LAWS Properties of Gases Gases expand into any available volume • gas molecules escape from open containers. Gases are completely miscible • once mixed they will not spontaneously separate. Gases are described in terms of T‚ P‚ V and n Volume‚ Amount and Temperature • A gas expands uniformly to fill the container in which it is placed – The volume of the container is the volume of the gas – Volume may be in liters‚ mL‚ or cm3 • The temperature of a gas must be indicated

Do Gas Stations cause soil pollution? Soils are extremely important parts of every ecosystem. They are a home to many microbes and provide vital nutrients to the plants that live in them. pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution‚ and most organisms have a very small range of pH values in which they can survive. 7 is considered neutral‚ lower than 7 is acidic (lemon juice‚ rain water) and above 7 is basic (bleach‚ soap). Lots of urban areas are dependent on car transportation‚
