Gas Laws Name Institution The 3 Gas Laws Introduction The three gas laws include: Gay-Lussac’s law‚ Boyle’s law and Charles’ law. When combined with Avogadro’s law the three laws can be generalized by the ideal gas law. Gases possess observable properties which include‚ mass‚ pressure (P)‚ thermodynamic temperature (T) and volume (V). These properties are related to each other and the state of a gas is determined by their values. The three laws are derived from these properties. Discussion

Addicted To Oil The United States uses nearly a quarter of the world’s oil. This would not be a problem if the U.S. had a large oil reserve but it only has 3% of the world’s reserves for 4% of the population (Pickens). This huge dependence on oil is costing us economically and also threatens our dreams. The United States needs to become more energy independent by using sources other than oil. Many alternative sources are available but renewable sources provide the brightest future.

We often lament that we can’t change the world; that we just have to accept things for what they are. More often than not we are right‚ we can’t change the world. Or can we?

Eleven workers were killed‚ an estimated 6‚000 barrels of oil leaked per day‚ and years of irreversible damage occurred

Natural resource Natural resources (economically referred to as land or raw materials) are naturally forming substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form. A natural resource’s value rests in the amount and extractability of the material available and the demand for it. The latter is determined by its usefulness to production. A commodity is generally considered a natural resource when the primary activities associated with it are extraction and purification
