Appendix E describes a useful study aid known as concept mapping. Using the method presented in Appendix E, construct a concept map illustrating the different concepts to show the relationships among all the gas laws described in this chapter.
To construct a concept map, one must first start with the most general concepts. These concepts are not defined by or in terms of other concepts discussed in those sections. In this chapter, pressure is the overarching concept (6-1). The topics that fall under the rubric of pressure are liquid and gas pressure, and measuring pressure. Simple gas laws are derived from the concept of pressure (6-2). Simple gas laws include Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, and Avogadro’s law. These laws combine to form another subtopic, the ideal gas equation and the general gas equation. Take a look at the subsection headings and problems for more refining of the general and specific concepts.
