Many chemical
reactions are accompanied by the formation of a gas or occur entirely
in the gaseous state. Measuring gas parameters, such as volume
and temperature, gives information about the stoichiometry of
the reaction and the energy changes that accompany the reaction.
The gas parameters are: density, pressure, volume, and temperature.
These parameters do not change independently, but are linked together
and described quantitatively by the gas laws. The idea that gases
consist of a large number of tiny particles moving randomly in
all possible directions provides the modern explanation for the
gas laws and is the foundation of the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
