Gas Laws
Gas laws have an impact on several aspects of our lives. The S.T.E.M I decided to explore deals a great deal in thermodynamics in the gas law I chose chemistry. First off I have to explain what is the broad practice of chemistry. Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is the study of the composition, properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms, and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. Chemistry is also concerned with the interactions between atoms and various forms of energy Chemistry is sometimes called "the central science" because it bridges other natural sciences like physics, geology and biology with each other. Chemistry is a branch of physical science but distinct from physics. The origin of the word chemistry has been much disputed. The origin of chemistry can be traced to certain practices, known as alchemy, The scientific discipline that intersects the areas of chemistry and physic is commonly known as physical chemistry, and it is in that area that a thorough study of thermodynamics takes place. Physics concerns itself heavily with the mechanics of events in nature. Certainly changes in energy however measured, whether it be heat, light, work are clearly physical events that also have a chemical nature to them. Thermodynamics is the study of energy changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. From temperature, meaning energy, and "dynamics", which means the change over time. Thermodynamics can be roughly encapsulated with these topics: When scientists originally studied thermodynamics, they were really studying heat and thermal energy. Heat can do anything: move from one area to another, get atoms excited, and even increase energy. When you increase the heat in a system, you are really increasing the amount of energy in the system. you can see that the study of thermodynamics is the study of the amount of energy moving in and out of systems.
