Gas Laws

Front

What happens to pressure when volume increases, according to Boyle's Law?

Back

Pressure decreases.

Front

What occurs to the particles of matter when the temperature increases?

Back

The particles speed up and move farther apart.

Front

What is the effect on the volume of a gas when it is cooled?

Back

The volume will decrease.

Front

True or False: Gases can be compressed.

Back

True.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and volume when pressure is held constant?

Back

As temperature increases, volume increases.

Front

What is the formula for converting Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

K = °C + 273.15.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin when pressure is constant.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature is held constant.

Front

What happens to gas pressure if the temperature is increased while keeping the volume constant?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin.
