Boyles Law

Front

What does Boyle's Law state about the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas?

Back

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

Front

If the pressure of a gas increases, what happens to its volume according to Boyle's Law?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when it is taken from a high-pressure environment to a low-pressure environment?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

In Boyle's Law, if the initial pressure is 1.0 atm and the initial volume is 15 L, what will the volume be if the pressure is reduced to 0.5 atm?

Back

30 L.

Front

What type of graph represents the relationship between pressure and volume in Boyle's Law?

Back

A hyperbolic graph.

Front

What is the significance of the PV constant in Boyle's Law?

Back

The product of pressure and volume (PV) remains constant for a given amount of gas at a constant temperature.

Front

How does Boyle's Law apply to a balloon being taken to a higher altitude?

Back

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases, causing the volume of the balloon to expand.

Front

What is meant by 'inversely proportional' in the context of Boyle's Law?

Back

It means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Front

If a gas occupies a volume of 10 L at 2 atm, what will be its volume at 1 atm?

Back

20 L.
