Boyle's and Charles' Law

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure increases?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas when volume increases?

Back

The pressure decreases.

Front

What does Charles' Law describe?

Back

The relationship between volume and temperature of a gas.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when its temperature decreases (with pressure constant)?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What type of relationship exists between pressure and volume of a gas?

Back

Inverse relationship.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

At constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.

Front

If the temperature of a gas is doubled (at constant pressure), what happens to the volume?

Back

The volume doubles.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P1V1 = P2V2 (where P is pressure and V is volume).

Front

What is the formula for Charles' Law?

Back

V1/T1 = V2/T2 (where V is volume and T is temperature in Kelvin).
