Boyles Law

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

According to Boyle's Law, when the volume of a gas increases, the pressure decreases.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when its pressure decreases?

Back

The volume of the gas increases when the pressure decreases, as per Boyle's Law.

Front

If a gas occupies 4.98 L at 2.6 atm, what is the new volume at 1.8 atm?

Back

7.2 L.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

The formula is P1 * V1 = P2 * V2, where P is pressure and V is volume.

Front

What are the units of pressure commonly used in Boyle's Law?

Back

Common units include atmospheres (atm), pascals (Pa), and kilopascals (kPa).

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in Boyle's Law?

Back

Pressure and volume have an inverse relationship; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

If the pressure of a gas is halved, what happens to its volume?

Back

The volume doubles if the pressure is halved, according to Boyle's Law.

Front

What is the significance of Boyle's Law in real-life applications?

Back

Boyle's Law is used in various applications, such as in syringes, breathing mechanisms, and understanding how gases behave under pressure.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law assumes constant temperature; if temperature changes, the relationship between pressure and volume may not hold.
