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 is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases, as pressure and volume are inversely related.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas if its volume is doubled?

Back

The pressure is halved, assuming temperature remains constant.

Front

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

Back

They are inversely proportional.

Front

How do you calculate the final volume of a gas if the initial pressure and volume are known?

Back

Use the formula P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ to solve for the final volume.

Front

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

Back

Boyle's Law applies only when temperature is constant.

Front

What causes gas pressure?

Back

Gas pressure is caused by gas molecules colliding with surfaces.

Front

If a gas has a volume of 4.0 L at 90.0 kPa, what is its volume at 20.0 kPa?

Back

The new volume is 18.0 L.

Front

What is an example of an application of Boyle's Law?

Back

Syringes and breathing mechanisms in the lungs.
