Gas laws

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 held 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 the volume of a gas when the pressure decreases?

Back

The volume of the gas increases.

Front

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

Front

Define 'inversely proportional relationship' in the context of gas laws.

Back

An inversely proportional relationship means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Front

Define 'directly proportional relationship' in the context of gas laws.

Back

A directly proportional relationship means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

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's Law?

Back

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

Front

What happens to a balloon when it is taken to a higher altitude?

Back

The pressure decreases, causing the volume of the balloon to increase, which may lead to it popping.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and volume according to Charles's Law?

Back

The relationship is a direct relationship; as temperature increases, volume increases.
