Charles' Law and Boyle's Law

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 two variables are compared in Charles's Law?

Back

Volume and temperature.

What type of proportionality exists between volume and temperature in Charles's Law?

Back

Direct proportionality.

Front

What remains constant in Charles's Law?

Back

Pressure.

Front

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

Back

The volume increases.

Front

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

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

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

Back

The volume doubles.

Front

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

Back

The pressure doubles.
