Boyle's and Charles' Law

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

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

Back

Pressure and volume are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

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

Back

The pressure decreases.

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

Charles' Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is held constant.

Front

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

Back

The volume increases.

Front

If the pressure of a gas is doubled while keeping the temperature constant, what happens to the volume?

Back

The volume is halved.

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.

Front

What is the effect of increasing pressure on the volume of a gas?

Back

Increasing pressure decreases the volume of the gas.

Front

What is the effect of decreasing temperature on the volume of a gas?

Back

Decreasing temperature decreases the volume of the gas.
