Boyle's and Charles' Law

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

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

Back

The pressure decreases.

Front

What unit is used to measure temperature in gas laws?

Back

Kelvin (K)

Front

What type of relationship exists between pressure and volume of a gas?

Back

Inverse relationship.

Front

Which container has lower pressure if one is larger than the other?

Back

The larger container (left) has lower pressure.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

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

Front

If the temperature of a gas increases, what happens to its volume according to Charles' Law?

Back

The volume 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' Law?

Back

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