P2 Boyle's and Charles' Law

Front

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 Charles' Law?

Back

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

Front

True or False: Gases can be compressed.

Back

True

Front

What happens to gas particles when pressure increases?

Back

Increasing the pressure on a gas sample moves the gas particles closer together.

Front

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

Back

They have an inverse relationship.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and volume in Charles' Law?

Back

They have a direct relationship.

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

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 in Kelvin.
