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.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when its temperature decreases?

Back

The volume will decrease.

Front

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

Back

Direct proportionality.

Front

What type of relationship do pressure and volume have in Boyle's Law?

Back

Inverse relationship.

Front

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

Back

The temperature increases.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas if its volume decreases while temperature remains constant?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

In Charles's Law, if the temperature is doubled, what happens to the volume?

Back

The volume also doubles, assuming pressure is constant.

Front

In Boyle's Law, if the volume of a gas is halved, what happens to the pressure?

Back

The pressure doubles, assuming temperature is constant.
