Gas Laws Conceptual

Front

What happens to the volume of a balloon as the pressure decreases?

Back

The volume of the balloon increases.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in gases?

Back

They are indirectly related; as one increases, the other decreases (Boyle's Law).

Front

What occurs to the volume of a gas when it is cooled?

Back

The volume of the gas decreases.

Front

Define pressure in the context of gases.

Back

Pressure is created by the force of gas particles impacting the walls of their container.

Front

What happens to the pressure inside a balloon when it is inflated?

Back

The pressure inside the balloon increases.

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's Law?

Back

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

Front

How does temperature affect gas volume?

Back

As temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases if pressure is constant.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Front

What happens to gas pressure if the volume is halved?

Back

The pressure doubles, assuming temperature remains constant.
