Boyles, Charles & Combined Gas Laws review

Front

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

Back

The volume of the gas decreases.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. Mathematically, P1V1 = P2V2.

Front

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

Back

The volume of the gas increases.

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) at constant pressure. Mathematically, V1/T1 = V2/T2.

Front

What is the Combined Gas Law?

Back

The Combined Gas Law combines Boyle's Law and Charles's Law and states that P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2.

Front

How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.

Front

If the pressure of a gas is doubled, what happens to its volume?

Back

The volume of the gas is halved.

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 is the formula to calculate the new volume of a gas when temperature and pressure change?

Back

Use the Combined Gas Law: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas if the temperature is decreased while pressure remains constant?

Back

The volume of the gas decreases.
