Boyle's Law Practice

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 the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Front

If a gas occupies 4.98 L at 2.6 atm, what volume does it occupy at 1.8 atm?

Back

7.2 L

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure is decreased?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

If a gas at a volume of 4 liters is at a pressure of 2 atm, what is the new pressure when the volume is changed to 16 Liters?

Back

0.5 atm

Front

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

Back

As pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is the new volume of a gas if the pressure on 350 L of oxygen at 720 mm Hg is decreased to 600 mm Hg?

Back

420 L

Front

If the pressure on a sample of gas is increased from 1.0 atm to 3.0 atm, what is the original volume if the new volume is 0.52 L?

Back

1.56 L

Front

What is the unit of pressure commonly used in Boyle's Law?

Back

Atmospheres (atm) or millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).

Front

How does temperature affect Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law applies only when temperature is constant.
