14.3 Behavior of Gases

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

Charles' Law states that if the pressure on a gas is kept constant, then the volume of the gas increases as the temperature increases.

Front

What must be kept constant for Charles' Law to apply?

Back

Pressure must be kept constant.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that if the temperature of a gas is kept constant, then the volume of the gas decreases as the pressure increases.

Front

What must be kept constant for Boyle's Law to apply?

Back

Temperature must be kept constant.

Front

What is the unit of volume in Boyle's Law?

Back

Liters.

Front

What is the equation for Charles' Law?

Back

Initial Volume / Initial Temperature = Final Volume / Final Temperature.

Front

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

Back

The volume of the gas decreases.

Front

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

Back

The pressure of the gas increases.

Front

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

Back

They are directly proportional.

Front

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

Back

They are inversely proportional.
