Boyle and Charles' Law

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What type of relationship exists between pressure and volume?

Back

Inverse relationship.

Front

Which container will have a lower pressure if one is larger than the other?

Back

The larger container (left) will have lower pressure.

Front

What are the three main terms involved in Gas Laws?

Back

Pressure, Temperature, Volume.

Front

How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

Add 273 to the Celsius temperature.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

At constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P1V1 = P2V2, where P is pressure and V is volume.

Front

What is the formula for Charles' Law?

Back

V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V is volume and T is temperature in Kelvin.

Front

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

Back

The volume increases.
