Boyle's and Charles' Law

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 and amount of gas are held constant.

Front

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

Back

The volume of the gas decreases.

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

Charles' Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) when the pressure and amount of gas are held constant.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when its temperature increases?

Back

The volume of the gas increases.

Front

What is the unit of temperature in gas laws?

Back

Kelvin (K) is the unit of temperature used in gas laws.

Front

True or False: Gases can be compressed.

Back

True.

Front

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

Back

Pressure and volume have an inverse relationship; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

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

Back

Temperature and volume have a direct relationship; as one increases, the other increases.

Front

If the temperature of a gas decreases while pressure remains constant, what happens to the volume?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What happens to gas particles when pressure is increased?

Back

Gas particles are forced closer together.
