Boyle's Law Flashcard

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, where P is pressure and V is volume.

Front

If the pressure of a gas increases, what happens to its volume according to Boyle's Law?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas if its volume is doubled while keeping the temperature constant?

Back

The pressure is halved.

Front

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

Back

Pressure and Volume are inversely proportional to each other.

Front

In Boyle's Law, what happens to the temperature of the gas?

Back

The temperature remains constant.

Front

What are the units of pressure commonly used in Boyle's Law?

Back

Atmospheres (atm), Pascals (Pa), or mmHg.

Front

What is an example of Boyle's Law in real life?

Back

Breathing: When the diaphragm contracts, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, causing the pressure to decrease and air to flow in.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a variable in Boyle's Law? Pressure, Temperature, Volume, Mole?

Back

Mole is NOT a variable in Boyle's Law.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure is increased from 0.755 atm to 2.25 atm if the initial volume is 4.31L?

Back

The new volume is 1.446L.
