Gas laws

Front

What is pressure?

Back

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area on a surface. It is commonly measured in units such as atmospheres (atm), pascals (Pa), and torr.

Front

What is the unit of pressure that is NOT valid?

Back

ml is NOT a unit of pressure; it is a unit of volume.

Front

What does Charles' Law state?

Back

Charles' Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure increases, according to Boyle's Law?

Back

According to Boyle's Law, as pressure increases, the volume of the gas decreases.

Front

What is the relationship described by Charles' Law?

Back

Charles' Law describes a directly proportional relationship between volume and temperature.

Front

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

Back

A syringe demonstrates Boyle's Law; when you pull the plunger back, the volume increases and the pressure decreases.

Front

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

Back

The temperature of the gas increases when its volume increases at constant pressure, according to Charles' Law.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

The formula for Boyle's Law is P1V1 = P2V2, where P is pressure and V is volume.

Front

What is the formula for Charles' Law?

Back

The formula for Charles' Law is V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V is volume and T is temperature in Kelvin.
