NBC 1 Boyle's and Charles Laws

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The volume increases.

Front

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

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What is the formula for Charles's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

Add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.

Front

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

Back

The volume is halved.

Front

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

Back

They are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

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

Back

They are directly related; as one increases, the other increases.
