Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure increases, assuming temperature is constant?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

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

Back

They are directly proportional.

Front

What does it mean for two variables to be inversely proportional?

Back

As one variable increases, the other decreases.
