Gas Laws Flashcard

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when its temperature increases (Charles's Law)?

Back

The volume of the gas increases.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure is increased at constant temperature (Boyle's Law)?

Back

The volume of the gas decreases.

Front

What is the formula for Charles's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and volume in gases?

Back

As temperature increases, volume increases if pressure is constant.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in gases?

Back

As pressure increases, volume decreases if temperature is constant.

Front

If a gas has a volume of 5.0 L at 350 K, what will be its volume at 700 K?

Back

10.0 L.

Front

What is an application of Charles's Law?

Back

Calculating the change in volume of a gas when temperature changes at constant pressure.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas under constant temperature if the pressure increases?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What is the definition of absolute zero?

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a gas has zero volume, equivalent to -273.15°C or 0 K.
