Boyle's and Charles' Law

Front

What does Charles' Law state?

Back

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

Front

What quantities does Charles' Law deal with?

Back

Volume and temperature.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What type of relationship do pressure and volume have according to Boyle's Law?

Back

Inverse relationship.

Front

How is pressure measured?

Back

Pressure can be measured in kPa, mmHg, torr, and atm.

Front

True or False: Gases can be compressed.

Back

True.

Front

If a gas occupies 250 mL at 740 torr, what will its volume be at 800 torr?

Back

231.25 mL.

Front

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

Back

The volume increases.

Front

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

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

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