Pressure, Volume and Temperature of Gases

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure increases?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What unit is commonly used to measure pressure?

Back

atm (atmospheres)

Front

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT), what happens to the motion of particles when temperature increases?

Back

The motion increases.

Front

In a comparison of two containers, which one will have lower pressure if both have the same amount of gas?

Back

The container with a larger volume (left).

Front

What happens to pressure when the volume of a gas increases?

Back

The pressure decreases.

Front

State Boyle's Law in simple terms.

Back

At constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

If the volume of a gas is halved, what happens to the pressure?

Back

The pressure doubles.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in a closed system?

Back

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

Front

What happens to gas pressure if the temperature is held constant and the volume is decreased?

Back

The pressure increases.
