Boyles Law

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Front

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

Back

Inverse relationship.

Front

If the pressure of a gas increases, what happens to its volume?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

If a gas occupies 4.98 L at 2.6 atm, what volume does it occupy at 1.8 atm?

Back

7.2 L

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure is decreased?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

What is the unit of pressure commonly used in Boyle's Law?

Back

Atmospheres (atm) or Pascals (Pa).

Front

What is the unit of volume commonly used in Boyle's Law?

Back

Liters (L) or cubic meters (m³).

Front

How does Boyle's Law apply to breathing?

Back

During inhalation, lung volume increases, causing pressure to decrease, allowing air to flow in.

Front

What happens to gas volume if the pressure is doubled?

Back

The volume is halved.
