Gas Laws

Front

What is Gay–Lussac's Law?

Back

Gay–Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when the volume is held constant.

Front

If the pressure of a gas halves, what happens to the temperature in Kelvin?

Back

The temperature in Kelvin also halves.

Front

What type of relationship does a direct graph show?

Back

A direct relationship indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when it is cooled?

Back

The volume of the gas will decrease.

Front

What does the graph on the right represent in terms of gas laws?

Back

The graph on the right shows the relationship between temperature and pressure.

Front

What does the graph on the left represent in terms of gas laws?

Back

The graph on the left shows the relationship between volume and pressure.

Front

Define Charles's Law.

Back

Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure.

Front

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

Back

The volume of the gas will increase.

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

If the volume of a gas decreases, what happens to its pressure at constant temperature?

Back

The pressure of the gas increases.
