Gas Laws

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

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

Back

The new volume will be 1/3 of the original volume.

Front

Which container will have a lower pressure if one is larger than the other?

Back

The left container (assuming it is the smaller one).

Front

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

Back

The volume will decrease.

Front

State Boyle's Law regarding pressure and volume of a gas.

Back

When temperature is held constant, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional.

Front

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

Back

As pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.

Front

Define Charles's Law.

Back

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas if its volume is doubled while keeping the temperature constant?

Back

The pressure is halved.

Front

Explain the concept of absolute zero.

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a gas would have zero volume and pressure, equivalent to -273.15°C.
