Gas Laws

Front

What does Boyle's Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship described by Charles's Law?

Back

Charles's Law describes the direct relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure.

Front

Define 'inversely proportional'.

Back

Inversely proportional means that as one value increases, the other value decreases.

Front

Define 'directly proportional'.

Back

Directly proportional means that as one value increases, the other value also increases.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure increases, according to Boyle's Law?

Back

The volume of the gas decreases when the pressure increases.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the temperature increases, according to Charles's Law?

Back

The volume of the gas increases when the temperature increases.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

The formula for Boyle's Law is P1V1 = P2V2, where P is pressure and V is volume.

Front

What is the formula for Charles's Law?

Back

The formula for Charles's Law is V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V is volume and T is temperature.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on gas volume?

Back

As temperature increases, the volume of a gas increases, assuming pressure is constant.

Front

What is the effect of pressure on gas volume?

Back

As pressure increases, the volume of a gas decreases, assuming temperature is constant.
