Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas when its volume decreases?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What does it mean when two variables are inversely proportional?

Back

As one value increases, the other decreases.

Front

What gas law is demonstrated when a bicycle pump's plunger is pushed down?

Back

Boyle's Law.

Front

If the temperature of a gas increases, what happens to its volume according to Charles's Law?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Charles's Law?

Back

V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V is volume and T is temperature.

What happens to the volume of a gas when the temperature decreases?

Back

The volume decreases.
