Gas Laws Conceptual

Front

What happens to pressure when volume increases?

Back

Pressure decreases.

Front

In a direct relationship, what happens to one variable when the other increases?

Back

The other variable increases as well.

Front

What three variables are involved in gas laws?

Back

Pressure, Temperature, Volume.

Front

What happens to volume when pressure increases?

Back

Volume decreases.

Front

What happens to pressure when the temperature of a gas in a non-flexible container increases?

Back

Pressure increases.

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

It states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

It states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and pressure in gas laws?

Back

As temperature increases, pressure increases if volume is constant.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Front

What does it mean for a gas to be in a non-flexible container?

Back

The volume cannot change, so pressure will change with temperature.
