Charles and Boyle's Law

Gas Laws - Boyle's and Charles'

the relationship of the different properties of gas

STANDARD TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE

• 273 K

• 1 atm

the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant.

1662, Robert Boyle

V₁P₁ = V₂P₂

Boyle's Law Formula

A container holds 500. mL of CO₂ at 20.°C and 742 torr. What will be the volume of the CO₂ if the pressure is increased to 795 torr? 

increase or decrease?

volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant.

V₁T₂ = V_2T₁
