Gas Laws

Pressure is a direct result of collisions between gas particles and the walls of their container.

• true
• false

According to Boyle’s law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

• true
• false

The combined gas law states the relationship among pressure, temperature, and length of a fixed amount of gas.

• true
• false

According to the combined gas law, pressure is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to temperature, and volume is indirectly proportional to temperature.

• true
• false

Zero on the Celsius scale is also known as absolute zero.

• true
• false

Scientific law describes a relationship in nature that is supported by many experiments.

• true
• false

A relationship in which one variable increases as the other variable decreases is an inverse relationship.

• true
• false

When using Charles’s law, temperature must be expressed in degrees Kelvin.

• true
• false

For a fixed amount of gas, a change in one variable (pressure, temperature or volume) affects the other two.

• true
