Boyle's Law Checkpoint

For Boyle's law to apply to a gas, which variable must be held constant?

• Volume

• Pressure

• Temperature

• None of the above

Assume that you put the same amount of room-temperature air in two tires. If one tire is bigger than the other, how will air pressure in the two tires compare?

• The bigger tire will have greater air pressure.

• The smaller tire will have greater air pressure.

• Both tires will have the same air pressure.

• Not enough information is provided to know the answer.

When the pressure on a gas increases, will the volume increase or decrease?

• Decrease

• Neither

• Increase

The pressure of a gas increases when its volume increases

• True

• False

What is the new volume of the gas if the pressure on 350 L of oxygen at 720 mm Hg is decreased to 600 mm Hg?

• 420 L
• 29.16 L
• 4200.0 L
• 291.6 L

A gas at a volume of 4 liters is at a pressure of 2 atm. The volume is changed to 16 Liters, what must the new pressure be?

• 2 atm
• 12 atm
• 10 atm
• 0.5 atm

The pressure on a sample of gas is increased from 1.0 atm to 3.0 atm. If the new volume is 0.52 L, find the original volume.

• 0.52 L
• 1.56 L
• 0.173 L
• 1.00 L

A gas occupies 4.98 L at 2.6 atm of pressure. What volume does it occupy at 1.8 atm pressure?

• 12.9 L
• 0.72 L
• 7.2 L
• 3.44 L
