Understanding Gases and the Ideal Gas Law

What is the relationship between gas volume and pressure as described by Boyle's Law?

• Pressure increases as volume increases.

• Pressure decreases as volume increases.

• Pressure increases as volume decreases.

• Pressure and volume are not related.

How did Boyle's Law come to be misattributed?

• Through a clerical error

• Because of a translation mistake

• It was never misattributed

• Due to Boyle's superior scientific standing and wealth

Who was the actual experimenter behind the discovery attributed to Boyle's Law?

• Jacques Charles

• Robert Boyle

• Henry Power

• Richard Towneley

What does Charles's Law relate?

• Pressure and volume

• Pressure and temperature

• Volume and temperature

• Volume and number of moles

What does the Ideal Gas Law equation represent?

• PVT = nR

• PV = RnT

• PT = nRV

• PV = nRT

What is the value of one atmosphere in pascals?

• 1 pascal

• 100 pascals

• 101325 pascals

• 100000 pascals

What does the 'R' in the Ideal Gas Law stand for?

• Reaction rate

• Radiation constant

• Residual gas

• Universal gas constant

What happens to the pressure inside a can when it is rapidly cooled?

• It increases significantly.

• It oscillates before stabilizing.

• It remains constant.

• It decreases, causing the can to crush.
