Boyle's Law Practice Quiz

According to Boyle's Law, what is the relationship between pressure and volume when temperature is constant?

• Direct relationship

• Indirect (inverse) relationship

• No relationship

If the pressure of a gas is increased according to Boyle's Law, what happens to the volume?

• Increases

• Decreases

• Remains the same

• Cannot be determined

What is the equation that represents Boyle's Law?

• P1 + V1 = P2 + V2

• P1 - V1 = P2 - V2

• P1 / V1 = P2 / V2

• P1 x V1 = P2 x V2

If the pressure of a gas decreases according to Boyle's Law, what happens to the volume?

• Increases

• Decreases

• Remains the same

• Cannot be determined

If the volume of a gas is doubled according to Boyle's Law, what happens to the pressure?

• Increases by a factor of 2

• Decreases by a factor of 2

• Remains the same

• Becomes zero

What happens to the volume of a gas if the pressure is halved according to Boyle's Law?

• Doubled

• Halved

• Quadrupled

• No changes

What is held constant in Boyle's Law?

• Pressure

• Volume

• Temperature

• None of these are held constant

What happens to the volume of a gas as it is sprayed out of an aerosol can (air has less pressure than inside the can)?

• The volume decreases

• The volume increases

• The volume stays the same

As a scuba diver dives deep into the ocean, the pressure increases. As a result, what happens to the volume of the gas in their lungs?

• The volume increases

• The volume decreases

• The volume remains constant

A gas has a volume of 1.5 liters and a pressure of 3.0 atm, what will the new pressure be if the volume is decreased to 1.0 liters?

• 4.5 L

• 1.5 L

• 4.0 L
