Boyle's Law

In Boyle's Law, pressure and volume are

• inversely proportional

• directly proportional

Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas show a (a)   relationship. 

• Inverse 
• Direct 

When Volume of a gas increases, the Pressure will ______________

• Increase

• Decrease

• Stay the Same

Answer explanation

According to Boyle's Law, when the volume of a gas increases at constant temperature, the pressure decreases. This inverse relationship means that as volume goes up, pressure must go down.

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

• P₁V₁=P₂V₂
• P₁V₁/P₂V₂
• P₁V₂=P₂V₁
• P₁/V₁=P₂/V₂

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

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 relationship of which two variables are compared in Boyle's Law?

• pressure & volume
• volume & temperature
• temperature & pressure
• volume & moles (amount of gas)

What is Boyle's Law?

• Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature.

• Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its volume at constant temperature.

• Boyle's Law has nothing to do with gas pressure and volume.

• Boyle's Law only applies to solids and liquids, not gases.

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

• The volume will remain the same.

• The volume will be halved.

• The volume will be quadrupled.

• The volume will be tripled.
