Gas Laws

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas?

Back

Pressure and volume are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

If the pressure of a gas is decreased, what happens to its volume?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

What are the measurable properties of a gas?

Back

Pressure, temperature, volume, and amount of gas.

Front

What happens to the pressure in a closed container if the temperature is increased?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What effect does adding more gas to a closed container have on pressure?

Back

It increases the pressure.

Front

How does decreasing the volume of a gas affect its pressure?

Back

It increases the pressure.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Front

What does the term 'absolute zero' refer to?

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a gas has zero volume and pressure, equivalent to -273.15°C.
