Pressure is a direct result of collisions between gas particles and the walls of their container.

• true
• false

According to Boyle’s law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

• true
• false

The combined gas law states the relationship among pressure, temperature, and length of a fixed amount of gas.

• true
• false

According to the combined gas law, pressure is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to temperature, and volume is indirectly proportional to temperature.
