Exploring Gas Laws in Real Life

Which of the following is a statement of Boyle's Law?

• The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

• The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

• The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume.

• The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles at constant temperature and pressure.

What is the mathematical expression for Charles's Law?

In a real-life scenario, how does Charles's Law explain the behavior of a basketball left outside in the cold?

• The basketball will deflate as the volume decreases with temperature.

• The basketball will inflate as the volume increases with temperature.

• The basketball will remain the same size regardless of temperature.

• The basketball will burst due to increased pressure.
