Gas Laws

Front

What happens to the particles of matter when the temperature increases?

Back

The particles speed up and move farther apart.

Front

What two variables are compared in Boyle's Law?

Back

Pressure and volume.

Front

According to Boyle's Law, what happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure increases at constant temperature?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

Which container will have a lower pressure if one is larger than the other?

Back

The left container (larger volume).

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.

Front

Define Boyle's Law.

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in a gas according to Boyle's Law?

Back

As pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What happens to gas pressure if the volume is halved while temperature remains constant?

Back

The pressure will double.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on gas particles?

Back

Increasing temperature causes gas particles to move faster and spread apart.

Front

What is the definition of pressure in the context of gases?

Back

Pressure is the force exerted by gas particles colliding with the walls of their container.
