Boyles law

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P1 * V1 = P2 * V2, where P is pressure and V is volume.

Front

What type of relationship do pressure and volume have in Boyle's Law?

Back

An inverse relationship.

Front

If a gas has a volume of 10 L at a pressure of 2 atm, what will be the volume if the pressure is increased to 4 atm?

Back

5 L.

Front

How does Boyle's Law apply to a syringe?

Back

When the plunger of a syringe is pushed in, the volume decreases and the pressure increases.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas if its volume is doubled?

Back

The pressure is halved.

Front

If a gas at 1 atm occupies 100 L, what will be its volume at 2 atm?

Back

50 L.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law assumes constant temperature; if temperature changes, the law does not apply.

Front

If a gas is compressed from 200 mL to 100 mL, what happens to its pressure?

Back

The pressure increases.
