Boyles Law

Front

What does Boyle's Law state?

Back

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

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

A gas has a volume of 600mL at 1atm. What is its volume at 3atm?

Back

200mL.

Front

If a gas at 4 liters and 2 atm is expanded to 16 liters, what is the new pressure?

Back

0.5 atm.

Front

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

Back

The volume doubles.

Front

What units must be converted to use in gas law equations?

Back

Temperature.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in Boyle's Law?

Back

They are inversely proportional.

Front

If a gas has a volume of 3L at 200 kPa, what will its volume be at 500 kPa?

Back

1.2L.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas at constant pressure?

Back

It is directly proportional (Charles's Law).
