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

What two variables are compared in Boyle's Law?

Back

Pressure and Volume.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure increases?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P1V1 = P2V2, where P is pressure and V is volume.

Front

Is Boyle's Law an inverse relationship?

Back

True.

Front

Convert 253 °C to Kelvin.

Back

526 K.

Front

If the volume of a gas is doubled, what happens to the pressure?

Back

The pressure is halved.

Front

What is the unit of pressure commonly used in Boyle's Law?

Back

Atmospheres (atm) or Pascals (Pa).

Front

If a gas has a pressure of 2 atm and a volume of 4 L, what is the new volume if the pressure is changed to 1 atm?

Back

8 L.

Front

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

Back

As pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.
