Boyle's Law Practice

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 is the formula for Boyle's Law?

Back

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Front

If a gas has a volume of 4 liters at a pressure of 2 atm, what will be the pressure if the volume is increased to 16 liters?

Back

0.5 atm

Front

How does increasing the volume of a gas affect its pressure?

Back

Increasing the volume of a gas decreases its pressure, provided the temperature remains constant.

Front

If the pressure of a gas is increased from 1.0 atm to 3.0 atm and the new volume is 0.52 L, what was the original volume?

Back

1.56 L

Front

A gas occupies 4.98 L at 2.6 atm. What volume does it occupy at 1.8 atm?

Back

7.2 L

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure is decreased?

Back

The volume of a gas increases when the pressure is decreased, assuming temperature is constant.

Front

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

Back

Pressure and volume are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

If the pressure on a gas is decreased from 720 mm Hg to 600 mm Hg, what is the new volume of 350 L of oxygen?

Back

420 L

Front

What is the unit of pressure commonly used in gas law calculations?

Back

Atmospheres (atm) or millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
