3 Questions
What is the primary relationship described by Boyle's Law?
Volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional, given constant temperature
In an experiment abiding by Boyle's Law, if the volume of a gas is halved, what will happen to its pressure, assuming the temperature remains constant?
The pressure will double
What does Boyle's Law assume about the nature of gases?
Gases are composed of particles that are in constant, random motion
Study Notes
Boyle's Law
- Describes the inverse relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas, while temperature remains constant.
- Primary relationship: as volume increases, pressure decreases, and vice versa.
Application of Boyle's Law
- If the volume of a gas is halved, its pressure will double, assuming the temperature remains constant.
Assumptions of Boyle's Law
- Gases are ideal, meaning they do not interact with their containers and have no volume.
