What is the primary relationship described by Boyle's Law?
What is the primary relationship described by Boyle's Law?
- Volume and pressure of a gas are directly proportional, given constant temperature
- Volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional, given constant temperature (correct)
- Volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional, given constant pressure
- Pressure and temperature of a gas are directly proportional, given constant volume
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?
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 (correct)
- The pressure will quadruple
- The pressure will also be halved
- The pressure will remain the same
What does Boyle's Law assume about the nature of gases?
What does Boyle's Law assume about the nature of gases?
- Gases are composed of particles that are in constant, random motion (correct)
- Gases will naturally expand to fill their container
- Gases are compressible
- All of the above
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.
