5 Questions
Explain Boyle's law and its mathematical representation.
Boyle's law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas. Mathematically, it can be represented as $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$, where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant.
What does Boyle's law state when the temperature of a given mass of confined gas is constant?
Boyle's law states that when the temperature of a given mass of confined gas is constant, the product of its pressure and volume is also constant.
How can Boyle's law be expressed when comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions?
Boyle's law can be expressed as $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$, showing that as volume increases, the pressure of a gas decreases proportionally, and vice versa.
What is the relationship between pressure and volume according to Boyle's law?
Boyle's law states that the absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.
After what scientist is Boyle's law named?
Boyle's law is named after Robert Boyle.
