Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in gases?

Pressure and volume have an inverse relationship in gases, according to Boyle's Law.

What is the definition of pressure in physics and chemistry?

Pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules on the walls of their container.

How is volume measured?

Volume is usually measured in meters cubed.

What are the units used to measure gas pressure?

Gas pressure is generally measured in pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm). Signup and view all the answers

Explain Boyle's Law and how it relates to the expansion of marshmallows in the first part of the experiment.

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other. When air is removed from the jar, the gas pressure inside decreases, causing the marshmallows to expand due to increased volume. Signup and view all the answers

Describe Charles' Law and its role in the expansion of marshmallows in the second part of the experiment.

Charles' Law states that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional to each other. When the marshmallow is heated in the microwave, the increased temperature leads to an increase in volume, causing the marshmallow to expand. Signup and view all the answers
