Boyle's Law

Describes volume-pressure relationship in gases at constant temperature. As pressure decreases, volume increases.

Compressibility of air

Air molecules can be compressed, allowing more air to be pumped into an already inflated balloon.

Temperature and Volume Relationship

When temperature of a gas decreases, its volume goes down.

Compressibility of Gases

Gases are highly compressible and expandable at high temperatures.

Study Notes

  • Boyle's Law describes the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas when temperature is constant.
  • Robert Boyle was the English scientist who studied the volume-pressure relationship.
  • As pressure decreases, volume increases in gases at constant temperature.
  • Air molecules can be compressed, explaining why you can still pump air into an already inflated balloon.
  • Mass and temperature need to remain constant when using Boyle's Law.
  • Air density increases when air is pumped into a bicycle tire.
  • When the volume of a container of gas is lessened, the pressure will increase.
  • The pressure of the gas inside a balloon increases when the balloon is pressed.
  • Falling leaves does not involve the application of gas pressure.
  • If a sample of hydrogen gas has a volume of 30 L at 5 atm, decreasing the volume to 5 L will result in a pressure of 30 atm.
  • A balloon with a volume of 2.0 L filled with gas at 3 atmospheres, reducing the pressure to 1.2 atmospheres results in a volume of 5 L.
  • Pressure is constant when using Charles' Law.
  • When the temperature of a gas goes down, the volume also goes down.
  • Oxygen gas is highly compressible at high pressure and expandable at high temperature.
  • To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, the formula K = °C + 273 is used.
  • As temperature increases, gas pressure increases if the amount and volume of gas are kept constant.
  • The high incident of tire explosions in summer is attributed to high temperatures causing the air inside the tire to expand.
  • A balloon with a volume of 200 mL at 30°C, submerged in hot water to obtain a temperature of 50°C, will have a volume higher than 200 mL if the pressure remains the same.
  • As temperature increases, the molecules within a gas move more quickly, so a helium balloon will crumble on a cold day.
  • Heating an aerosol can may cause it to explode.
  • A 420 mL sample of gas at 25.0°C compressed to 210 mL, with constant pressure, results in a temperature of 149 K.
  • Heating a sample of helium gas from 15.0°C to 30.0°C, causing it to expand to 585 cm³, means the original volume of the helium gas was 556 cm³.
  • Gases exert pressure is a property explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
  • Pressure refers to forces exerted by molecules on the wall of a container due to collisions.
  • The postulates of KMT explain why the scent of brewed coffee fills a room because gas particles are in constant motion and move independently of each other.
  • According to kinetic molecular theory, gas particles do not move in predictable patterns.
  • Air inside a syringe is an example with particles that can be drawn closer to occupy a smaller volume.
  • As the temperature of a gas increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases.
  • Fruits and vegetables are the best carbohydrates to include in a diet
  • Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
  • Glycogen, cellulose, and starch are all classified as polysaccharides.
  • Fats cause a person to gain more weight, since burning 1 gram of fat releases twice the heat energy as burning 1 gram of starch.
  • Monomer: polysaccharide is not a correct monomer-polymer pair
  • Sucrose is not a disaccharide.
  • Lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

  • Matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, according to the Law of Conservation of Matter.
  • Li(s) + F2(g) → LiF(s), O2(g)+ N2(g) → NO2 are all examples of a combination reaction.
