7.2 the gas laws of Boyle, Charles and Avogadro Flashcards
PV = k what is k? what is this law? what is the more common way to write it?
Boyle’s law
k is a constant for a given sample of air at a specific temperature
V is proportional to 1/P (meaning inversely proportional) at a constant T
Boyle found there was an inverse relationship between
P and V
the results of more accurate measurements show that Boyle’s law holds only at
very low pressures
a gas that strictly obeys Boyle’s law is called
an ideal gas
Jacques Charles was the first scientist to
fill a balloon with H2 gas and who made the first solo balloon flight
Charles found that the V of a gas at constant P increases _________ with the T of the gas
linearly
who found that the V of gas at a constant P increases linearly with the T of the gas
Charles
who found that there was an inverse relationship between P and V
Boyle
Who found that, for a gas a constant T and P, the V is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas
Avogadro
