Boyle’s Law Flashcards
1
Q
Boyles law
A
The volume of an enclosed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure provided that the Kelvin temperature remains constant
2
Q
Relationship between volume and pressure in Boyle’s law:
A
V is inversely proportional to pressure
V is directly proportional to 1/p
PV is constant (straight line)
3
Q
Equation deduced:
A
pV = K, K is the proportionality constant
Or p1V1 = p2V2
4
Q
What has to stay constant:
A
Temperature and number of mole of gas
