Gas Laws

Question 1

Boyle’s Law

Answer 1

At a constant temp, the absolute pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional.

Question 2

Charles/Gay-Lussac’a Law

Answer 2

At a constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the change in absolute temperature.

Question 3

Henry’s law

Answer 3

The amount of any given gas that will dissolve in a liquid at a given temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas.

Question 4

Archimedes principle

Answer 4

Any object wholly/partially immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.

Question 5

Dalton’s law

Answer 5

The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of each of the different gases making up the mixture, with each gas acting as if it alone was present and occupied the total volume.

Question 6

Kinetic Theory of Gasses

Answer 6

The kinetic energy of any given gas at a given temperature is the same kinetic energy as any other gas at the same temperature.

Question 7

General Gas Law

Answer 7

Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac demonstrated that temperature, volume, and pressure affect a gas in such a way that a change in one factor must be balanced by a corresponding change in one or both of the others.
