Gas Laws Flashcards
Ideal Gas Equation
PV = nRT
P

n
number of moles
R
ideal gas constant
T

Robert Boyle
Boyle’s Law
pressure is inversely proportional to volume
temperature must be constant
more mercury (pressure), less _____
volume
for a given mass of any gas and with the temperature held constant, the volume of the gas varies inversely with pressure
