Gas Laws: Boyle’s Law Flashcards
Define Pressure
Pressure is defined as the force
applied by gases over a surface area
What does strong gas pressure mean?
compress and reduce its volume or the space it occupies.
What does weak gas pressure mean?
nothing will keep the gases close together and hence will allow them to expand their
volumes.
Who was named after Boyle’s law?
Robert Boyle
the pressure of a gas is DIRECTLY proportional to its volume.
FALSE. INVERSELY
The pressure of a gas _____ as its volume ______
INCREASES, DECREASES
The pressure of a gas _____ as its volume ______. vice versa
DECREASES, INCREASES
Boyle’s law only applies if the _______ and the amount of gas remain constant.
TEMPERATURE
For gas, the pressure will always adjust with the volume until the product of the two is constant.
TRUE
What is Boyle’s law?
The volume of a given amount of gas, at a constant temperature, varies inversely with the applied pressure.
What parameters are not constant in Boyle’s law?
VOLUME AND PRESSURE
What parameters are not constant in Boyle’s law?
