The Gas Laws Flashcards
1
Q
When considering the behaviour of a gas, what are the 3 variables?
A
Pressure
Temperature
Volume
2
Q
What is Boyles law?
A
The volume of a given has is inversely proportional to the ABSOLUTE pressure of the gas. PROVIDED that the TEMPERATURE remains constant.
3
Q
What happens when you double the absolute pressure?
A
The volume is halved
4
Q
What happens when you times the absolute pressure by 3?
A
It gives 1/3 the volume
5
Q
What is Charles’ law?
A
The volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to the ABSOLUTE temperature providing that the PRESSURE remains constant
6
Q
When a cylinder is initially filled with gas, the mass of gas which occupies the cylinder volume will depend on:
A
The particular gas
The pressure of the gas
The temperature of the gas
