Boyle's Law Flashcards
1
Q
What is Boyle’s Law?
A
The relationship between pressure and volume of gases at constant temperatures. This is an inverse relationship, this means as one goes up the other goes down.
2
Q
Describe a graph that represents Volume versus pressure.
A
The graph would have a curved line going down. Volume goes down as the pressure increases.
3
Q
Describe a graph that represents volume versus the inverse of pressure.
A
A linear graph that increases with both volume and 1/p(kPa^-1)
4
Q
The relationship is described by what equation?
A
PV=k
P= pressure(atm,mmHg,kPa)
V=Volume(L,mL) (1mL=1cm^3)
5
Q
What is the formula for Boyle’s Law?
A
P1V1=P2V2
