Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Boyle's Law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its:
Temperature
Volume
Number of moles
Density
2. If the pressure of a gas is doubled at constant temperature, what happens to its volume?
It doubles
It halves
It remains the same
It quadruples
3. The mathematical expression for Boyle's Law is P₁V₁ = .
4. Boyle's Law is applicable when the and the number of moles of gas are kept constant.
5. A gas occupies a volume of 10.0 L at a pressure of 2.0 atm. If the pressure is increased to 4.0 atm while keeping the temperature constant, what will be the new volume of the gas?
6. Explain, in your own words, the relationship between pressure and volume as described by Boyle's Law.
7. Boyle's Law is sometimes referred to as the pressure-volume law.
True
False
8. According to Boyle's Law, if the volume of a gas decreases, its pressure also decreases, assuming constant temperature.
True
False
9. Consider a scuba diver ascending from a deep dive. Explain how Boyle's Law applies to the air in their lungs during ascent and why a controlled ascent is crucial.
Match the term on the left with its description on the right.
10. Inverse relationship
a. The amount of space a gas occupies
11. Pressure
b. When two quantities change in opposite directions
12. Volume
c. Force exerted per unit area
