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 amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are proportional.
2. If the volume of a gas decreases, its pressure will .
3. The mathematical representation of Boyle's Law is P₁V₁ = .
1. Which of the following graphs best represents Boyle's Law?
Pressure vs. Volume (linear increasing)
Pressure vs. Volume (linear decreasing)
Pressure vs. Volume (curve decreasing)
Pressure vs. Volume (curve increasing)
2. A gas occupies 10 L at a pressure of 2 atm. If the pressure is increased to 4 atm while keeping the temperature constant, what will be the new volume?
2.5 L
5 L
10 L
20 L
1. Boyle's Law applies to ideal gases at varying temperatures.
True
False
2. According to Boyle's Law, if the pressure on a gas is halved, its volume will double.
True
False
1. Explain Boyle's Law in your own words, providing a real-world example.
2. A gas has a volume of 500 mL at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the pressure is decreased to 0.75 atm at constant temperature, what is the new volume of the gas?
The image below illustrates a volumetric flask. Consider a gas trapped inside this flask. How would the pressure change if the volume of the flask was decreased?
