What is Boyle's Law?
A law that states that the pressure of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with it's volume at constant temperature.
What is the year that he stated the principles?
What is 1662
The formula is?
What is P1V1= P2V2
5 + 5 =
What is 10
How does the size of the container relate to the pressure of the gas?
What is a decrease in size = more pressure or an increase in size = less pressure.
The relationship in the law focuses on is...?
What is pressure and volume of gas at a constant temperature.
P is proportional to
What is 1/V
How does filling a tire with air relate to Boyle's Law?
What is the gas molecules get compressed and packed together, creating a higher pressure.
How many sibling did Boyle have?
What is 13
The correct units for V are
What is litres (L)
A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 0.4652 L. When the volume is increased to 0.5782 L, the new pressure is 341.3 atm. What was the original pressure.
What is P1= 424.2 atm
What are all 4 of the gas laws (that we have learned about)
What is Charles law, Boyle's law, Ideal Gas Law, Combined Gas Law.
The law was discovered how?
What is Boyle studied the elasticity of gases in a J-tube. By adding mercury to the open end of the tube, he trapped a small volume of air in the sealed end.
The correct way to rearrange for V1 is?
What is V1= P2V2/P1
A sample of oxygen gas occupies 12 L under a pressure of 1.2 atm. What would its volume be if the pressure is increased to 3.6 atm (assume temp is constant)?
What is V2 = 4.0 L
Boyle also wrote extensively on what other topics
A)Philosophy
B)Natural Theology
C)Actinology
What is B (Natural Theology)
What is the relationship that exists between the two variables in Boyle's law?
What is an inverse relationship.
What is the constant in Boyle's Law?
What is temperature.
A sample of helium gas in a balloon is compressed from 4 L to 2.5 L at constant temp. If the initial pressure was 3.0 atm at 4 L, what's the new pressure if the volume is 2.5 L?
What is P2=4.8 atm
Dorcas the deep sea fish gets caught and pulled fast to the surface, and the fishers notice something unusual. What happens to Dorcas. ?
What is Dorcas internally explodes! (The pressure that builds up inside of him which causes this)
