BOYLE’S LAW 13.1: Pgs
Pressure and Volume: Boyle’s Law Irish scientist Robert Boyle was the first scientist to conduct “careful” experiments on gases. He studied the relationship between the pressure of a trapped gas and its volume Using KMT from yesterday, what do you think this relationship is?? We’ll be keeping the temperature constant…
Boyle’s Law Pressure and volume are inversely proportional, which means that as one increases the other will decrease: P, V We can write Boyle’s Law as P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 MUST KEEP TEMPERATURE AND THE AMOUNT OF GAS CONSTANT!
Boyle’s Law Calculations A balloon has a pressure of 56mmHg and is 1.5L in volume. If the balloon is forced to fill a volume of 0.56L, what is the pressure of this balloon? A high altitude balloon contains 30.0 L of He gas at 103 kPa. What is the volume when the balloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is only 25.0 kPa?
