Boyle's Law (Pressure and Volume) | GCSE Physics
At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
If you double the volume of a gas, what happens to the pressure?
What is Boyle's Law (Pressure and Volume) | GCSE Physics?
"The law stating that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume."
What is the formula for density?
Why does a crisp packet puff up when taken on an airplane flight?
Calculate the pressure at a depth of 2m in water (density = 1000 kg/m³, g = 9.8 N/kg).
Specific heat capacity is the energy needed to raise 1kg of a substance by ____.
Pressure-Volume Law
If volume decreases, particles are closer together.
They collide more frequently with the walls.
This increases the pressure of the gas.
Equation: Pressure x Volume = Constant ($P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$).
Graph Feature: A graph of Pressure vs Volume is a curve (hyperbola). A graph of Pressure vs 1/Volume is a straight line.
