Question 1:
The best description of Boyle's Law is:
The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when the temperature is constant.

Question 2:

  1. What do you notice about the volume of the balloon when the syringe is pushed down?
    The volume of the balloon decreases.

  2. Did the pressure increase/decrease as the syringe is pushed?
    The pressure inside the syringe increases.

  3. What do you notice about the volume of the balloon when the syringe is pulled up?
    The volume of the balloon increases.

  4. Did the pressure increase/decrease as the syringe is pulled?
    The pressure inside the syringe decreases.

Question 3:
Given that Boyle's law establishes an inverse relationship between pressure and volume, the correct statements are:

  • As pressure increases, volume decreases.
  • As volume decreases, pressure increases.
  • As pressure decreases, volume increases.
  • As volume increases, pressure decreases.

These four selections accurately describe the inverse relationship between pressure and volume as dictated by Boyle’s Law.
