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:
-
What do you notice about the volume of the balloon when the syringe is pushed down?
The volume of the balloon decreases. -
Did the pressure increase/decrease as the syringe is pushed?
The pressure inside the syringe increases. -
What do you notice about the volume of the balloon when the syringe is pulled up?
The volume of the balloon increases. -
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.
