Answer 1

Question 1

The correct description of Boyle's Law is:

• The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when the temperature is constant.

Question 2

To answer the questions about the balloon and syringe:

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

For the inverse relationship between pressure and volume (as described by Boyle's Law), the following statements apply:

1. As pressure increases, volume decreases.
2. As volume increases, pressure decreases.
3. As pressure decreases, volume increases.
4. As volume decreases, pressure increases.

These statements effectively describe the inverse relationship between pressure and volume.
