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:
-
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
For the inverse relationship between pressure and volume (as described by Boyle's Law), the following statements apply:
- As pressure increases, volume decreases.
- As volume increases, pressure decreases.
- As pressure decreases, volume increases.
- As volume decreases, pressure increases.
These statements effectively describe the inverse relationship between pressure and volume.
