A. Boyles Law 1. Temperature held CONSTANT 2. Found inverse relationship between pressure & volume 3. P1 V1 = P2 V2

Volume vs- Pressure of a Gas

P1 V1

P2 V2

Sample Problem 1: If the pressure of helium gas in a balloon has a volume of 4.0 L at 210 kPa, what will the pressure be at 2.5 L? 340 kPa

B. Charless Law 1. Pressure held CONSTANT 2. Found direct relationship between temperature & volume 3. V 1 = V2 T1 T2

Sample Problem 4:
A gas at 110 kPa and 30 oC fills a container at 2.0 L. If the temperature rises to 80oC and the pressure increases to 440 kPa, what is the new volume? 0.58 L
