 to define Boyles Law  to state and apply Boyles Law  to be able to solve gas problems

using Boyles Law  to know the life of Robert Boyle

Boyles Law there is an inverse

relationship between the volume As pressure increases, volume decreases. decreases, volume increases. and the pressure of an ideal gas when its temperature is held constant.

P1 V1 = P2 V2

Example Problems
1.2A sampleLof helium gas at 25 degrees Celsiuspressure. .) 2.00 of a gas is at 15200.0 mmHg is compressedits volume at standard pressure? What is from 200 to 0.24 cubic centimeters. Its
pressure is now 3.oo cmHg. What was the original pressure of the helium.
1 1 2 2

Using the formula, P1 V1 = P2 V2 Manipulating the formula, we get, V2 = P1 V1 / P2 Manipulating the formula, we get, P1 = P2 V2 V1 Substituting the given data into the equation, Substituting the given data into the equation,

Solution SolutionV Using the formula, P V = P

V (15200.0 mmHg x cubic cm) / 200 cubic P1 2== (3.00 cm Hg x 0.242.00 L) / 760.0 mmHg cm 4.00 PV2== 0.0036L cm Hg 1
