Pressure-Volume Relationship at Constant Temperature of a Gas
Procedure:
Step 1 Plot the data in table 1 in a graphing paper or in the space provided.

Step 2 Label the graph with Volume (Y-axis), and the pressure (X-axis).

Step 3 Use the following scale in plotting the data on the graph:
1 cm for every 0.5 mL, and 1 cm for every 500 mmHg

Table 1: Boyle’s Pressure-Volume Data

P (mmHg) 500 550 700 1000 1200 1800
V (mL) 2.5 2.2 1.5 0.8 0.6 0.5

Complete the statement below. Underline the appropriate word that suits the statement.

As you observed from the graph above,

pressure [increases, decrease] with a [increases, decrease] in volume.
Boyle’s Law explains that when [volume, pressure] increases,
the [volume, pressure] decreases,
and/or if the [volume, pressure] decreases,
the [volume, pressure] increases.
Thus, the relationship between
pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature is
[directly, inversely] proportional.

SITUATION:
A balloon with a volume of 2.0 L is filled with a gas at 3 atmospheres. If the pressure is reduced to 0.5 atmospheres
without a change in temperature, what would be the volume of the balloon?

Directions: Rearrange the jumbled letters inside the parenthesis, then fill in each blank with a correct answer. Relate
each statement to scuba diving activities.

Diving into deep water is another application of (1) _____________ (s’leByo) law. As the diver moves down to the
bottom of the water, the (2) ______________ (respseru) increases. Increasing pressure leads to a decrease in (3)
___________ (lovemu), and the diver’s blood begins to absorb the nitrogen gas. The opposite happens when the diver
starts to rise again, and the nitrogen gas molecules begin to expand and return to its volume. If the diver makes a slow
rise, the nitrogen gas (4) _______________ (lesmolecu) expand and return to normal without problems, but if it rises
quickly, the diver’s blood turns into foam and the same mess that occurs in the soda bottles causes the diver to bend
and feel strong pain. In the worst case, this sudden drop in body pressure can instantly terminate the diver’s (5)
_______________ (ifel).
Closure: When a scuba diver dives beneath the water surface due to the hydrostatic pressure on divers, the air inside
their lungs contract. As a diver approaches the surface, the air inside their lungs expands since the pressure
