Boyle’s Law

ROBERT BOYLE
ROBERT BOYLE
•  a scientist who
made an
experiment about
the relationship of
volume and
pressure of gases at
a constant
temperature.
EQUATION BOYLE’S LAW
• Volume and pressure of the gas can be varied let
Pı and Vı be the initial pressure and volume
respectively and Pշ and Vշ final pressure and
volume.
• Temperature is constant
Pı= Initial Pressure
Vı= Initial volume
Pշ= Final Pressure
Vշ= Final Volume
Problem
• The inflated balloon that shipped from
the hand of Jimmel has a volume of
0.50 L at sea level 1.0 atm and it
reached a height of approximately 8
km where the atmospheric pressure is
approximately 0.33. Assuming the
temperature is constant, compute for
the final volume of the balloon.
Pı = 0.50 L Pշ = 0.33 atm
Vı = 1.0 atm Vշ = ?
Problem
Pı = 0.50 L Pշ = 0.33 atm
Vı = 1.0 atm Vշ = ?

 PıVı = PշVշ

Vշ = PıVı
Pշ formula that we are going to
use.
Problem
SOLUTION:
Vշ = PıVı
Pշ

Vշ = (0.50 L)(1.0atm)
0.33 atm
Vշ = 0.5 L
0.33
Vշ = 1.5 L
It’s Your Turn!
1. Oxygen gas inside a 1.6 L gas has a pressure of 0.95 atm.
Provided that the temperature remain constant, how
much pressure is needed to reduce its volume 0.5 L?
2. Atmospheric pressure on the
peak of Kilimanjaro can be as
low as 0.20 atm. If the volume
of an oxygen tank is 10.0L, at
what pressure must the tank be
filled so the gas inside would
occupy a volume of 1.2 x 103L
at this pressure?
What is constant in Boyle’s
Law?

Give the formula of

V1,V2,P1,P2?

What is the relationship of

Pressure and Volume?
ASSIGNMENT:
A scuba diver needs a diving tank in order to provide breathing gas while he is
underwater. How much pressure is needed for 6.00 liters of gas at a1.01 atmospheric
pressure to be compressed in a 3.00 liter cylinder?
