What does Boyle's Law state?
Think about what happens when you squeeze a balloon.
If we double the volume of a gas, what happens to its pressure?
Use the inverse relationship: if volume goes up, pressure goes down.
According to Boyle's Law, if the volume of a gas is halved, what happens to the pressure?
Recall the inverse relationship.
True or False: Boyle's Law applies only to ideal gases.
Consider the characteristics of real vs. ideal gases.
A gas has an initial volume of 500 mL at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If its volume is reduced to 250 mL, what is its new pressure?
Apply Boyle’s Law formula to find the new pressure.
A balloon filled with gas has a volume of 2.0 L at a pressure of 1.0 atm. If the balloon is taken underwater where the pressure is 3.0 atm, what will its new volume be assuming temperature remains constant?
Remember, as pressure increases, the volume decreases.
