The document discusses Boyle's law, which states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Specifically, it states that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases due to molecules colliding with surfaces more frequently. The document provides examples of using Boyle's law to calculate pressure, volume, or unknown quantities given other variable values through rearranging the equation PV=constant.

2. The result of
many of these
molecular
collisions is
pressure.
PRESSURE is the
force exerted per
unit area by gas
molecules as they
strike the
surfaces around
them.

3. •Gases are composed of particles that are
moving around very fast in their
container(s).
•These particles move in straight lines until
they collides with either the container wall
or another particle, then they bounce off.
•Gas pressure is a result of the
constant movement of the gas molecules
and their collisions with the surfaces
around them.

4. BOYLE’S
The relationship between pressure and volume of gases.

6. BOYLE’S
States that in constant temperature
and amount of molecules, the
pressure of a fixed quantity of a
gas varies inversely with the
volume.
P1V1 = P2V2

7. As the volume of a gas sample is
decreased, gas molecules collide with
surrounding surfaces more frequently,
resulting in greater pressure.

8. •This law is named for Charles
Boyle, who studied the relationship
between pressure and volume of
a gas.
•Boyle determined that for the same
amount of a gas at constant
temperature, results in an inverse
relationship:
when one goes up, the other
comes down.

initial and final conditions.
Rearrange the gas law to solve
for unknown quantity.
Substitute the values into the
gas law equation to solve for the
unknown.
