Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the relationship between pressure and volume in a gas at constant temperature?
Step 1: Understand that we are looking at a gas and its behavior when temperature is kept the same.
Step 2: Know that pressure is how much force the gas particles are pushing against the walls of their container.
Step 3: Know that volume is the amount of space the gas occupies.
Step 4: Remember Boyle's Law, which says that if you decrease the volume of the gas, the pressure increases, and if you increase the volume, the pressure decreases.
Step 5: This means that pressure and volume have an inverse relationship: when one goes up, the other goes down.
Step 6: The formula P1V1 = P2V2 helps us calculate the pressure and volume at two different states of the gas.
