Boyle's Law: Pressure and Volume
Students will apply Boyle's Law to solve problems involving the inverse relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.
Key Questions
- Explain the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature.
- Evaluate the safety implications of rapidly decreasing the volume of a gas.
- Design an experiment to verify Boyle's Law.
