WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?

FYI (For Your Information)

Robert William Boyle is largely

regarded as the first modern scientist, and
best known for Boyle’s law, that describes
the relationship between pressure and
volume of a gas at a constant temperature.
Boyle’s law states that when pressure
increases, volume decreases; when volume
increases, pressure decreases. Pressure and
volume are inversely proportional.

ACTIVITY NO. 1

Boyle’s Law Module 10

Directions: Sketch the graph of pressure versus volume. Assume that the
temperature is constant, and label pressure on the vertical axis and volume on the
horizontal axis, given the following data.

Effect of temperature on the pressure of gas

PRESSURE(atm) Volume(L)
1 115
2 100
3 85
4 70
5 55
6 40
7 25
8 10

Graph of pressure and volume

My score is ___

I have learned that…

1. The pressure is usually expressed in ____________.

2. Pressure of a gas is ________ proportional with the volume.

3. Inversely proportional refers to two related variables. If one

variable increases, the other variable _____________.

Boyle’s Law Module 10

 4. Boyle’s Law kept ___________ constant while studying the
relationship of pressure and ____________.

My score is ___

FYI For Your Information…

We can express the relationships of pressure to volume as

P 1/V (T is constant)

The relationships of the pressure and volume can also be written as an equation,
and we can write
P1V1 = P2V2

P1 stands for initial pressure

P2 stands for final pressure

V1 stands for initial volume

V2 stands for final pressure

In Boyle’s law problems, the factor comes from the relationships of pressure and
volume. If the pressure increases (P1), the final volume (V2) decreases.
If (P2) decreases, (V1) increases.

ACTIVITY NO 2

Directions: Read each problem carefully. Write data in table that is

organized as follow.

Problem #1. A tank of Nitrogen has a volume of 14 L and a pressure of 760

mmHg. Find what is the final volume if pressure was reduced by 300 mmHg

READING TO LEARN

For a given mass of gas in a container of fixed volume, the pressure is directly
proportional to the absolute temperature (in Kelvin)
The ratio of pressure and temperature is consistent since pressure and temperature
are directly proportional correspondingly,

P1V1 = P2V2

Where P1- initial pressure

P2- final pressure
V1- initial Volume
V2-final Volume

To find the unknown quantity, divide the partner to both sides.For example, to
find the final volume from the general equation,

P1V1 = P2V2
P2 P2

P1V1 = V2
P2
