1. What is Boyle’s law?

● State the definition of the law in words.

● What are the assumptions of Boyle’s law?

● Write at least one mathematical equation that represents the law.

● What can be calculated with Boyle’s law?

● Using a gas-filled balloon as an example, describe what is happening to the gas molecules
inside the balloon before and after you squeeze it.
Answer:
Boyle's law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume of a gas. The circumstances of the gas must
be optimal, with a constant temperature and no variations in the number of gas molecules. P1V1=P2V2. Boyle's
law may be used to compute pressure and volume. When you squeeze the balloon, the pressure rises and the
volume falls.

2. You walk in the front door of your home. You smell an onion that someone is cutting in the kitchen.
Explain why you are able to smell it, what this process is called, and what other types of substances
exhibit this behavior.
Answer:
We can smell it because the particles travel from a high concentration to a low concentration and mix with the
gasses in the environment, allowing us to perceive it. Diffusion is a process in which particles travel randomly
from a high concentration area to a low concentration area, causing a material to transfer from one to the other.
Diffusion occurs more quickly in gasses than in liquids or solids due to the random movement of their particles.
Perfume, incense sticks, and food heating are examples of other things that display this tendency.

3. Draw graphs representing Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, and Gay-Lussac’s law for a fixed amount of
gas. Make sure that you label each axis and state the assumptions for each law—that is, the
variable(s) that is (are) held constant for each law.
