A bike pump's sealed cylinder holds 6 L of air at 1 atm. It is squeezed until the pressure is 2 atm, at the same temperature. What is the new volume, Ari?
A balloon holds 5 L of air at 1.5 atm. It rises to where the pressure is 0.75 atm, at the same temperature. What is the new volume, Kira?
3.
Which law links pressure and volume when temperature stays fixed, Jun?
- Charles's law
- Boyle's law
- Gay-Lussac's law
4.
Which law links volume and temperature when pressure stays fixed, Luz?
- Charles's law
- Gay-Lussac's law
- Boyle's law
5.
Which law links pressure and temperature in a rigid, sealed container, Milo?
- Boyle's law
- Charles's law
- Gay-Lussac's law
6.
By Boyle's law, if the pressure on a sealed gas doubles at the same temperature, what happens to its volume, Noah?
- It stays the same
- It doubles
- It halves
7.
By Charles's law, if a gas's kelvin temperature doubles at constant pressure, what happens to its volume, Pia?
- It halves
- It doubles
- It stays the same
8.
By Gay-Lussac's law, if a sealed, rigid gas's kelvin temperature doubles, what happens to its pressure, Ren?
- It halves
- It rises by exactly 2 atm
- It doubles
9.
A balloon goes from 10 °C to 20 °C at constant pressure. Does its volume double, Zee?
- Yes, as long as the pressure stays the same
- No: 283.15 K to 293.15 K is about 3.5% more
- Yes: the temperature in °C doubled
10.
What is 12 °C in kelvins, Esme?
- 12 K, the same number
- 261.15 K, from 273.15 − 12
- 285.15 K

Pressure, volume and temperature of a gas. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

I can use Boyle's law (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂) for a sealed syringe or pump at fixed temperature.
I can use Charles's law (V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂) and Gay-Lussac's law (P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂), with temperatures in kelvins.
I can name the law from what stays fixed, and describe each law's graph.

Standard: none (TX, FL)

Boyle's law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ at fixed temperature

Charles's law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ at fixed pressure

Gay-Lussac's law: P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂ at fixed volume

absolute pressure: Total pressure, not the gauge reading above the air's

Your child had pressure and volume rise together. At fixed temperature, squeezing a gas raises its pressure: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.

Your child had volume or pressure fall as the gas warmed. Warmer gas takes more space, or pushes harder, in kelvins.

Your child used Celsius in a gas law. The laws work in kelvins: add 273.15 first.

What is the most common mistake with pressure, volume and temperature of a gas?

Your child had pressure and volume rise together. At fixed temperature, squeezing a gas raises its pressure: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.
