Pressure and Volume
(Boyles Law)
Boyles Law
Boyles law states that
the pressure of a gas
is inversely related to
its volume when T and
n are constant
if the pressure (P)
increases, then the
volume (V) decreases
V2
Conditions 2
P1 = 550 mmHg
V1 = 8.0 L
Know
Predict
= V1 x P1
P2
STEP 3 Set up problem
V2
= 8.0 L x 550 mmHg =
2200 mmHg
2.0 L
pressure ratio
decreases volume

A or cylinder B represents the new volume for the
following changes (n and T are constant):
1) Pressure decreases
2) Pressure increases

Solution
For a cylinder containing helium gas, indicate if cylinder
A or cylinder B represents the new volume for the
following changes (n and T are constant):
1) Pressure decreases (cylinder B)
2) Pressure increases (cylinder A)

Learning Check
If a sample of helium gas has a volume of 120 mL
and a pressure of 850 mmHg, what is the new
volume if the pressure is changed to 425 mmHg?
1) 60 mL
2) 120 mL
3) 240 mL
12
Solution
3) 240 mL
Conditions 1
P1 = 850 mmHg
V1 = 120 mL
Conditions 2
P2 = 425 mmHg
V2 = ?
Know
Predict
P decreases
V increases
425 mmHg
Pressure ratio
increases volume

Learning Check
A sample of helium gas in a balloon has a volume of
10. L at a pressure of 0.90 atm. At 1.40 atm (T
constant), is the new volume represented by A, B, or
C?
14
Solution
A sample of helium gas in a balloon has a volume of
10. L at a pressure of 0.90 atm. At a higher pressure
(T constant), the new volume is represented by the
smaller balloon.
15
Learning Check
If the sample of helium gas has a volume of 6.4 L
at a pressure of 0.70 atm, what is the new
volume when the pressure is increased to 1.40
atm (T constant)?
A) 3.2 L
B) 6.4 L
C) 12.8 L
16
Solution
A) 3.2 L
STEP 1 Set up data table (conditions)
Conditions 1 Conditions 2
Know
Predict
P1 = 0.70 atm
P2 = 1.40 atm
V1 = 6.4 L V2 = ?
P increases
V decreases

Learning Check
A sample of oxygen gas has a
volume of 12.0 L at 600 mmHg.
What is the new pressure when
the volume changes to 36.0 L?
(T and n constant)
1) 200 mmHg
2) 400 mmHg
3) 1200 mmHg
18
Solution
1) 200 mmHg
Conditions 1
Conditions 2
P1 = 600 mmHg
V1 = 12.0 L
P2 = ?
V2 = 36.0 L
Know
Predict
P decreases
V increases
P2 = P1 x V1
V2
600 mmHg x 12.0 L = 200 mmHg
36.0 L
