name: period: date: the gas laws: boyle and charles pressure temperature volume boyle’s law boyle’s law explains the relationship between and of a gas. if the volume of a gas, then the pressure. if the volume of a gas, then the pressure. air inside the syringe is under pressure, causing the marshmallow to. air inside the syringe is under pressure, causing the marshmallow to. examples: decreasing volume increases collisions and increases pressure.

Explanation:

Boyle's Law states that for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of the gas are inversely proportional. When the volume of a gas decreases, the gas particles are more confined, increasing collisions with the container walls and thus increasing pressure. When volume increases, the opposite occurs. In a syringe example, higher - pressure air compresses a marshmallow, and lower - pressure air allows it to expand.

Answer:

Boyle’s Law explains the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.
If the volume of a gas decreases, then the pressure increases.
If the volume of a gas increases, then the pressure decreases.
Air inside the syringe is under high pressure, causing the marshmallow to compress.
Air inside the syringe is under low pressure, causing the marshmallow to expand.
Examples:

• A bicycle pump compresses air (volume decreases, pressure increases).
• A deflating balloon (volume of gas inside decreases as gas escapes, pressure inside decreases relative to outside).
• A sealed container with a movable piston: pushing the piston in decreases gas volume and increases pressure.
