Question

name: period: date: the gas laws: boyle and charles pressure temperature volume boyles law boyles 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 volume increases, pressure decreases and vice - versa. In a syringe example, when the air inside is under higher pressure (volume decreased), the marshmallow compresses; when under lower pressure (volume increased), the marshmallow expands. Examples could include a bicycle pump (compressing air, increasing pressure) or a balloon deflating (decreasing volume, increasing pressure).

Answer:

Boyle's Law explains the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.
If the volume of a gas increases, then the pressure decreases.
If the volume of a gas decreases, then the pressure increases.
Air inside the syringe is under higher pressure, causing the marshmallow to compress.
Air inside the syringe is under lower pressure, causing the marshmallow to expand.
Examples: Bicycle pump operation; Balloon deflating; Compressing air in a sealed container.
