Question

section vocabulary
boyle’s law the law that states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas when temperature is constant
charles’s law the law that states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas when pressure is constant
pressure the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
temperature a measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
volume a measure of the size of a body or region in three - dimensional space

1. identify name the three factors that affect how a gas behaves.
2. describe what happens to the temperature and volume of a balloon if it is taken outside on a cold winter day?
3. calculate you have three liters of gas at a certain kelvin temperature and a certain pressure. the kelvin temperature triples and the pressure stays the same. what is the gas volume? explain your answer.
4. analyze the pressure of the gas is cut in half and the temperature stays the same? what happens to the gas volume? explain your answer.
5. explain when scientists record a gas’s volume, they also record its temperature and pressure. why?

Explanation:

Answer:

(1) Temperature, pressure, volume
(2) Temperature decreases, volume decreases
(3) 9 liters
(4) Volume doubles
(5) Because the volume of a gas depends on its temperature and pressure (as per Boyle's Law and Charles's Law)
