drag each label to the correct location on the table. match each scenario to the law that explains it. a balloon shrinks when its taken outside in the winter. when the size of an air chamber is increased, the air pressure decreases. a balloon expands when air is blown into it. a closed, flexible container expands when its heated. pressing on an inflated balloon decreases its size. boyles law (pv = k) charless law (v/t = k) avogadros law (v/n = k)
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Boyle's Law ($PV = k$) states that pressure and volume are inversely - proportional at constant temperature. Pressing on an inflated balloon decreases its size (volume) as pressure is increased, and when the size of an air - chamber is increased, the air pressure decreases.
- Charles's Law ($\frac{V}{T}=k$) states that volume and temperature are directly proportional at constant pressure. A balloon shrinks when taken outside in the winter (lower temperature, lower volume) and a closed, flexible container expands when heated (higher temperature, higher volume).
- Avogadro's Law ($\frac{V}{n}=k$) states that volume and the amount of gas (number of moles) are directly proportional at constant temperature and pressure. A balloon expands when air is blown into it as the amount of gas inside the balloon increases.
