Boyle’s Law
What is Boyle’s Law? • Boyle’s Law is one of the laws in physics that
concern the behavior of gases• When a gas is under pressure it takes up
less space• The higher the pressure, the smaller the
volume• Boyles Law tells us about the relationship
between the volume of a gas and its pressure at a constant temperature
• The law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume
How can we write Boyle’s Law as a formula?
• Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume and can be written as:
• Pressure 1/volume
P=pressure in N/m2
V=volume in dm3 (litres)k=constant
• This is more usually written as:
• Pressure = constant
volume
• PV=k
• P1V1=P2V2
How can we investigate Boyle’s Law?• When investigating Boyles law a given volume of
gas is sucked into a cylinder and the end is sealed• The temperature of the gas is kept constant• Using several equal weights we can apply
increasing pressure to the gas• We can calculate the pressure by dividing the
force applied by the area of the top of the cylinder
• The volume will be shown on the scale on the cylinder
Boyle’s Law Apparatus
Below are some results of an experiment
• Calculate pV (pressure x volume) for each set of results. What do you notice?
Pressure p Volume V P x V
1.1 40 44
1.7 26
2.2 20
2.6 17
What these experimental results show
• The pressure x volume for each set of results remains constant
• This is called Boyle’s Law
• For a fixed mass of gas, at constant temperature, pV = constant or
P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
• Let us look at the results again
Here are the results of the experiment
• Did you notice that if p is doubled, V is halved?• If p increases to 3 times as much, V decreases to a 1/3rd . This
means:• Volume is inversely proportional to pressure, or
V 1 p
Pressure p Volume V P x V
1.1 40 44
1.7 26 44
2.2 20 44
2.6 17 44
What sort of graphs would this data give?
• If we plot volume directly against pressure we would get a downwards curve showing that volume gets smaller as the pressure gets larger, and vice versa.
Another way of plotting the data• Curved lines are hard to recognize, so we
plot the volume against the reciprocal of pressure (i.e. 1/p)
• This time the points lie close to a straight line through the origin.
• This means volume is directly proportional to 1/pressure or volume is inversely proportional to pressure
This leads us back to Boyle’s Law
Boyle’s Law: for a fixed mass of gas kept at constant temperature the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
Problem:• A deep sea diver is
working at a depth where the pressure is 3.0 atmospheres. He is breathing out air bubbles. The volume of each air bubble is 2 cm2. At the surface the pressure is 1 atmosphere. What is the volume of each bubble when it reaches the surface?
How we work this out:
• We assume that the temperature is constant, so Boyle’s Law applies:
• Formula first: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
• Then numbers:= 1.0 x 2 = 3.0 x V2
• Now rearrange the numbers so that you have V2 on one side, and the rest of the numbers on the other side of the ‘equals’ symbol.
Here’s what you should have calculated
V2 = 3.0 x 2
1.0
therefore volume of bubbles = 6 cm3
Note that P1 and P2 have the same unit, as will V1 and V2

Problems:1.A gas occupies 12.3 liters at a pressure of 40.0 mm Hg. What is the volume when the pressure is increased to 60.0 mm Hg?
2. If a gas at 25.0 °C occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm, what will be its volume at a pressure of 2.50 atm?
3. A gas occupies 1.56 L at 1.00 atm. What will be the volume of this gas if the pressure becomes 3.00 atm?
4. A gas occupies 11.2 liters at 0.860 atm. What is the pressure if the volume becomes 15.0 L?
5. 500.0 mL of a gas is collected at 745.0 mm Hg. What will the volume be at standard pressure?
6. Convert 350.0 mL at 740.0 mm of Hg to its new volume at standard pressure.
7. Convert 338 L at 63.0 atm to its new volume at standard pressure.
ConversionsK = °C + 2731 cm3 (cubic centimeter) = 1 mL (milliliter)1 dm3 (cubic decimeter) = 1 L (liter) = 1000 mLStandard Conditions0.00 °C = 273 K1.00 atm = 760.0 mm Hg = 101.325 kPa = 101,325 Pa
