Question #1bd4a
1 Answer
Thanks for this gas law question.
You will not be able to solve a problem involving volume, pressure, and temperature with just [Boyle's Law]
(http://socratic.org/chemistry/the-behavior-of-gases/boyle-s-law). Boyle's Law, in short, states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure AS LONG AS THE TEMPERATURE REMAINS UNCHANGED.
In order to work a problem with pressure, temperature, and volume, you will have to include Charles's Law. Simplified, Charles's Law states that as you increase the temperature of a gas, its volume increases. This is a direct relationship.
You can combine Boyle's Law and Charles's Law and work a problem using the following equation:
Hope this helps.
