2. THE PRESSURE-VOLUME RELATIONSHIP: BOYLE’S LAW
❝The pressure of a fixed amount of gas
at a constant temperature is inversely
proportional to the volume of the gas ❞
3. ROBERT BOYLE
Robert Boyle is best known in chemistry
classrooms for Boyle's law, which describes
the fundamental relationship between the
pressure of a gas and the volume it occupies.

•Problem #1: A gas occupies 12.3 liters
at a pressure of 40.0 mmHg. What is
the volume when the pressure is
increased to 60.0 mmHg?

•Problem #2: 4.35 L of a gas is at 1.16
atm. What pressure is obtained when the
volume is 9.3 L?
12. SOLVE….
•A balloon was inflated to a volume of 5.0
liters at a pressure of 0.90 atm. It rises to
an altitude where its volume becomes
25.0 liters. What is the new pressure?
