Question

According to Boyle, pressure and volume of a confined gas are _______ proportional, and according to Charles, the volume of a gas at constant pressure is _______ proportional to its Kelvin temperature.

Answer 1

According to Boyle, pressure and volume of a confined gas are INVERSELY proportional, and according to Charles, the volume of a gas at constant pressure is DIRECTLY proportional to its Kelvin temperature.

Answer 2

Answer: Inversely, directly

Explanation: 1) Boyle's Law: The law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

`P\propto (1)/(V)` (At constant temperature and number of moles)

2) Charles' Law: The law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas in Kelvin at constant pressure and number of moles.

`V\propto T` (At constant pressure and number of moles)
