CHEMISTRY WORKSHEET: Boyle’s Law
Boyle’s Law - Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure when T & n are constant.
Pressure can be measured in any unit as long as it is the same on both sides of the equation,
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Solve the following:
1. A ballon has 500. mL of gas at 800.0 torr will have what volume at standard pressure (STP)?
P1=
V1=
P2= 760 torr
V2=
2. What pressure will be needed to change 4.67 L of gas 45 psi to 2.00 L?

CHEMISTRY WORKSHEET: Charles’ Law
Charles’ Law - Volume of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature when P & n are
constant. NOTE: All temps (T) must be in Kelvin, not Celsius (t).
Converting oCelsius to Kelvin is done by adding 273
to the Celsius temperature, and vice versa.
