2. 2 Boyle’s Law Boyle’s law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely related to its volume when T and n are constant. if volume decreases, the pressure increases. Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education, Inc.

3. 3 In Boyle’s law, the product P x V is constant as long as T and n do not change. P 1 V 1 = 8.0 atm x 2.0 L = 16 atm L P 2 V 2 = 4.0 atm x 4.0 L = 16 atm L P 3 V 3 = 2.0 atm x 8.0 L = 16 atm L Boyle’s law can be stated as P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 (T, n constant) PV Constant in Boyle’s Law

4. 4 Solving for a Gas Law Factor The equation for Boyle’s law can be rearranged to solve for any factor. P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 Boyle’s law To solve for V 2, divide both sides by P 2. P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 P 2 P 2 V 1 xP 1 = V 2 P 2

5. 5 Boyles’ Law and Breathing During an inhalation, the lungs expand. the pressure in the lungs decreases. air flows towards the lower pressure in the lungs. Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education, Inc.

6. 6 Boyles’ Law and Breathing During an exhalation, lung volume decreases. pressure within the lungs increases. air flows from the higher pressure in the lungs to the outside. Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education, Inc.
