 Boyle’s Law states that for a fixed mass of gas, the
pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its
volume when the temperature is kept constant.

 That is PV = constant or =

 When the volume of a gas is reduced, the pressure of

the gas increases.

 The oxygen cooled
under high pressure so
that the volume of the
oxygen can be reduced.
 Due to the high
pressure in the tank,
the tank is made of
metals which are hard
and thick.
 Relationship between
Celcius and Kelvin.

 ӨoC = (Ө + 273) K

 The temperature of
-273oC is the minimum
temperature which can
be achieved by the
gas.

 This temperature is
known as absolute
zero.

 Charles’ law states that for a fixed mass of gass, the
volume of the gas is directly proportional to its
absolute temperature when its pressure is kept
constant.

 That is = constant or

 The volume of a gas, at constant pressure, increases

with temperature.

 According to Charles’ law,
the volume of a gas
increases when its
temperature is increased
at constant volume.

 The pressures law states that for a fixed mass of
gass, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional
to its absolute temperature when its volume is kept
constant.

 That is = constant or

 The pressure of a gas increases with its

temperature.
 When the car is moving,
the tyres will roll on the
surfaces of the road &
causes compression on
the tyres.
 This will increases the
temperature in the
tyres & therefore
increases the air
pressure in the tyres.
