Boyle’s and Charles’s Laws Worksheet (Make-up) Name ___________________ Date_______

Directions: Decide which Gas Law to use to answer each problem. You need to show work (including units in your set up and final
answer) to get credit. Round to two decimal places and Circle your final answer. Write in the Gas Law that you use.

Boyle’s Law P1V1 = P2V2 Charles’s Law V1/T1 = V2/T2 K= oC + 273, oC = K - 273
