Answer:
Explanation:
a law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.
Answer:
Boyle’s law states the relation between volume and pressure at constant temperature and mass. Robert Boyle conducted an experiment on gases to study the deviation of its behaviour in changed physical conditions.
It states that under a constant temperature when the pressure on a gas increases its volume decreases. In other words according to Boyle’s law volume is inversely proportional to pressure when the temperature and the number of molecules are constant.
p ∝ 1/V
p = k1 1/V
k1 here is a proportionality constant, V is the Volume and p is the pressure. On rearranging, we get: k1= pV. Now, if a fixed mass of gas undergoes an expansion at constant temperature then the final volume and pressure shall be p2 and V2. The initial volume and initial pressure here is p1 and V1 then according to Boyle’s law: p1×V1 = p2×V2 = constant (k1)
p1/p2 = V2/V1
