Answer 2

Boyles law states that the (b) pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume at the constant temperature.

Explanation:

As per Boyles law, it is clearly stated that the temperature is maintained constant. This means that the temperature will not change. But under this condition the volume of the given mass of dry gas, is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.

So, if we were to write the Boyles law in terms of simple language, we can say that the law is true for ideal gas.

So the volume is inversely proportional to pressure of the gas. If we increase the pressure, the volume of the gas decreases and vice versa.

 Or V α 1/P (keeping the temperature constant).

Thus the correct option is B – pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume at constant pressure.
