Answers
gas laws, laws that relate the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas. Boyle’s law—named for Robert Boyle—states that, at constant temperature, the pressure P of a gas varies inversely with its volume V, or PV = k, where k is a constant.
Boyle's law relates the pressure of a gas to its volume.
Boyle's Law states that:
"The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system."
- It is also called Mariotte's law
- In short, it gives us a relation concerning the compression and expansion of gas at a constant temperature.
Thus,
P ∝ 1/V,
=> P.V. = k
=> P1V1 = P2V2
where P1 = initial pressure exerted by gas
V1 = initial volume exerted by gas
V2 = final volume exerted by gas
P2 = final pressure exerted by gas
i.e.,
Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume at a constant temperature.
Thus,
Boyle's law relates the pressure of a gas to its volume at a constant temperature.
