Question

Significance of boyle's law(pressure volume relationship

Answer 1

Answer:

At constant temperature the pressure(p) of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its volume(v). This is known as Boyle's law .

Mathematically we can write it,

$p \: \alpha \frac{1}{v} \\ = > p = k \: \frac{1}{v} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: .......(1)$

where K is proportionality constant.

K depends up on amount of gas, temperature of the gas and the unit in which p and v are expressed.

Multiplication of pressure (p) and volume (v) of fix amount of gas at constant temperature are constant.

$p = \: k \: \frac{1}{v} \: \: \: (from \: equation1) \\ = > k = pv \:$

there for,

P₁v₁ = k =P₂v₂

P₁/P₂ = v₁/v₂
