Question

Why temperature is constant in Boyle's law?

Answer 1

Boyle's law states that the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely with the pressure when the temperature is kept constant. ... The gas molecules are moving and are a certain distance apart from one another. An increase in pressure pushes the molecules closer together, reducing the volume.

Answer 2

Boyle's law states that the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely with the pressure when the temperature is kept constant. An inverse relationship is described in this way. ... The k is a constant for a given sample of gas and depends only on the mass of the gas and the temperature.
