How are pressure and volume related?

Expert Solution

BOYLE'S LAW is an experimental gas law that describes how the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases.It means when pressure is increases then volume is decreases,and when pressure is decreases volume is increases.

A modern statement of boyle's is the absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the tempertaure and amount of a gas remain unchanged in a closed system.

Mathematically boyle's law stated as P 1/V

Pressure is directly proportional to the reciprocal of volume.

PV=k, pressure multipied by volume equals some constant k

Where P is the pressure of the gas,V is the volume of the gas and k is constant

This equation states that product of a pressure and volume is constant for a given mass of a confined gas and the temperature is constant.this law can usefully expressed as

P₁V₁=P₂V₂

This equation shows that as volume increases,the pressure of a gas decreases in proportion similarly as volume decreases,the pressure of the gas increases
