Question
According to Boyle’s Law, pressure and volume are inversely related which means that __________.
Solution
Boyle's Law states that for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure (P) of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume (V). This relationship can be mathematically expressed as:
or more formally,
where is a constant for a given mass of confined gas. Therefore, if the volume of the gas decreases, the pressure increases, and conversely, if the volume increases, the pressure decreases. This inverse relationship indicates that the product of the pressure and volume remains constant as long as the temperature and the amount of gas are unchanged.
