Hello aspirant

Boyle's law is one of the laws in physics that concerns the behavior of gases. When the gas is under pressure it takes up less space. The higher the pressure , the smaller the volume. Boyle's law tells us about the relationship between the volume of a gas and it's pressure at a constant temperature.

The law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume.

Formula for Boyle's law

Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume and can be written as P α 1/ volume

p= pressure in N/m²

V = volume in dm³ ( litres)

k = constant

This is more usually written as

Pressure = Constant / Volume

PV = k

PV = PV

Hi there

Boyle's law says that at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

In other words , for a fixed or given amount of qn ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P (pressure) is inversely proportional to the V (volume) of the gas .

Mathematically,
we can write boyle's law as follows.

P proportional to (1/V)
Or, P = k*(1/V) PV = k
Or, P ₁ V ₁ = P ₂ V ₂

I hope that you find this helpful

Thankyou
