Boyles law
See lessExplanation:
In 1662 Robert Boyle studied the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas of fixed amount at constant temperature. He observed that volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature. Boyles law, published in 1662, states that, at constant temperature, the product of the pressure and volume of a given mass of an ideal gas in a closed system is always constant. It can be verified experimentally using a pressure gauge and a variable volume container. It can also be derived from the kinetic theory of gases: if a container, with a fixed number of molecules inside, is reduced in volume, more molecules will strike a given area of the sides of the container per unit time, causing a greater pressure.
A statement of Boyles law is as follows:
The volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely related to pressure when the temperature is constant.
V ∝ (1P) meaning “Volume is inversely proportional to Pressure”, or
P ∝ (1V) meaning “Pressure is inversely proportional to Volume”, or
where P is the pressure, and V is the volume of a gas, and k1 is the constant in this equation.
