Boyle's law states that, temperature remaining constant, the volume of a fixed mass of dry gas decreases with an increase in pressure . Therefore, we can say that, temperature being constant, the volume of a given mass of dry gas is inversely proportional to the pressure applied on it. The official definition of Boyle's Law is "the product of the pressure and volume for a gas is a constant for a fixed amount of gas at a fixed temperature."

∙ 12y ago1. A more correct name is Boyle-Mariotte law.
2. This law is a relation between pressure and volume at constant temperature. The equation is:
pV = k
where p is the pressure, V is the volume, k is a constant specific for the system.

∙ 8y agoBoyle's Law gives the variation of the volume of a gas with pressure. It states that temperature remaining constant, volume of a given amount of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. That is-
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

As the pressure on a gas increases the volume of the gas decreases who's law is this?
boyle's law.
Is boyles law applicable to noble gases?
Yes, they obey the gas law for ideal gases.
Is boyles law direct or inverse?
Inverse.......when ever you have two variables multiplying it is inverse
What is the shape of a boyle law graph?
boyles law is the status in which fixed amount of gas at given temperature and inversly proportional to applied pressure
Who determined that if you decrease the volume of a container of gas and hold the temperature constant the pressure of the gas will increase.?
Robert Boyle. As in Boyles Law.
What gas law is P1v1p2v2?
Boyles Law
What are some real life applications of Boyle's law?
When you pop a balloon by overfilling it with air, you are applying Boyles Law. When a nurse fills a syringe before she gives you a shot, she is working with Boyles Law. Sport and commercial diving. Underwater salvage operations rely on Boyles Law to calculate weights from bottom to surface. When your ears pop on a plane as it rises from takeoff, that's Boyles Law in action.
How are boyles law and Charles law similar?
They are both gas laws?
Boyles law is used to measure what?
Boyles law refers to an experimental law involving gas and its pressure, used to measure the volume of that gas. It ultimately measures the pressure and volume of that gas.
What is Boyles law well known for?
Boyle's Law is the inverse relationship between pressure and volume.
Pressure and volume change at a constant temperature who's law is this?
Boyles Law
What state of matter obey's Boyles law?
Liquid The Boyle law is for gases !!
Is boyles law a direct or indirect relationship?
Boyle's Law is an indirect relationship. (Or an inverse)
What are Robert boyles creations?
he invented the formulation of "BOYLE'S LAW"
Is an example of boyles law?
yes im not sure why, but yea
As the pressure on a gas increases the volume of the gas decreases who's law is this?
boyle's law.
How are Boyles law and Charles law alike?
Boyles Law deals with conditions of constant temperature. Charles' Law deals with conditions of constant pressure. From the ideal gas law of PV = nRT, when temperature is constant (Boyles Law), this can be rearranged to P1V1 = P2V2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas). When pressure is constant, it can be rearranged to V1/T1 = V2/T2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas).
