BOYEL'S LAW
At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to pressure.
The mathematical equation for Boyle's law is:
where:P denotes the pressure of the system.Vdenotes the volume of the gas.
k is a constant value representative of the pressure and volume of the system.{So long as temperature remains constant the same amount of energy given to the system persists throughout its operation and therefore, theoretically, the value of k will remain constant.} However, due to the derivation of pressure as perpendicular applied force and the probabilistic likelihood of collisions with other particles through collision theory, the application of force to a surface may not be infinitely constant for such values of k, but will have a limit when differentiating such values over a given time.
Forcing the volume V of the fixed quantity of gas to increase, keeping the gas at the initially measured temperature, the pressure p must decrease proportionally. Conversely, reducing the volume of the gas increases the pressure.
Boyle's law is used to predict the result of introducing a change, in volume and pressure only, to the initial state of a fixed quantity of gas. The before and after volumes and pressures of the fixed amount of gas, where the before and after temperatures are the same (heating or cooling will be required to meet this condition), are related by the equation:

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.
How are Charles and boyles law different?
Boyle's law applies to pressures and volumes at constant temperature P1V1 = P2V2. Charles' Law applies to volume and temperature at constant pressure V1/T1 = V2/T2. With temperatures in Kelvin the relationship between temperature and volume is directly proportional.
How are pressure and volume related in boyles law?
Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased the volume of a gas decreases. P x V is a constant at constant Temperature Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2
Give you the examlpe of Boyles law and the which formula he used?
1. 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.
What is Boyles law?
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."
The variable that Boyles law holds constant is?
Temperature remain constant.
What is the equation for boyles law?
Pressure x Volume = Constant (at a constant temperature).
Pressure and volume change at a constant temperature who's law is this?
Boyles 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).

What is the constant and the variables in Boyles law?
The constant k is a...constant specific for the system considered.
When does Boyle's law happen?
Boyles law "happens" when the temperature is held constant and the volume and pressure change.
What are two variables held constant when testing boyles law in manometer?
Temperature & mass keep constant in Boyle's law. Volume and pressure are variable.
Boyles Law problem and answer?
The Boyle (or Boyle-Mariotte) law is: the pressure and the volume in a closed system, at a constant temperature, is a constant. They are so inversely proportional.
What is Boyles law well known for?
Boyle's Law is the inverse relationship between pressure and volume.
Which pioneer was best known for the discovery of a law that helps to explain characteristics of gases?
Robert Boyles ...Boyles law which states the principle that at a constant temperature the volume of a confined ideal gas varies inversley with its pressure.
What held constant in boyles law Charles law and combined gas law gas particles temperature pressure and volume?
Boyle's Law is the inverse relationship of pressure and volume with temperature remaining constant. Charles' Law is the direct relationship of temperature and volume with pressure remaining constant. Gay-Lussac's Law is the direct relationshipof pressure and temperature with volume remaining constant. The Combined Gas Law relates all three - volume, pressure, and temperature.
