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."

JudyBoyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, as long as the temperature and amount of gas remain constant. This means that if you decrease the volume of a gas, its pressure will increase, and vice versa. Mathematically, Boyle's Law can be expressed as P1V1 = P2V2, where P is the pressure and V is the volume.
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.

When using Boyles law you know the product of which two qantities is a constant?
Yes, this is the principle of the Boyle-Mariotte law. The equation is pV=k. Boyle established experimentally this law, Mariotte rediscovered the law and Newton offer a theoretical demonstration.
As the pressure on a gas increases the volume of the gas decreases who's law is this?
This is Boyle's Law, which states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. Thus, when pressure increases, volume decreases.
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.
Is boyles law applicable to noble gases?
Yes, Boyle's Law is applicable to noble gases. Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This relationship holds true for all gases, including noble gases like helium, neon, and argon.
Is boyles law direct or inverse?
Boyle's Law is an inverse relationship. It states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, when the temperature is kept constant. This means that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa.
