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:

LaoIn Boyle's Law, the temperature is held constant because the law specifically focuses on the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at a fixed temperature. By keeping the temperature constant, any changes in pressure and volume can be directly observed and measured without the complicating factor of temperature affecting the results.

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.
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.
What is Boyles law?
Boyle'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.
How are pressure and volume related in boyles law?
Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This means that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa. Mathematically, this relationship is described by the formula P1V1 = P2V2, where P represents pressure and V represents volume.
Give you the examlpe of Boyles law and the which formula he used?
Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature is held constant. The formula for Boyle's law is P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 represent the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 represent the new pressure and volume after a change.
