Law: Boyle's Law

Statement: For a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

V ∝ \[\frac {1}{P}\] or PV = constant
P1V1 = P2V2 or \[\frac {P_1}{P_2}\] = \[\frac {V_2}{V_1}\]
  • Constants held: mass of gas, temperature.
  • P-V graph: Hyperbolic curve; P vs 1/V graph: straight line through origin.
  • P increases → V decreases proportionally.
