Question
State Boyle’s Law.
Advertisements
Solution 1
Robert Boyle systematically studied the relationship between pressure and volume of gases. In 1662, he found that, at a constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of a dry gas decreased by half when the pressure on it was doubled, and it became four times its original volume when its pressure was decreased to one-fourth. He described this behaviour in the form of a law, known as Boyle’s Law.
Solution 2
Boyle’s Law: Temperature remaining constant, the volume of a given mass of dry gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
V α `1/P` = T = Constant
