Understanding Boyle's Law and Its Application to Gases

Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, provided the temperature and amount of gas remain constant. This means that as the volume of a gas decreases, its pressure increases, and vice versa.

Mathematically, Boyle's Law can be expressed as:

[ P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 ]

where (P_1) and (V_1) are the initial pressure and volume, and (P_2) and (V_2) are the final pressure and volume, respectively.

Understanding this law is crucial in comprehending the behavior of gases in various settings and is a fundamental concept in the study of gas laws.
