Boyle's Law

In Chemistry, Boyles law is used to solve for pressure. Boyle's Law is one of the first law studied in school chemistry when learning about gases. Below is the equation for Boyles Law as well as the definition of Boyles Law.

What is Boyle's Law?

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. In another word, if the pressure is doubled, then the volume is halved. Boyles Law holds if the temperature is kept constant. This is one of the assumption when using Boyles Law to solve for pressure. Below are Boyles Law equations

As the pressure (P) increases, the volume (V) decreases as expressed in the Boyles Law equations above. A graph of P against 1/V is a straight line passing through the origin. Also:

P x V = constant
