    Study Notes

    Boyle's Law states that the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, as long as the temperature and quantity of gas remain constant. Discovered by Robert Boyle in 1662, the law can be mathematically represented as P ∝ (1/V) or PV = k. The pressure-versus-volume curve is a straight line when plotted with P on the Y-axis and 1/V on the X-axis. The formula P1V1 = P2V2 allows prediction of pressure increase when a gas's container volume is decreased. This is exemplified by a squeezed balloon, where decreased volume leads to increased pressure, eventually causing the balloon to pop.
