Question
State Boyle's Law.
Solution 1
Robert Boyle systematically studied the relationship between pressure and volume of gases. In 1962, 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 on-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
