Step 1

Boyle's Law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship when temperature is held constant. Mathematically, this can be expressed as P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume values, and P2 and V2 are the values Show more…

Key Concepts

Isothermal Process

An isothermal process is a thermodynamic process in which the temperature of the system remains constant. In the context of gas behavior, when a gas expands or is compressed isothermally, Boyle’s Law applies because the constant temperature ensures that changes in pressure and volume are directly linked through an inverse relationship.

Boyle's Law

Boyle's Law is a fundamental principle in gas behavior that states that, for a fixed amount of gas kept at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This means that when the volume of the gas increases, its pressure decreases in such a way that the product of the pressure and volume remains constant, and vice versa.
