What is Boyle's Law?

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas varies inversely with its volume. Mathematically:

Key Concepts

Important aspects of Boyle's Law:

• Temperature must remain constant
• Number of gas molecules must be fixed
• Pressure and volume are inversely proportional
• Product of P and V is constant
• Applies to ideal gases

Real-World Applications

Boyle's Law is used in:

• Breathing and lung function
• Syringe operation
• Pneumatic devices
• Scuba diving equipment
• Industrial gas compression
• Aerosol cans
