Question

According to Boyle's law, for a fixed quantity of gas at a given temperature, what quantity relating pressure P and volume V is constant? View Available Hint(s) According to Boyle's law, for a fixed quantity of gas at a given temperature, what quantity relating pressure and volume is constant? PV P×V P+V VP

Answer 1

Answer:

PV = k

Explanation:

Boyles law states that the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume V provided that the temperature T is constant (i.e does not vary).

Mathematically, boyle's law can be expressed as;

P = k/V where k us the constant of proportionality. From the equation;

PV = k which is also equivalent to;

P1V1 = P2V2 = PnVn

P1, P2... Pn are the values of the pressures

V1, V2...Vn are the values of the volumes
