WHAT DOES BOYLE'S LAW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Boyle's law

Boyle's law

Boyle's law is an experimental gas law which describes how the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of a gas increases. A modern statement of Boyle's law is: The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system. Mathematically, Boyle's law can be stated as or where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant. The equation states that product of pressure and volume is a constant for a given mass of confined gas as long as the temperature is constant. For comparing the same substance under two different sets of condition, the law can be usefully expressed as The equation shows that, as volume increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in proportion. Similarly, as volume decreases, the pressure of the gas increases. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662.

Definition of Boyle's law in the English dictionary

The definition of Boyle's law in the dictionary is the principle that the pressure of a gas varies inversely with its volume at constant temperature.
