BOYLE’S LAW By: Dyno and Ditha Grade 10, Science Class
Definition • The absolute pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to its volume. OR For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases).
Boyle’s Formula Pressure = Constant/Volume or Volume = Constant/Pressure or Pressure x Volume = Constant The formula is: PV=K OR….
So… Because the formula is equal to a constant, it is possible to solve for a change in volume or pressure using a proportion: PV = P1V1
APPLICATIONS • An application of Boyles Law would be the use of a SYRINGE
IN CONCLUSION… • Boyle’s law states that at constant temperature, the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely proportional. The product of absolute pressure and volume is always constant.
