Chemistry
Boyle Law
Relate pressure and volume at constant temperature for a fixed amount of gas.
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Formula Explanation
For an ideal gas under constant temperature and amount, pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
Variables Explained
P₁, V₁ = Initial pressure and volume; P₂, V₂ = Final pressure and volume.
Solved Example
A gas occupies 4 L at 2 atm. Find its volume at 4 atm at constant temperature.
V₂ = (2 × 4) / 4 = 2 L.
