2.1: Boyle’s Law

• Boyle's Law


  (Pressure-Volume Relationship)
• Robert Boyle

  • Irish-born gentleman philosopher
  • Studied research and investigation in physics, chemistry, alchemy, and theology
  • First studied the relationship of pressure and volume of a gas in the sealed end of the curved tube by adding mercury on the open end
• Boyle's law


  If the temperature is held in constant, volume and pressure have an inverse relationship; that is, as volume increases, pressure decreases
• Equation: 


  P1V1=P2V2

  
• Where:

  P1= initial pressure

  P2= final pressure

  V1= initial volume

  V2= final volume
