Boyle's Law states:
* At a constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
In simpler terms:
* If you increase the volume of a gas, its pressure will decrease.
* If you decrease the volume of a gas, its pressure will increase.
Think of it like this:
Imagine you have a balloon filled with air. If you squeeze the balloon, you decrease its volume. The same amount of air is now squeezed into a smaller space, causing the pressure inside the balloon to increase. Conversely, if you let go of the balloon, it expands, increasing the volume and reducing the pressure.
Important Note: This relationship holds true for ideal gases and assumes constant temperature. In reality, gases are not perfectly ideal, and there may be slight deviations from this law.
