  • Boyle's Law: Understanding the Relationship Between Pressure and Volume
    The statement defining the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature is Boyle's Law. It states that:

    The pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature.

    This can be expressed mathematically as:

    P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

    Where:

    * P₁ = initial pressure

    * V₁ = initial volume

    * P₂ = final pressure

    * V₂ = final volume

    This means that if the pressure of a gas is increased, its volume will decrease proportionally, and vice versa, as long as the temperature remains constant.
