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.
