Boyle's Law states:
* At a constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its absolute pressure.
This means that if you increase the pressure on a gas, its volume will decrease proportionally. Conversely, if you decrease the pressure, the volume will increase.
Mathematically, this is represented as:
* P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Where:
* P₁ = Initial pressure
* V₁ = Initial volume
* P₂ = Final pressure
* V₂ = Final volume
