The law says that the product of the pressure of a gas and its volume will be a constant. So if you have a gas at 1 atmosphere, a unit of pressure, in a space of 10 cubic feet, and you compress it to 1 cubic foot, the pressure will be 10 atmospheres. This means if you release the gas from the container, it will exit with great force. This is what makes spray cans and air compressors work. Here is an animation that might help.

Which pioneer was best known for the discovery of a law that helps to explain characteristics of gases?
Robert Boyles ...Boyles law which states the principle that at a constant temperature the volume of a confined ideal gas varies inversley with its pressure.
What is the equation for boyles law?
Pressure x Volume = Constant (at a constant temperature).
The variable that Boyles law holds constant is?
Temperature remain constant.
What gas law is P1v1p2v2?
Boyles Law
What are some real life applications of Boyle's law?
When you pop a balloon by overfilling it with air, you are applying Boyles Law. When a nurse fills a syringe before she gives you a shot, she is working with Boyles Law. Sport and commercial diving. Underwater salvage operations rely on Boyles Law to calculate weights from bottom to surface. When your ears pop on a plane as it rises from takeoff, that's Boyles Law in action.
How are boyles law and Charles law similar?
They are both gas laws?
Boyles law is used to measure what?
Boyles law refers to an experimental law involving gas and its pressure, used to measure the volume of that gas. It ultimately measures the pressure and volume of that gas.
What is Boyles law well known for?
Boyle's Law is the inverse relationship between pressure and volume.
Pressure and volume change at a constant temperature who's law is this?
Boyles Law
What state of matter obey's Boyles law?
Liquid The Boyle law is for gases !!
Is boyles law a direct or indirect relationship?
Boyle's Law is an indirect relationship. (Or an inverse)
What are Robert boyles creations?
he invented the formulation of "BOYLE'S LAW"
Is an example of boyles law?
yes im not sure why, but yea
As the pressure on a gas increases the volume of the gas decreases who's law is this?
boyle's law.
How are Charles law and boyles law alike?
Boyles Law deals with conditions of constant temperature. Charles' Law deals with conditions of constant pressure. From the ideal gas law of PV = nRT, when temperature is constant (Boyles Law), this can be rearranged to P1V1 = P2V2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas). When pressure is constant, it can be rearranged to V1/T1 = V2/T2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas).
