They are inversely proportional.
"When the pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure is decreased, the volume increases." More precisely, pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
Boyle's law states that the absolute pressure and volume of a gas (if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system) is inversely proportional. If one doubles, the other is halved. So if we alter pressure, the volume changes. Therefore your variables are V and P. Volume and pressure
Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased the volume of a gas decreases. P x V is a constant at constant Temperature Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2
Boyle's Law. This law says that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related. In other words, as the pressure of a gas goes up, the volume goes down and vice versa.
Temperature!~ ^^
Volume increases! If pressure is kept constant then temperature and volume are directly related to each other.(Charle's law). It states that:V1/T1 = V2/T2
When the pressure of a gas is increased, the volume of the gas is decreased. When the pressure of the gas is decreased, the volume increases
Pressure is usually inversly proportional to volume, but proportional to temperature. All other things being equal, higher temperatures result in higher pressure, wheras higher volumes result in lower pressure.
1. A more correct name is Boyle-Mariotte law, because Mariotte discovered this lawafter Boyle but indepedently.. 2. This law is a relation between pressure and volume at constant temperature. The equation is: pV = k where p is the pressure (variable), V is the volume (variable) , k is a constant specific for the system.
that the temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume at constant pressure. In other words, if you increase the temperature of a gas, its volume will also increase.
Air pressure is the weight of all the air above you. The higher you go, the more air is below you.
The pressure and volume are inversely proportional. If you double one, the other will be reduced by 1/2 (as long as the temperature is constant). Boyles law states: P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2 In English that means, pressure times volume divided by temperature in the first "state" will equal to pressure times volume divided by temperature in the second state. Temperatures are all converted to degrees kelvin. So, calculate the pressure, temperature and volume of a quantity of a gas, change one of the variables of that quantity of gas for the second state and the other values will change to maintain equality.
