Boyle's law applies to an ideal gas which is compressible

P is proportional to 1/V

the stuff people put in syringes is usually liquid which (compared to a gas) is virtually incompressible. Also a syringe has a hole in it which makes it rather useless as a compression chamber suited to the study of Boyle's law.

Which pioneer was best known for the discovery of a law that helps to explain characteristics of gases?

Robert Boyle is best known for Boyle's Law, which describes the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. This law helps to explain the behavior of gases and is a significant contribution to the field of gas chemistry.


What gas law is P1v1p2v2?

This equation represents Boyle's Law, which states that the initial pressure multiplied by the initial volume is equal to the final pressure multiplied by the final volume for a given quantity of gas at constant temperature.


If a capped syringe is heated in which direction will the syringe plunger move?

The fluid or gas inside the syringe will decrease in temperature, therefore it will decrease in volume. This will cause the syringe piston to slide inside the syringe. This is because of the ideal gas law: PV=nRT. If the pressure (P), the number of moles (n), and the ideal gas constant (R) remains constant, than the change in volume must be proportional to the change in temperature.


The variable that Boyles law holds constant is?

The variable that Boyle's law holds constant is the temperature. Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, as long as the temperature remains constant.


What is the use of a gas syringe in science?

A gas syringe is used to measure the volume of a gas produced in a chemical reaction. It allows for precise measurements of the volume of gas evolved in a reaction, which is important for determining reaction yields or understanding gas laws such as Boyle's Law and Charles's Law.

How are Boyles law and Charles 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).
