What does boyle's law mean?
Boyle's law, or the Boyle-Mariotte law, is one of several gas laws and a special case of the ideal gas law. Boyle's law describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662. The law itself can be stated as follows: For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases).

Why did Einstein win the nobel prize in 1921?
He won the prize for physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect"

How do gases react in a chamber - Boyle's law?
The Boyle-Mariotte law is pv=K at constant temeperature.
Who discovered Boyle's law?
Robert Boyle in 1662; rediscovered in 1676 by Edme Mariotte.
Why can you call P1V1 AND P2V2 equivalent?
This is the Boyle-Mariotte law !
Which law says that the product of pressure and volume remains constant at a constant temperature?
This is the Boyle law (or Boyle-Mariotte law).
When using Boyles law you know the product of which two qantities is a constant?
Yes, this is the principle of the Boyle-Mariotte law. The equation is pV=k. Boyle established experimentally this law, Mariotte rediscovered the law and Newton offer a theoretical demonstration.
What is the law relating pressure and volume in a gas?
This is the law of Boyle and Mariotte: pV=k. k is a constant. The temperature is supposed to remain constant.
Boyles Law problem and answer?
The Boyle (or Boyle-Mariotte) law is: the pressure and the volume in a closed system, at a constant temperature, is a constant. They are so inversely proportional.
What is its volume when the pressure is tripled?
1/3 of the initial volume (Boyle-Mariotte law).
Pressure and volume changes at a constant temperature can be calculated using?
You can use Boyle's law to calculate pressure and volume changes at a constant temperature. Boyle's law is an experimental gas law that is sometimes called Boyle-Mariotte law.
Why the compressing of gas give you double pressure?
This is explained by the Boyle-Mariotte law: P.V=k
Who invented Boyle's Law?
In a series of experiments with his friend Richard Towneley, Henry Power discovered the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas that later became known as Boyle's Law. This relationship was outlined in "Experimental Philosophy," but Robert Boyle, after discussing the theory with Towneley and reading a pre-publication manuscript of Experimental Philosophy, cited the hypothesis as the sole work of Richard Towneley. Boyle's mention of the theory preceded the publication of "Experimental Philosophy" by one year. That, combined with Boyle's promotion of the idea and his significant status as a nobleman scientist ensured the theory's moniker of "Boyle's Law." The French physicist Edme Mariotte discovered the same law independently of Boyle in 1676, but Boyle had already published it in 1662. Thus this law may, improperly, be referred to as Mariotte's or the Boyle-Mariotte law. In Summary: Henry Power Richard Towneley Robert Boyle -----------> Published his theory first, so it is named after him. Edme Mariotte
Do the units for the variables in Boyle's law matter?
The Boyle-Mariotte law equation is: pV=k, where - p is the pressure - V is the volume - k is a constant specific for the system
