"For a fixed mass of ideal gas at fixed temperature, the product of pressure and volume is a constant."
This means that if you have a container with an ideal gas in it, and the container is closed so that no gas can escape or get int (i.e. the mass of the gas contained is constant), when you raise the volume of the container by some ratio, the pressure will be reduced by the same ratio. So if you triple the volume, the pressure will be reduced to a third of its original value. And if you quadruple the pressure, the volume will go down by a factor of 4.

What is the gas law which has an inverse relationship between pressure and volume?
At constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is a constant, or pressure is inversely proportional to volume, is known as Boyle's Law.
What are the effects of temperature and volume of gas samples at constant pressure?
If the volume is constant, the density does not change with temperature. With increasing temperature there is still the same number of molecules confined to the same volume of space, so no difference in density.
What is an expression of Boyle's law?
PV = constant
What is the effect of varying the temperature on the volume of a constant mass of a gas at a constant pressure?
the relation is given by charles law which says that the volume of a constant mass of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature so increase in temperature causes an increASE in the volume
The relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature is given by?
P V = n R TThe product of (pressure) x (volume) is directly proportional to absolute temperature.So at constant temperature, they have to be inversely proportional to each other.In other words, if, at constant temperature, you increase either the pressure orthe volume of a sample of gas, the other one must decrease by the same factor.
When temperature and number of particles of a gas are constant what is also constant?
The product of pressure and volume. Does PV = nRT look familiar? (:
What is the gas law which has an inverse relationship between pressure and volume?
At constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is a constant, or pressure is inversely proportional to volume, is known as Boyle's Law.
What does Boyle's Law state?
Gases Boyle's law states that the Volume of a given amount of gas at constant Temperature varies inversely proportional to Pressure. You have a given volume of gas, and you double its pressure keeping Temperature constant, the volume will reduce by half.
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 the temperature is constant will the the volume of a gas decrease as the pressure decreases?
At constant temperature p.V=constant, so pressure INcreases when decreasing the volume.
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
When does raising the temperature of gas increase its pressure?
Increasing the temperature of a gas will increase it's pressure ONLY if the volume is held constant.
What are the effects of temperature and volume of gas samples at constant pressure?
If the volume is constant, the density does not change with temperature. With increasing temperature there is still the same number of molecules confined to the same volume of space, so no difference in density.
Does gas retain it's volume at varying temps and pressures?
It can but, not necessarily so. At a constant volume the temperature and pressure rise in direct proportion. At a constant temperature the volume is inversely proportionate to the pressure. At a constant pressure the volume is directly proportionate to the temperature.
If the temperature of a gas is decreased at a constant pressure what happens to its volume?
When the temperature of a gas is increased at a constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is devreased at constnt pressure, its volume decreases.
When the temperature of a gas is constant will the volume increase or decrease as the pressure decreases?
as the pressure decreases the volume of gas increases at constant temperature
At a constant temperature what is the impact to volume if the pressure is increased?
Volume & pressure are inversely proportionate, if temperature stays constant volume would decrease at a factor proporionate to the increase in pressure.
