Boyle's Law: Pressure and Volume
Robert Boyle (1627-1691), a British chemist, used a simple j-tube apparatus to experimentally compress air in the closed-end of a tube. As he added Mercury to the open end, the weight of the mercury compressed air trapped at the closed-end. The temperature was kept constant.
3
Boyle's Findings
If the pressure on a gas increases, its volume decreases proportionately.
If the pressure on a gas decreases, its volume increases proportionately.
4
Boyle's Findings (continued)
If the volume of a gas increases, its pressure decreases proportionately.
If the volume of a gas decreases, its pressure increases proportionately.
5
Inverse Relationship
Because the changes in pressure and volume are always opposite and proportional, the relationship between pressure and volume is an inverse proportion. Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature are inversely proportional. When one goes up the other must go down.
