Boyle's+Law

Add information here to help you and your classmates understand Boyle's Law.

Definition- 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].

P 1 V 1 =P 2 V 2



Sample Problem: A sample of chlorine gas occupies a volume of 946mL at a pressure of 726mmHg. What is the pressure of the gas (in mmHg) if the volume s reduced at a constant temperature to 154mL? P 1 xV 2=P2xV2

P1= 726 mmHg P2=? V1= 946mL V2= 154mL

__726 x 946__= 4460mmHg 154

__Laymans Terms:__ Boyle's law is a lot like a seesaw. On one end is the pressure and on the other is the volume, and temperature is in the middle, so it's constant. as one end goes up, the other goes down.
