Boyle's Law

Robert Boyle studied the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas. Boyle’s Law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure.

The products of pressure times volume for any two sets of conditions are equal, so Boyle’s law can be shown as

                    P1V1 = P2V2
P1 and V1 represent a set of initial conditions for a gas and P2 and V2 represent a set of new conditions.
