Question

1. using p, v, and k, write an equation representing boyle’s law. write a verbal statement that correctly expresses boyle’s law using your equation.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Boyle's law equation

Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the product of pressure ($P$) and volume ($V$) of a given mass of gas is constant ($k$). So the equation is $P\times V = k$.

Step2: Write verbal statement

For a fixed - mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. Mathematically, when the volume of the gas increases, the pressure decreases in such a way that their product remains the constant value $k$, and vice - versa.

Answer:

Equation: $P\times V = k$
Verbal statement: For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional such that their product is a constant.
