Question

pressure and volume of an ideal gas are __________. select the correct answer below: directly proportional inversely proportional identical depends on the gas

Explanation:

According to Boyle's Law for ideal gases, \( P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \) (at constant temperature). This shows that pressure \( P \) and volume \( V \) are inversely proportional (\( P\propto\frac{1}{V} \)).

Answer:

inversely proportional
