Question
practice it
what happens to pressure when volume increases (according to boyles law)?
pressure increases
pressure fluctuates
pressure decreases
volume and pressure are totally separate and dont effect each other
pressure stays the same
Boyle's Law states that for a given amount of gas at a constant temperature, \( P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \) (where \( P \) is pressure and \( V \) is volume). This shows an inverse relationship between pressure and volume. When volume (\( V \)) increases, to keep the product \( PV \) constant (since temperature and amount of gas are constant as per Boyle's Law conditions), pressure (\( P \)) must decrease. For example, if \( V_2>V_1 \), then \( P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}
