Boyle's Law

What is Boyle's law? Well let's see it is a following law that explains the relationship of the volume and the pressure of a gas of initial amount of gases. Boyle who compressed the pressure found out the volume of the following gas decreased. Using this equation, we can find the following volume of a gas:

p1v1=p2v2 closely, P1*V1=P2*V2,

with P pressure and V volume. Having the original pressure of P1V1 it would be 760 mm Hg and for example 26 ml and the new pressure would be P2 of 650mm Hg, but we need to know the new amount of volume.

Using the equation, we know 760*26=650*? to find ? We have to divide (760*26)/650=? And ? = 30.4ml back to the main page
