Boyle's

Boyle's Law
This law states that the volume of a constant mass of gas has an inverse relationship with the pressure at constant temperature. From this law the mathematical equation can be determined: PV=k P stands for pressure, V represents the volume, and k is the constant. Another equation can be derived form this law: P1xV1=P2xV2 This is used for calculating the 4th value in the system. P1 and V2 represent the original conditions and P2 and V2 stand for a different set of conditions.
