//**BOYLE'S GAS LAW**//

In the mid 1600's, Boyle observed that the product of the pressure and volume are observed to be nearly constant. The product of pressure and volume is exactly a constant for an ideal gas (P x V = Constant). The relationship between pressure and volume became known as Boyle's Law.



This diagram, gives a perfect picture of how Boyle's law works. As we know, Boyle's law is, for a fixed amount of gas kept at a fixed temperature, //P// and //V// are inversely proportional. Which in other words means that while one increases, the other decreases. Boyle's law is useful when comparing two conditions of the same gas with no change in the temperature.
