Boyle's+Law-+M.Killeen


 * __Boyle's Law__** is the law that states the relationship between the volume and the pressure of a gas. The relationship between the two characteristics of the gas is that when you increase one, the opposite/other is going to do the opposite.For example if you were to increase the pressure on a gas, the volume would then decrease. The formula for this relationship is as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

This is a graph that is a representation of this relationship investigated by Robert Boyle. As you can see, the Pressure (the x-axis) is on the bottom and as it is increasing, the volume (the y-axis) is slowly decreasing depending upon the change in pressure.
