Question

1. What is Boyle’s law?

What are the assumptions of Boyle’s law?
Write at least one mathematical equation that represents the law.
What can be calculated with Boyle’s law?

Answer 2

The wiki explains most of it, but the balloon question
when you squeeze the volume decreases and the pressure increases.
When you release it, the volume increases back and the pressure decreases.
Boyles law basically means the relationship between volume and pressure is inversely proportional ( one goes up the other goes down)

Answer 3

Thank you!
