Question

the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas according to boyles law

Answer 1

According to this law, the pressure exerted by a gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the volume of the gas. For example, if the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved. The reason for this effect is that a gas is made up of loosely spaced molecules moving at random. If a gas is compressed in a container, these molecules are pushed together; thus, the gas occupies less volume. The molecules, having less space in which to move, hit the walls of the container more frequently and thus exert an increased pressure.

Answer 2

As the pressure increases, the volume decreases and as the volume increases the pressure decreases. It is an inverse reaction.
