Answer»

Boyle’s law:

At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically,

V ∝ \(\frac{1}{P}\) .. ..(at constant temperature)

V = k × \(\frac{1}{P}\)

where, k is constant of proportionality.

PV = k = constant For two gases,

P₁V₁= P₂V₂ = constant
