The macroscopic properties of gases include its pressure (P), volume (V), its temperature (T), the quantity of the gas, which can be measured by its mass (M), or the number of gas particles (atoms/molecules; N). One of the earliest investigations on a relationship between these properties was conducted by Robert Boyle, chiefly motivated by a hunch against one of his contemporary, Toricelli's claim on how a barometer works. Boyle's set-up was as shown.He attached a small U-tube at the end of a Toricellian tube and powered in mercury from the open end (T); as mercury rose in the closed, shorter column, the trapped air would get more and move compressed - which could only mean, that the pressure increased, and the volume decreased (these were respectively measured by the height of the mercury column, h, and a scale on the shorter column, V, for volume of the trapped air).Which of these statements is/are correct in regard to Boyle's conclusion from the data?
