Boyles Law The relationship between pressure and volume
Boyle’s Law The relationship between pressure and volume • Robert Boyle, an English scientist, first measured gases quantitatively in 1662. • He found that the value of PV remained the same if the temperature was held constant. • Boyle’s Law states PV = constant • As the pressure increases, the volume decreases • P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2
