Question

Which gas law is summarized with the following equation?
$P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2$

• A. Boyle's Law
• B. Ideal Gas Law
• C. Combined Gas Law
• D. Charles' Law

Answer 1

The correct option is A Boyle's Law

Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship when the temperature is held constant. If volume increases, the pressure decreases and vice versa when a temperature is held constant.

The mathematical equation for Boyle's law is: The initial and final volumes and pressures of the fixed amount of gas, where the initial and final temperatures are the same (heating or cooling will be required to meet this condition), are related by the equation:

$P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2$

Here $P_1$ and $V_{!}$ represent the original pressure and volume, respectively, whereas $P_2$ and $V_2$ represent the second pressure and volume.
