What is the Boyle's Law ?
- Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure.
- Volume (v) and pressure (p) are the two variables that relate
- The relationship between the two variables is inverse.
- As the pressure increases, the volume decreases.
- The constant is the temperature.

(This graph shows that as you go across the x-axis the pressure is increasing. As you look at the line you see the line going down, representing, as pressure increases the volume decreases.)
