Not to miss in Boyle´s law :

1. Just pressure and volume are allowed to change. ( T° and moles of gas which can change its volume remain constant ).

2. Volume and pressure are inversely proportional : If the pressure applied to a gas is doubled, its volume will be halved as pressure increased by a factor of two, then the volume decreases by a factor of two. These two variables move and change in precise opposite directions.

BOYLE'S LAW APPLIES TO ALL GASES OR MIXTURES OF GASES ,

for a given quantity of gas at constant temeperature.

Example exercises :

1. A tire with a volume of 11.4L reads 44psi of pressure on the tire gauge. What is the new tire pressure if you compress the tire and its new volume to 10.6L?

2. A syringe is filled with air to 60mL at 1 atmosphere. Then the syringe is sealed and compressed to 20mL. What is its final pressure?

3. A fixed quantity of Oxygen gas O2 is held at a constant temperature and occupies 545mL at 1250mmHg. What is the volume it will take at 1650mmHg?
