Boyle's Law / بويل القانون

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Example / Beispiel

Gas: 4L at 2 atm → pressure increases to 4 atm → V₂?

2 × 4 = 4 × V₂ V₂ = 2 L

Solving Variables

  • P₂ = P₁V₁ ÷ V₂
  • V₂ = P₁V₁ ÷ P₂
  • P₁ = P₂V₂ ÷ V₁
  • V₁ = P₂V₂ ÷ P₁

Applications

  • Scuba diving
  • Medical syringes
  • Air compressors
  • Lung breathing

Condition

Valid for ideal gases at constant temperature (isothermal process).
