Boyle's law states that for a fixed mass, pressure is inversely proportional to volume provided that temperature is kept constant.

Answer:

b. pressure and volume

Step-by-step explanation:

According to boyle's law, which two quantities are inversely proportional?

a. time and pressure

b. pressure and volume

c. volume and temperature

d. pressure and temperature

boyle's law states tat tat tr pressure on a fixed mass of as is inversely proportional to te volume provided tat temperature is kept constant.

mathematically

p
\alpha1/V

P=1/VK.................1

K=PV

comparing between two ratios

P1V1=P2V2

therefore non of the option , except b typifies the boyles law

b. pressure and volume

from equation 1, we can conclude tat as pressure increases, volume decreases. As pressure decreases ,volume increases
