Question

At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas doubles when the pressure is reduced to half of its original value. This is a statement of which gas law?

Boyle’s law
Charles’s law
Gay-Lussac’s law
combined gas law

Answer 1

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of a dry gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. Most gases behave like ideal gases at moderate pressures and temperatures. The technology of the 17th century could not produce very high pressures or very low temperatures.
