Question

Watch the video to determine which of the following relationships correctly depict the relationship between pressure and volume for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature according to Boyle’s law. Check all that apply.

a. PV∝P
b. P∝1V
c. PV∝V
d. V∝P
e. V∝1P
f. P∝V

Answer 1

Answer :
`P\propto (1)/(V)` and
`V\propto (1)/(P)`

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's law, it states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas for a fixed amount of gas and at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

where,

`P_1\text{ and }V_1` are initial pressure and volume.

`P_2\text{ and }V_2` are final pressure and volume.

Thus the correct relation for pressure and volume for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature according to Boyle’s law is
`P\propto (1)/(V)` and
`V\propto (1)/(P)`
