Answer:

Boyle's Law

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple Boyle's law at work in this scenario.

Boyle's law is one of the gas law and it states that "The volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if temperature is constant".

This law was proposed by Robert Boyle.

  • In a sealed syringe, the volume of gas begins to decrease as the plunger is pressed.
  • Conversely, it becomes harder to press due to increasing pressure in the tube.
  • The pressure pushes back the more it is applied.
  • We can see that the higher pressure applied, the lower the volume of the gas.

This is clear cut practical of the Boyle's law.
