Unknown Story

I used a J-shaped container and trapped gas on one end by pouring mercury. I observed and experimented a lot of times. I made a whole apparatus with my assistant!
Hello everyone! Today, we talk about Boyle's law. I am Robert Boyle, the man himself. The law was named after me.
Actually, there were 2 other scientists that theorized the same relationship between pressure and volume but I was the one who proved it!
P1V1 = P2V2PV = k
Boyle's law basically says that pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional. That means when one decreases, the other increases.
The equation for this is PV = k. k is for the constant temperature, P is for pressure, and V as you can guess, is for volume!
For the initial and final pressures and volumes, we use the equation P1V1 = P2V2. P1 and V1 being initial values and P2 and V2 being final.
To be exact, the statement is:  For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
This has several applications. One of the more famous one is the breathing of a human body. Air pressure decreases as lung volume increases and vice versa
That is it for now! Till next time.
Aside from that, it is also applied in tires, hot air balloons, and so many more!
