Meaning
The pressure of an ideal gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the volume.
Classification
Nouns denoting cognitive processes and contents.
Examples
- The scientist used Boyle's Law to calculate the new pressure of the gas after it was compressed to a smaller volume.
- According to Boyle's Law, if the volume of a gas is halved, the pressure will double, assuming the temperature remains constant.
- The teacher explained Boyle's Law to the class, using a diagram to illustrate the inverse relationship between pressure and volume.
- By applying Boyle's Law, the engineer was able to predict the pressure of the gas in the tank after it was expanded to a larger volume.
- Boyle's Law is widely used in chemistry and physics to describe the behavior of ideal gases at constant temperature.
