 Similarly, if we diminish the pressure by one-half, the volume will double. This effect was first studied by Robert Boyle (1660) who, by careful measurement, found that the volume which a given mass of a gaseous substance occupies is inversely proportional...

...a gas and the pressure to which it is subjected. It may be stated as follows : The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure under which it is measured, provided the temperature of the gas remains constant. If V represents the volume when subjected to a pressure P and v represents... | |
