In Boyle's law, the relationship between pressure and volume is?
Correct answer: B. Inversely proportional
- A. Directly proportional
- B. Inversely proportional
- C. Constant
- D. None of these are correct
Explanation
PV=nRT is the overall ideal gas equation derived from Boyle's and Charle's law. Hence, according to the equation, T is directly proportional to volume, while keeping other conditions constant and V is inversely proportional to the pressure according to the ideal gas equation.

About Boyle's Law
Boyle's law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with its volume when temperature remains constant. Problems use the relationship P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, pressure-volume graphs and volume changes, with constant temperature distinguishing it from Charles's law.
