Which of the following term is constant in Boyle's law?
Correct answer: B. Temperature
- A. Pressure
- B. Temperature
- C. Volume
- D. Density
Explanation
Boyle's Law is a basic law in chemistry describing the behavior of a gas held at a constant temperature. It tells us that the volume of gas increases as the pressure decreases.

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.
