Question

1. State Boyle’s Law 
2. 300cm³ of a gas at 800mm Hg was compressed to 200mm Hg pressure at constant temperature. Determine the new volume 

Answer 1

1. The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided the temperature remains constant.
2. P₁V₁ =P₂V₂
   V₂ = 800 × 300
               200
        =1200cm³

Answer 2

it states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversly propotional to the pressure provided the temp is kept constant
