Boyle's Law States That the Volume of a Gas Varies

Question

Boyle's law states that the volume of a gas varies _____ with pressure at a _____ temperature.
A)directly; constant
B)inversely; constant
C)directly; constantly changing
D)inversely; constantly changing

Accepted Answer

Boyle's law states that the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure at a constant temperature. This means that as pressure increases, the volume of the gas decreases, and as pressure decreases, the volume increases, as long as the temperature remains constant.
