Yes, according to the lab reference, pressure and volume of a gas are related. This relationship is described by Boyle's Law, which states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In other words, as the volume of a gas decreases, its pressure increases, and vice versa. This relationship can be observed when conducting experiments like the lab, where different volumes of gas are trapped in a flexible container (syringe) and the pressure is measured. When the volume of the gas is decreased by pushing the plunger of the syringe, the pressure inside the syringe increases. Conversely, when the volume is increased by pulling the plunger, the pressure decreases. This inverse relationship between pressure and volume is consistent with Boyle's Law.
