Boyle's law, also known as Mariotte's law, states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, as long as the temperature and the amount of gas remain constant. This law is commonly expressed as P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume. In other words, if the pressure of a gas doubles, its volume will be halved, and vice versa, as long as the temperature and the amount of gas are held constant. This law is fundamental in understanding the behavior of gases and is used in many fields, including chemistry, physics, and engineering.
