Boyles Law

Name:
Boyles Law
Detailed information:
The volume of a sample of gas varies inversely with the pressure if the temperature remains constant. The relation is strictly true only for a perfect or ideal gas, but the law is satisfactory for practical calculations except when pressures are high or temperatures are approaching the liquefaction point. The van der Waals equation is a refinement that is adequate over a wider range.See Ideal Gas.
