==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
[[Boyleโ€™s Law]] states that for a fixed [[mass]] of [[gas]] at constant [[temperature]], the product of its [[pressure]] and [[volume]] is constant.

===About Boyle's Law===

*Expressed mathematically as ๐‘ƒร—๐‘‰=constant
*Describes the inverse relationship between the [[pressure]] and [[volume]] of a [[gas]].
*Assumes [[Ideal Gas|ideal gas]] behaviour.
*Applicable in various real-world scenarios such as breathing and syringes.

===Formula===

๐‘ƒร—๐‘‰=constant

Where:

๐‘ƒ is pressure

and

๐‘‰ is volume



===Examples===

*Compressing a [[gas]] in a piston decreases its [[volume]] and increases its [[pressure]].
*In scuba diving, the [[pressure]] of air in tanks decreases as the diver uses the air and the [[volume]] increases.
