Boyle's Law(Statement,Equation,Limitations)

Boyle's Law(Statement,Equation,Limitations)

Statement:

For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases).

The mathematical equation for Boyle's law is:
\qquad\qquad pV = k
where:
p denotes the pressure of the system.
V denotes the volume of the gas.
k is a constant value representative of the pressure and volume of the system.
Limitations:
So long as temperature remains constant the same amount of energy given to the system persists throughout its operation and therefore, theoretically, the value of k will remain constant.     Pressure Vs Volume Graph
