Boyle’s Law: P and VBoyle’s Law: P and V Discovered by Discovered by Irish chemist, Irish chemist, Robert BoyleRobert Boyle
Used a J-shaped Used a J-shaped tube to tube to experiment with experiment with varying varying pressures and pressures and their effects on their effects on the volume of an the volume of an enclosed gas.enclosed gas.

Boyle’s LawBoyle’s Law states that the states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with varies inversely with pressure at a constant pressure at a constant temperature.temperature.
k = VxPk = VxP k is a constant for a certain k is a constant for a certain sample of gas that depends on sample of gas that depends on the mass of the gas and the the mass of the gas and the temperature.temperature.
What kind of graph is V vs. What kind of graph is V vs. P?P?

Consider a 1.53-L sample of gaseous Consider a 1.53-L sample of gaseous SOSO22 at a pressure of 5.6 x 10 at a pressure of 5.6 x 1033 Pa. Pa. If the pressure is changed to 1.5 x If the pressure is changed to 1.5 x 101044 Pa at constant temperature, what Pa at constant temperature, what will be the new volume of the gas?will be the new volume of the gas?
