Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when the temperature is held constant.

What is the definition of pressure in the context of gases?

Back

Pressure is the force exerted by gas particles colliding with the walls of their container.
