Question

g Select True or False: Boyle's Law states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas maintained at constant temperature is directly proportional to the gas pressure

Answer 1

Answer: The given statement is False.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and the number of moles.

Mathematically,

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

OR

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the initial pressure and volume of the gas

$P_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the final pressure and volume of the gas

Hence, the given statement is False.
