Boyle's Law

So in our last unit of the school year we are learning about gas laws. The first gas law that we talked about in this unit is Boyle's law. In this gas law the temperature is kept at a constant. Therefore the pressure of a gas varys as well as the pressure. The rule of thumb is that as the pressure of the gas goes up the volume of the container goes down. The reason why this happens is the gas particles have less room to move therefore hitting the side of the container more often which increases the pressure. The standard formula for Boyle's law is P1(v1)=P2(v2).
