 4.4.1 Boyle’s Law

 Boyle’s Law states that for a fixed mass of gas, the

pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its
volume when the temperature is kept constant.

 That is PV = constant or =

 When the volume of a gas is reduced, the pressure

of the gas increases.

APPLICATION OF BOYLE’S LAW

 The oxygen cooled under

high pressure so that the
volume of the oxygen can
be reduced.
 Due to the high pressure
in the tank, the tank is
made of metals which are
hard and thick.


Charles’ law states that for a fixed mass of gass, the
volume of the gas is directly proportional to its
absolute temperature when its pressure is kept
constant.


The pressures law states that for a fixed mass of
