What is Boyle's Law ?
Boyle’s Law states that
the pressure of an ideal
gas is inversely
proportional to the
volume it occupies if the
number of gas particles
and the temperature are
constant.
 Robert Boyle
(1627-1691)
Boyle discovered the relationship
between pressure and volume in a gas that
is now known as Boyle's law by using a
vacuum chamber to change the pressure in
a gas. He made careful observations and
conducted a series of experiments to show
that pressure and volume are inversely
proportional to each other.

When the volume of the chamber decreases but the number of gas particles remains constant,
there is an increase in the concentration (number of particles per liter) of the gas. This leads to an
increase in the number of particles near any given area of the container walls at any time and to an
increase in the number of collisions against the walls per unit area in a given time. More collisions
mean an increase in the force per unit area, or pressure, of the gas

Pressure-Volume Relationship in

The breathing processes
Scuba diving
A scuba diving equipment
provides air pressure equal to the
surrounding water pressure. This
allows the diver’s lungs to function
at their normal volume, although at
higher pressure.
The breathing processes
As air flows into the lungs (inhalation),
the pressure in the lungs become equal to the
pressure of the atmosphere, and as a result, the
lungs expand. In the exhalation phase, the lungs
decrease in volume, making the pressure of air
in the lungs greater than the pressure of air in
the atmosphere.
