Boyle's Law

The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.

Boyle's law says that the product of the initial pressure and volume equals the product of the final presure and volume.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["P", "1"], "Pressure"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["V", "1"], "Volume"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["P", "2"], "Pressure"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["V", "2"], "Volume"]

symbol description physical quantity
P1 initial pressure "Pressure"
V1 initial volume "Volume"
P2 final pressure "Pressure"
V2 final volume "Volume"
