What is a mathematical statement of the elationship between pressure and volume?

P = 1/V
P1V1 = P2V2
PV = constant
These are all expressions of Boyle's Law: The volume of a gas is inversely related to the pressure of that gas.

Boyle's Law states that: "The volume of a given mass of gas is Inversely Proportional to its Absolute Pressure at Constant Temperature".
Pressure increase âVolume decrease.
Volume increase â Pressure decrease.
P1/P2 = V2/V1... cross multiply to give: -
Relationship: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
