Boyle's Gas Law

Post by Royal » Tue Mar 27, 2012 7:23 pm

In 1662, Irish Chemist and physicist Robert Boyle studied the relationship between pressure P an the volume V of a gas in a container held at constant pressure.

Boyle observed that the product of the pressure and volume are nearly constant: P x V = C.

A balloon inflated at sea level will expand as it rises in the atmosphere and is subject to decreased pressure.

1962? Was a bit earlier than that, no?

The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662.

Is there an inverse law for typos?
