The relationship between the pressure and volume of gases is given by ______________ law.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the relationship between pressure and volume of gases and attributes it to a named gas law.
Because the provided answer choices are not present, we cannot review each option individually; there is no list to evaluate for correctness or misinterpretation.
In standard gas law relationships, the P-V relationship at constant temperature and amount of gas is described by Boyle's law, which states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume (P ∝ 1/V) when temperature and quantity of gas are kept constant. In other words, if you compress a gas to a smaller volume while keeping temperature and moles the same, the pressure increases reciprocally.
Common misunderstandings to watch for include confusing this with Charles's law (which describes a direct relationship between volume and temperature at constant pressure), Gay-Lussac's law (pressure vs. temperature at constant volume), or Avogadro's law (volume proportional to number of particles at fixed V, P, T). These other laws describe different conditions and different relationships, not the inverse P-V relationship specified in Boyle's law.
If you are given options, you would assess each in the context of the conditions (constant T and n for Boyle's law). The option that correctly states that pressure varies inversely with volume under those conditions would be the accurate choice. In the absence of options here, the standard, widely accepted relation for P and V under constant temperature and amount is Boyle's law.
