OCR: "HIS GAS LAW was formulated by the British chemist Robert Boyle 1627 91 It explains how the pressure of gas is related to its yolume when the gas is constant tem perature The pressure of the gas (the force that gas particles exert given area) increases when the volume and decreases when the volume is increased Another way of saying this that the pressure and the volume are inversely proportional to each other This relation ship can be represented on graph pressure plotted against divided by volume Pressure 1/Volume V straight line passes through the origin at point 0,0, showing that the increase pressure inversely proportional to the increase in volume This can be written as the formula P1N reduced formul
