Answer:
In Boyle’s law the volume of a gas increases when the pressure decreases.
Explanation:
Boyle’s law states that at fixed mass of gas, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the gas pressure, provided temperature remain constant.
Mathematically it be expressed as;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
As the volume of a gas increases, the pressure decreases, or as the volume of the gas decreases, the pressure of the gas increases.
Therefore, in Boyle’s law the volume of a gas increases when the pressure decreases.
