Boyle’s law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature and number of particles are constant. Boyle's law only deals with volume and pressure of a gas, therefore the variables such as temperature and number of particles must be constant. Hence, Boyle's law can be represented in the formula,
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = Initial Presure
V1 = Initial Volume
P2 = Final Pressure
V2 = Final Volume
Final answer:
A. temperature and number of particles are constant.
