Background Boyle's Law describes the relationship between pressure and volume when the temperature is kept constant. Bolye's Law states that the pressure and volume will be in inverse proportion. If one increases the other will decrease by the same factor. An indirect proportion relationship should appear as an exponential curve with x's power being -1 (y = mx^-1) on a graph comparing the two variables. The -1 power on the x could be represented by moving it to the denominator of a fraction representing the right side of the equation or y = m/x as corresponds to P = k/V. Moving the P & V to the same side of the equation allows Boyle's Law to be represented with the formula: P1*V1 = constant = P2*V2. This formula shows that the variables will have the same product after a change in the variables (2) as before the change (1). Part 1: Instructions 1. Lock the Temperature (T) by clicking the "circle" in front of Temperature in the settings. This will keep the temperature constant. 2. Record your starting settings in the data table below. You will record the starting values for Volume and Pressure. You do not need to include the units, just the numbers. 3. Adjust the size of your box by dragging the handle on the left to make the box smaller. 4. Record the new Volume and Pressure in the next row on the Data Table. (The pressure will fluxuate, try your best to pick a good value). 5. You will continue adjusting the size of your box and record the Volume & Pressures each time into the remaining rows on the data table.
