which statement is a description of boyles law?\n○ the temperature and volume of a gas are directly proportional when pressure is constant.\n○ the temperature and volume of a gas are inversely proportional when pressure is constant.\n○ the volume and pressure of a gas are directly proportional when temperature is constant.\n○ the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Boyle's law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of the gas are inversely proportional. Let's analyze each option:
- First option: Relates temperature and volume (Charles's law - directly proportional at constant pressure), not Boyle's.
- Second option: Incorrect relation (inverse for temp - volume at constant pressure is not Boyle's; Boyle's is about pressure - volume at constant temp).
- Third option: Boyle's law is inverse, not direct, between pressure and volume at constant temp.
- Fourth option: Matches Boyle's law definition: volume and pressure are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.
