Question

Boyle's law states that at constant T and n:
  1. A
    PV = constant (P inversely proportional to V)
    Correct
  2. B
    P/V = constant
  3. C
    P/T = constant
  4. D
    V ∝ T

Correct answer

PV = constant (P inversely proportional to V)

Explanation

Boyle's Law: at constant temperature and amount, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. Pressure and volume are inversely proportional: P ∝ 1/V.
