Which law was formulated in 1662 and concluded that the product of pressure and volume remains almost constant?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Boyle's Law
- The law that was formulated in 1662 and concluded that the product of pressure and volume remains almost constant is known as Boyle's Law.
- It was named after the Irish physicist and chemist Robert Boyle, who conducted experiments on the relationship between the pressure and volume of gases.
- Boyle's Law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional to each other, meaning that if you increase the pressure on a gas, its volume will decrease, and vice versa, as long as the temperature remains constant.
- This law is one of the fundamental principles of gas behavior.
