Boyle's law can be expressed mathematically as
V \(\alpha\) T (P constant)
P \(\alpha\) V (T constant)
P \(\alpha\) T
V \(\alpha\) 1 / p(T constant)
V1/T1 = / T2
Explanation
The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain
