2. Boyle’s Law
P1V1=P2V2
Thislaw relates the pressure and volume
of a gas at a specific temperature
Pressure and volume are inversely related
3. Boyle’s Law in Hairspray
The volume of a can of hairspray is 0.296
liters (10 oz.) with a pressure of 2.5 atm. If
the volume is increased to 0.444 liters (15
oz.), what is the volume?
P1= 2.500 atm
V1= 0.296 L
P2= ?
V2= 0.444 L
4. Answer
The new pressure is 1.667 atm
Thisis because since the volume
increased, the pressure decreased
because the relationship of pressure and
volume is inversely related
