...Boyle's or Mariotte's Law, from the names of the discoverers : it states that the volume occupied by any gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to 'which it is subjected. Thus, for instance, the volume I under pressure I becomes the volume 2 under the pressure £, the volume...

...independently of each other the law which- bears their name — Boyle and Mariottds lav.' — " The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected." If, for instance, a litre of gas supports a pressure of i kilogramme, and the pressure be increased...

...combustion tible. Combus. nor Supporter of Com. DEFINITIONS. 2J / Boyle-s Law. The volume occupied by any gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected. Par. 12. Gases Expand at the rate of one volume in 273 for every additional degree of heat according...

...a.smw/atmosphere. Hence, we have what is called Boyle's or Mariettas law that "The volume occupied by any gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected." That is, if the pressure is doubled, the gas will only occupy half the space, if trebled, only one-third...

...few of the laws about gases. There is first Boyle's or Marriotte's law; the volume occupied by any gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected. Next there is this law : The densities of all the elements known in the gaseous state are identical...

...simple relation holds good within certain limits only, because Mariotte's law, that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected, upon which this relation is based, has been shown to be correct for all gases only within a certain...

...principle which I wished to enforce. The principle, in a few words, is this : The volume of a confined mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is exposed : the smaller the pressure the larger the volume, and the greater the pressure the less the...

...altered, the volume of the air is altered too. In the language of science, the volume occupied by a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected. If the pressure be -doubled, the volume of a gas is halved ; if the pressure be -halved, the volume...

...have a constant ratio to one another." And in gases, Boyle's law shows that the volume occupied by any gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected. And this law — the densities of all the elements known in the gaseous state are identical with their...
