Boyle's Law: Boyle’s
law is a gas law which states that the pressure exerted by a gas (of a given
mass, kept at a constant temperature) is inversely proportional to the volume
occupied by it. In other words, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely
proportional to each other as long as the temperature and the quantity of gas
are kept constant. Boyle’s law was put forward by the Anglo-Irish chemist
Robert Boyle in the year 1662.The gas law specifically applies to
the lungs. When a person breathes in, their lung volume increases and the
pressure within decreases. Since air always moves from areas of high pressure
to areas of low pressure, air is drawn into the lungs.
