  1. Question 1

    Q1. Boyle's law states that at constant temperature the pressure of a gas is:

    • A) Directly proportional to its volume
    • B) Inversely proportional to its volume
    • C) Independent of its volume
    • D) Proportional to the square of its volume

    Answer: Inversely proportional to its volume

    Explanation: Boyle's law holds that P x V stays constant when temperature is fixed, so pressure falls as volume rises. Direct proportionality would mean pressure grows with volume, which Boyle's experiments disprove.
