How Do Boyle's Law and Pressure Change Affect Everyday Gas Behavior?

Boyle's Law says that when you have a certain amount of gas and the temperature stays the same, pressure and volume change in opposite ways.

Here’s what that means:

  • When Volume Decreases: If you squeeze a balloon and make it smaller, the pressure inside the balloon goes up.

  • When Volume Increases: If you let some air out of the balloon, it gets bigger, and the pressure goes down.

This idea helps us understand things we see every day, like when you pump air into a tire. When the volume gets smaller by adding air, the pressure goes up, making the tire strong and ready to use!
