Introduction to Boyle’s Law

Robert Boyle was a 17th century scientist who discovered that the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas in a closed system are inversely proportional. The course will teach you what Boyle’s Law is, then take you through an exercise, showing you how to use Boyle’s Law to work out the pressure in a closed system. There are also questions throughout the course to confirm your learning. It ends with a final problem for you to work out using Boyle’s Law.

Approximate duration: 25 minutes.

The aim of this course is to teach you about the following subjects:

• Robert Boyle and Boyle’s Law
• Principles of Gasses
• Using Boyle’s Law in a Closed System
