This empirical relation, formulated by the physicist Robert Boyle in 1662, states that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant. The relationship was also discovered by the French physicist Edme Mariotte (1676).
Who invented Boyles Law?
Every general-chemistry student learns of Robert Boyle (1627–1691) as the person who discovered that the volume of a gas decreases with increasing pressure and vice versa—the famous Boyle’s law. A leading scientist and intellectual of his day, he was a great proponent of the experimental method.
How did Boyle discovered Boyle's Law?
Using Hooke’s pump, Boyle and Hooke carried out experiments to investigate the properties of air and the vacuum, making their first great discovery: Boyle’s Law. They made their discovery using a glass tube similar to the one shown at the top of this page.
