Hypothesis:
In investigating Boyle's Law, it is hypothesized that at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. This can be expressed mathematically as P1V1 = P2V2, where P represents pressure and V represents volume. Therefore, as the pressure exerted on a gas increases, the volume it occupies will decrease, and conversely, if the pressure decreases, the volume will increase, provided that the temperature and the amount of gas remain constant.
In a practical investigation, we expect to observe that if we systematically increase the pressure on a gas within a closed system, the corresponding volume measurement will decrease in a manner that supports the inverse relationship described by Boyle's Law.
