Boyle's Law

Boyle's Law was made by this guy named Robert Boyle. Boyle put mercury into a J-Tube and played around with different amounts of pressure and he noticed that as he increased the pressure the volume decreased. This is an inverse relationship, one thing is going up making the other thing go down. Boyle tried to find a mathematical relationship between pressure and the volume of a gas. He found that pressure times volume equals a constant. From this we get the formula P1*V1=K. *yawns* . This all may seem super boring it is super important.

Why is this so important?

Boyle's Law is one of the few things you learn in school that you actually can see and/or use in real life. You see examples of Boyle's Law when you deep sea dive. When you resurface after deep sea diving the close you get to the surface the bigger the bubbles you exhale are. This is because the pressure of the water on you decreases so the volume of the bubbles increases. That is Boyle's law. 

Boyle's law also explains things like why your ears pop when flying in an airplane and why if you bring a deep sea fish to the surface it dies.
