What does Boyle's Law describe?

Boyle's Law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas. Specifically, this law states that for a given amount of gas at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This means that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa, as long as the temperature remains unchanged. The mathematical representation of Boyle's Law is expressed as (P_1V_1 = P_2V_2), where (P) is pressure and (V) is volume.

The other choices address different physical laws: the relationship between temperature and pressure pertains to Gay-Lussac's Law, while mass and acceleration are related through Newton's Second Law of Motion. The relationship between force and mass relates to Newton's Second Law as well, where force equals mass times acceleration ((F = ma)). Thus, the focus of Boyle's Law on pressure and volume is what sets it apart in this context.
