What is the definition of Boyle's law? |
|
Definition
At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas varies inversely with abolute pressure, while density varies directly with absolute pressure. All this means is that as pressure increases, volume decreases and vice versa. |

What is the definition of Dalton's law? |
|
Definition
The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures that would be exerted by each of the gases if it alone were present and occupied the total volume. All this means is that as pressure increases, partial pressure increases and vice versa. |
