...to 2, 3, 4, etc. This simple relation holds good within certain limits only, because Mariotte's law, that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is subjected, upon which this relation is based, has been shown to be correct for all gases... | |

...first, it is to be remembered that this is more or less customary. The beginner learns for example that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to find later that this holds only for restricted domains of a comparatively few gases. The translation... | |

...and 23. This will now be attempted in as simple a manner as possible 1 . It has been found (§ 22) that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure to which it is exposed; and we have seen that in order to reconcile Dalton's numbers, Avogadro's hypothesis,... | |

Boyle discovered that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure if the temperature is constant.
