Gokul, for example, take a liquid at 1 atm pressure, now pressurise the liquid in a container with the help of a piston and u will go on increasing the pressure, the volume keeps on decreasing.
SO as we are increasing a qty. and it is affecting other qty. with the opposite effect so we call it as inversely proportional therefore, P=k/v so p1=k/v1 and p2=k/v2
hence, p1v1=p2v2=k boyles laws mathematical model In a mixture of gases, each gas has a partial pressure which is the hypothetical pressure of that gas if it alone occupied the volume of the mixture at the same temperature. can be termed as partial pressure
