Boyle’s law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the
a. temperature and number of particles are constant.
b. temperature reaches absolute zero.
c. number of particles decreases.
d. temperature and number of particles are doubled

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature if the temperature and the number of particles are constant.

Further ExplanationBoyles’s law  This gas law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature.Therefore, when the volume of an ideal gas is increased at constant temperature then the pressure of the gas will also increase.Mathematically;  Volume α 1/Pressure

                               Vα1/P

Therefore, constant k, is = PVOther gas LawsGay-Lussac’s law  It states that at constant volume, the pressure of an ideal gas I directly proportional to its absolute temperature.Thus, an increase in pressure of an ideal gas at constant volume will result to an increase in the absolute temperature.Charles’s lawIt states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature at constant pressure.Therefore, an increase in volume of an ideal gas causes a corresponding increase in its absolute temperature and vice versa while the pressure is held constant.Dalton’s law  It is also known as the Dalton’s law of partial pressure. It states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is always equivalent to the total sum of the partial pressures of individual component gases.Partial pressure refers to the pressure of an individual gas if it occupies the same volume as the mixture of gases.
