It tells us that the relationship between pressure and volume is inverse.
It holds a constant temperature and only deals with pressure and volume.
But, the only gas that holds strictly to this relationship is an ideal gas at low pressures.
The mathematical formula for this law is P1V1 = P2V2
Marie, thanks for the helpful post! I like how you clarified that this law only applies to an ideal gas at low temperatures because it did not know that. In addition, the picture you posted was very helpful, as it shows how collisions increase as the volume of a gas decreases.
