Which law explains that an increase in volume causes a decrease in pressure?

A) Henry's Law
B) Dalton's Law
C) Charles Law
D) Boyle's Law

Boyle's Law

A gas law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.

Henry's Law

A gas law that states the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid, provided the temperature is constant.

Dalton's Law

A principle stating that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature for a fixed mass, the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely proportional. This means that if the volume increases, the pressure decreases, and vice versa, as long as the temperature and the amount of gas are kept constant.
