Boyle is a chemist and physicist and also an inventor. Although he suffered from a serious disease that affected his eyes permanently, he overcame his disability and hired some people to write his thoughts. Boyle became the first to put the foundation stone in gases laws and to discover a law that reflected the behavior of gases. He discovered a breakthrough in physics which then became called Boyle's law. He was also one of the founders of modern chemistry. What is strange is that he did not officially attend any university. Boyle was so rich that he did all his research at his own expense. Despite his achievements in physics, his favorite subject was chemistry.

How did Boyle discover the first law of gases - (Boyle's law)?

In 1654, the German physicist Otto von Gerecke invented the first evacuated tube. When Boyle learned about it, he discussed this invention with his friend Robert Hook. Hook worked on improving this vacuum tube, then Boyle and Hook began to discover air and vacuum properties using this tube. While Boyle and Hook were doing their experiments, they discovered the greatest discovery of their lives, now called Boyle’s law. They changed the pressure on a fixed weight of air using mercury. Boyle discovered that the greater the pressure on the air, the smaller the volume.

What is Boyle’s law and what is its significance?

When the pressure changes on a certain amount of gas, its size is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided that the temperature is constant. The law is described by the mathematical equation PV = K. It has become a basic law in chemistry.
