AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that Robert Boyle found that the pressure and the volume of an ideal gas are inversely related at constant temperature in 1662?
Yes. Historical and scientific evidence uniformly supports the claim that Robert Boyle established the inverse relationship between pressure and volume for a gas at constant temperature in 1662.
