 The relationship between the pressure and the volume

All gas particles of a substance are continually, moving and bouncing around a container
(if it is sealed into one), since they are filled with kinetic energy. This is the base of the
experiment done in class because, we were measuring and determining the relationship
between pressure and volume.
Gas particles are constantly bouncing around into themselves and the surroundings,
when this particles bump they create gas pressure. Gas pressure is the overall force of
the container it is confined in.
When we did our experiment, we were gradually decreasing the overall volume inside
the syringe, this caused the gas particles to become more cramped and increase the
amount of how much they bumped around, both into themselves and their
surroundings. This relationship was first developed by the scientist Robert Boyle around
1660, his law is therefore known as Boyle´s law.
In our experiment we were decreasing 10 ml of “space” each time we recorded our data.
Each time we were decreasing the volume the total pressure seemed to increase by
variating amounts, sometimes the pressure increased by 50hPa and sometimes the
pressure increased by 850hPa.
We recorded the information (after decreasing the volume by 10ml, nine times and
recording the data collected) and made a table showing the collected values and all the
variation in the increasing pressure due to the decreasing volume.
We later used the information in the table to make a graph. In this graph we added a
line of tendency to show the relation in all of the shown valued (the increasing pressure
due to the decreasing volume).
After finishing all of this we decided to add the equation for the graph, and the value of
´R´ squared (which was meant to be as closer as the value 1 as possible, for my graph I
got the value 0.9996, pretty close to 1)

This experiment showed the relation between a

decreasing factor and an increasing factor, this factors
were of course the total volume of the syringe (the
decreasing factor) and the total pressure exerted by the
syringe due to the decreasing volume (the increasing
factor).
This can be explained by the equation shown on the left,
were the factors are put as if it were an algebraic equation
