Pressure versus volume of air at a constant temperature as collected by Robert Boyle. Units are arbitrary.
BoyleA data frame with 7 rows and numerical variables pressure and volume.
Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was a founder of modern chemistry
and the scientific method in general. As any chemistry student already knows,
Boyle sought to understand the properties of gasses.
His results are summarized in Boyle's Law.
The data frame Boyle contains two variables from one of Boyle's
experiments as reported in his lab notebook: pressure in a bag of
air and volume of the bag. The units of pressure are mmHg and the units of
volume are cubic inches.
