Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the equation PV = C, where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 600 cm3, the pressure is 120 kPa, and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 30 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant? cm3/min

The ideal gas law describes the relationship among the pressure P, volume V, number of moles n, and absolute temperature T of an ideal gas. Here is the relationship expressed mathematically: PV = nRT where R is a proportionality constant. The units of R are determined by the units of pressure and volume used in the equation. When bar used for pressure and L for volume, the appropriate R value is 0.08314 L bar mol-¹ K-¹. Part A How many air molecules are in a 4.05 x 3.66 x 3.05 m³ room?

The van der Waals equation of state was designed (by Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals) to predict the relationship between pressure p, volume V and temperature T for gases better than the Ideal Gas Law does: 2 p+a (V-nb)=nRT The van der Waals equation of state. R stands for the gas constant and n for moles of gas. v? The parameters a and b must be determined for each gas from experimental data. Use the van der Waals equation to answer the questions in the table below. What are the units of a? What are the units of b?
