Chapter 10, Problem 10.31CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium pressure above the liquid when the volume of space is decreased from $\text{200}\text{ml}\text{to}\text{100}\text{ml}$ at constant temperature has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law is one of the gas laws, states that for a known mass of gas at steady temperature, the pressure (P) is inversely proportional to its volume (V). The Boyle’s law can be expressed as,

$\text{P=(nRT)}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}$

Where $\text{nRT=constant}$

For two different sets of condition, the equation can be written as

${\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}\text{=}{\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}$
