Chapter 10, Problem 10.48SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect on the pressure of gas kept in a cylinder when the temperature in kelvin is tripled its initial value should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The combination of all the gas laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles law and Avogadro’s lead to ideal gas equation that relates all the four properties such as given below:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $V$ denotes the volume.
• $n$ denotes number of moles.
• $T$ denotes temperature.
• $P$ denotes pressure.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect on pressure of gas kept in a cylinder when the amount of gas is reduced to one-third while temperature and volume are maintained constant should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The combination of all the gas laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles law and Avogadro’s lead to ideal gas equation that relates all the four properties such as given below:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $V$ denotes the volume.
• $n$ denotes number of moles.
• $T$ denotes temperature.
• $P$ denotes pressure.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The effect on pressure of gas kept in a cylinder when the volume is decreased by $45\text{ \%}$ at constant temperature should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The combination of all the gas laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles law and Avogadro’s lead to ideal gas equation that relates all the four properties such as given below:
