Chapter 10, Problem 10.49SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect on the volume of gas kept in a cylinder when the temperature in kelvin is reduced to half 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 volume of gas kept in a cylinder when the amount of gas is increased to one-fourth while temperature and pressure 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:
