To find:
The effect of the following conditions on the volume of the gas in a cylinder with a movable piston:
a) Both the absolute temperature and the external pressure on the piston are doubled.
b) The absolute temperature is halved, and the external pressure on the piston is doubled.
c) The absolute temperature is increased by

Answer to Problem 10.59QA
Solution:
a) There would be no change in the volume when both the absolute temperature and the external pressure on the piston are doubled.
b) When the absolute temperature is halved and the external pressure on the piston doubled, then the volume of the gas decreases to the
c) When the absolute temperature increased by
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
To find the change in the volume of gas, we have to apply the combined
2) Formula:
The combined gas law is
3) Given:
i) Absolute temperature
ii) Absolute temperature
iii)
4) Calculations:
a) The change in the volume by doubling the absolute temperature and the external pressure,
Inserting,
The final volume is the same as initial volume. Therefore, there is no change in volume.
b) When the absolute temperature is halved and the external pressure on the piston is doubled, the change in the volume would be
Inserting
The volume of gas decreases to the
c) The absolute temperature is increased by
We can assume the
and the external pressure by
Applying the combined gas law,
We can write this equation by considering the initial volume as
So, the percent increase in the volume would be
Conclusion:
We have estimated the change in the volume of the gas in a cylinder with the movable piston for the three conditions by using the combined gas law.
