Chapter 10, Problem 152AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total pressure inside the drum, after the accidentis to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s law can be stated as “A gas, for a constant value of temperature, has a constant value for the product of pressure and volume.”

The expression of Boyle’s law can be represented as

$P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2$

Here, $P_1$ is the initial pressure, $P_2$ is the final pressure, $V_1$ is the initial volume, and $V_2$ is the final volume.
