Chapter 10, Problem 46RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume occupied by the gas at the given pressure is to be calculated.

Concept Information:

The relation between pressure and volume of the gas is determined by Boyle’s law.

According to Boyle’s law, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume and the product of pressure and volume of a gas is constant.

The relation between initial and final pressures of a gas is given by the following expression:

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

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