Chapter 10, Problem 6PS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of a gas in the new flask should be calculated, the initial volume and pressures are given.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law:

At fixed temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{P}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}\left(\text{n}\text{,}\text{t}\text{will}\text{be}\text{constant}\right)\\ \text{pv}\text{=}\text{constant}\\ {\text{p}}_{\text{1}}{\text{v}}_{\text{1}}\text{=}{\text{p}}_{\text{2}}{\text{v}}_{\text{2}}\end{array}$
