Chapter 10.2, Problem 1PPA

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of a sample of gas is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

According to Boyle’s Law “At a constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of a gas is inverselyproportional to the applied pressure.”

The expressionforBoyle’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.
