Chapter 10.2, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The figure after increase in pressureat constant temperature, is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s Law isan ideal gas law, which states that the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its absolute pressure at a constant temperature. The law applies only to ideal gases which allow only pressure and volume to change. Boyle’s law can be stated as: For a gas, at a constant value of temperature, the product of pressure and volume is constant.

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.
