Chapter 10.2, Problem 3RC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The true statement about the given gas should be determined.

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.

$\text{P}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}\left(\text{n}\text{,}\text{T}\text{will}\text{be}\text{constant}\right)$

Charles’s law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held

At constant pressure and number of molecules,

$\text{V}\propto \text{T}$

General Gas Law: Combining Charles’s law and Boyle’s law we get the General gas law or combined gas law.

$\frac{{\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{1}}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}}$
