Chapter 11, Problem 11.150QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The hot air rises explain using kinetic theory of gases.

Concept Introduction:

Kinetic Molecular Theory can be used to explain Boyle's Law.  The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature only.

Boyle’s law states that the volume of a sample of a gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V=}{\text{k}}_{\text{1}}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{P}}\text{(or)}\\ {\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{= P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{at constant temperature}\right)\end{array}$
