Chapter 11, Problem 11.38QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The changes that happens has to be matched with the image given in the problem statement.

• The pressure on the piston is tripled at constant $\text{n and T}$
• The absolute temperature is doubled at constant $\text{ n}\text{and}\text{P}$
• $\text{n}$ more moles of the gas are added at constant $\text{T}\text{and}\text{P}$
• Absolute temperature is halved at constant

Concept Introduction:

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

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