Chapter 11, Problem 124E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A picture that shows the effect of reduced volume and increased temperature is to be drawn and the change incurred in pressure is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: According to the Boyle’s law, volume is inversely related with the pressure. It can be expressed as:

$V\propto \frac{1}{P}$

Here, $V$ is the volume and $P$ is the pressure.

Volume is inversely related with pressure which means when volume decreases, pressure increases.

According to the combined gas law, the relation between volume $\left(V\right)$, pressure $\left(P\right)$ and temperature $\left(T\right)$ is:

$\frac{P_1{V}_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2{V}_2}{T_2}$
