Chapter 11, Problem 1SC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure is to be identified in atm from the give options.

Concept introduction:

According to Boyle's Law, the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its absolute pressure, when the temperature is constant. This can be expressed as:

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

Here ${\text{P}}_{\text{1}}$ and ${\text{V}}_{\text{1}}$ are the initial values of pressure and volume and ${\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{ and V}}_{\text{2}}$ are the final values of pressure and volume of the gas.
