Chapter 11, Problem 55E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure of the sample of a gas for a constant volume is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Combined gas law states that volume is inversely proportional to pressure $\left(V\propto \frac{1}{P}\right)$ and directly proportional to temperature $\left(V\propto T\right)$.

Here, $P$ is pressure, $V$ is volume, $T$ is temperature.

Expression of this law is:

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

Or,

$\frac{PV}{T}=\text{constant}$

Combined gas law can be applied when the amount of gas is constant.
