Chapter 11, Problem 6E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relation between the volume of a gas and its pressure is be explained.

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