Chapter 11.6, Problem 11.49QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect on the volume of a bicycle tire or a basketball caused by using an air pump to add air should be explained.

Concept introduction:

► As per Avagadro’s law, volume of a gas (V) is directly related to the amount of gas (n):

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V α n i}\text{.e}\text{. V = k}\times \text{n}\\ \text{where 'k' is the proportionality constant}\\ (\text{or})\frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{n}}_{\text{1}}}\text{ = }\frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{n}}_{\text{2}}}-----(1)\\ {\text{where V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{ and V}}_{\text{2}}\text{ are the initial and final volume}\\ {\text{n}}_{\text{1}}{\text{ and n}}_{\text{2}}\text{ are the initial and final amount of gas}\end{array}$
