Interpretation: The volume of the gas is to be calculated to know whether the piston will move up or down.
Concept introduction:
The ideal gas equation helps to calculate the volume of a gas at a given temperature and pressure. According to this law,
Where,
Answer to Problem 13PP
The piston will move down.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The initial pressure of the gas
The initial volume of the gas
The initial temperature of the gas
The final pressure of the gas
The final temperature of the gas
The ideal gas equation helps to calculate the volume of a gas at a given temperature and pressure. According to this law,
Or
Where
Now converting the Celsius into kelvin.
Now substituting the values into the formula,
Therefore, the volume of the gas is reduced to
As the volume of gas is reduced to
