Chapter 13.2, Problem 13.2SC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of neon gas should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The volume of neon gas in this case can be determined using Boyle’s law.

Boyle’s law is an experimental gas law states that pressure has inverse relation with volume and it is expressed as:

$\begin{array}{l}\text{P}\propto \frac{1}{\text{V}}\\ \text{o}\text{r},\text{PV=constant}\end{array}$

Where, P is the pressure of the gas

And V is the V is the volume of the gas

The law states that the multiplication of pressure and volume is constant for a given mass of gas at constant temperature. Now, for two dissimilar conditions sets for comparison of same substance, the law can be usefully expressed as:

${\text{P}}_1{\text{V}}_1={\text{P}}_2{\text{V}}_2$.
