Chapter 15, Problem 28CR

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The final volume of the given sample is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law states that if the temperature and the moles of gas remain constant, then the pressure exerted by the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas in that space. The expression for the same is,

$\text{P}(\text{pressure})\propto \frac{1}{\text{V}(\text{volume})}$ or $\text{P}\text{V}=\text{k}(\text{constant})$.
