Chapter 3, Problem 3B.1BST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Final volume of the container when initial pressure is $1\text{bar}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Pressure and volume of the gas are related by Boyle's law which states that at constant $T$ and $P$, volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the system, when moles of gas are constant. The equation for Boyle's law is as follows:

  $PV=k$

Here,

$V$ is volume occupied by the gas.

$P$ is the pressure of the gas.

$k$ is a constant.
