Chapter 5, Problem 138AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Processes that can lead to double the pressure exerted should be identified.

Concept introduction: The formula to calculate density is as follows:

  $\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

Expression for Boyle’s law is as follows:

  $PV=k$

Where,

• $k$ is constant.

Expression for Charles’s law is as follows:

  $V=bT$

Where,

• $b$ is constant.

Expression for Avogadro’s law is as follows:

  $V=an$

Where,

• $a$ is constant.

Volume is inversely related to pressure and directly related to temperature and moles; this can be formulated as follows:

  $V=k\text{'}\frac{nT}{P}$

Rearrange to obtain expression of $P$ .

  $P=k\text{'}\frac{nT}{V}$

‘Where,

• $k\text{'}$ is constant.
