Chapter 5, Problem 141CWP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: From the given processes, which of the process would double the pressure should be determined.

Concept introduction:

By combining the three gaseous laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles’s law and Avogadro’s law a combined gaseous equation is obtained. This combined gaseous equation is called Ideal gas law.

According to ideal gas law,

$\text{PV=nRT}$

Where,

P = pressure in atmospheres

V= volumes in liters

n = number of moles

R =universal gas constant ( $\text{0}\text{.08206L×atm/K×mol}$)

T = temperature in kelvins

By knowing any three of these properties, the state of a gas can be simply identified,

Pressure of the gas can be determined by,

$P=\frac{nRT}{V}$
