Chapter 5, Problem 32Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The final diagram and the final pressure in each case have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law: For a given mass of a gas at constant temperature, the pressure (P) is inversely proportional to its volume (V). The Boyle’s law can be expressed as,

$\text{P=(nRT)}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}$

                                                               Where $\text{nRT=constant}$

It can also be given as,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Pα}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}\\ \\ \text{PV=constant}\end{array}$
