Chapter 5, Problem 4ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The change in temperature and volume at a constant pressure in a container with a piston has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Charles’s law: At constant pressure (P), for a given mass of gas, the volume (V) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T). The expression for Charles’s law is given by,

$\text{V=}\left(\frac{\text{nR}}{\text{P}}\right)\text{T}$

Where $\left(\frac{\text{nR}}{\text{P}}\right)\text{=constant}$
