Chapter 5, Problem 5.159QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The hot air rises explain using kinetic theory of gases.

Concept Introduction:

KineticMolecularTheorycan be used to explain Boyle's Law. The average kinetic energyof a collection of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature only.

Boyle’s law states that the volume of a sample of a gas at constant temperature is inverselyproportional to pressure

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{V=}{\text{k}}_{\text{1}}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{P}}\text{(or)}\\ {\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{= P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{at constant temperature}\right)\end{array}$
