Chapter 5, Problem 5.16QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Boyle’s law in terms kinetic theory has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law:

According to Boyle’s law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at a given temperature.

$\text{PV = constant}$(At a constant temperature) $\left(1\right)$

      Or

   $\text{V α }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{P}}$

Where,

P = Pressure

 V = Volume.
