Chapter 5, Problem 5.25P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The gas pressure in the second container that has the volume $\text{7}\text{.50}\text{L}$ at $25°\text{C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume $\left(P\propto \frac{\text{1}}{V}\right)$ at constant temperature and number of moles $\left(\text{n}\right)$.

$PV=\text{Constant}$

At constant temperature and $\text{number}\text{of}\text{moles}\left(\text{n}\right)$, two different pressure and volume is related by the equation.

$P_{\text{1}}{V}_{\text{1}}=P_{\text{2}}{V}_{\text{2}}$ (1)

Here,

$P_{\text{1}}$ is initial pressure of the gas.

$P_{\text{2}}$ is the final pressure of the gas.

$V_{\text{1}}$ is the initial volume of gas.

$V_{\text{2}}$ is the final volume of gas.
