Chapter 5, Problem 5.33QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The change in volume has to be given if the pressure of the gas is tripled at constant temperature.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law states that the volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure that is exerted by the gas if the temperature and number of moles of the gas are kept as constant.  In the form of equation this can be expressed as,

    $PV=k_b$

Where,

    $P$ is the pressure of gas.

    $V$ is volume of gas.

    $k_b$ is Boyle’s law constant.
