Chapter 5, Problem 53E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Pressure and density of helium gas that is added to two different containers, with one rigid and one flexible container should be predicted.

Concept introduction:The formula to calculate density is as follows:

  $\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

The mathematical relation between volume and temperature as per the Charles law are as follows:

  $V=\left(\text{constant}\right)\cdot T$

Where,

  $V$ denotes volume.

  $T$ denotes temperature.

Thus it can be concluded that increases in temperature increase volume and vice versa.
