Chapter 5, Problem 5.4QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the Boyle’s equation the change in the volume occupied by a gas when the pressure changes at constant temperature should 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.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{PV = constant}\\ \text{or}\\ \text{ v}\text{α}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{P}}\end{array}$(At a constant temperature)

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume
