Chapter 6, Problem 13E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The initial pressure of the argon gas needs to be determined, if the volume of the gas is changes from 35.8 L to 1875 L keeping other parameters constant.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas follows the ideal gas equation which is represented as follows:

$PV=nRT$

This equation is basically combination of certain gas laws. The Boyle’s law of ideal gas states that at constant temperature and amount of gas, the pressure of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas. The mathematical expression for Boyle’s law is:

$P_1{\times }_{ }{V}_1 =P_2\times V_2$

Here, $P_1$ is initial pressure, $P_2$ is final pressure, $V_1$ is initial volume and $V_2$ is final volume.
