Chapter 7.3, Problem 7.2PP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The volume (L) of this helium gas is to be determined at the pressure of 5.0 atm.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.

Mathematically,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ \text{or }PV=\text{constant}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The volume (L) of this helium gas is to be determined at the pressure of 2.5 atm.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.

Mathematically,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ \text{or }PV=\text{constant}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The volume (L) of this helium gas is to be determined at the pressure of 10.0 atm.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.

Mathematically,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ \text{or }PV=\text{constant}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The volume (L) of this helium gas is to be determined at the pressure of 380 mm Hg.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.

Mathematically,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ \text{or }PV=\text{constant}\end{array}$
