Chapter 8, Problem 11ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: ‘A helium balloon soars upward and eventually pops’. This behavior should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s law can be defined as,

At constant temperature and number of moles, volume of gaseous container is inversely proportional to the excreted pressure on the gaseous container. Mathematically

                                            $P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

Or

                                             $\text{PV=K}$

Where,

          P = pressure in atmospheres

          V= volumes in liters

          K= a constant for a particular gas at given temperature
