Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The approximate levels in the movable pistons in drawings (a) to (c) should be determined after the given changes have been made.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas Equation:

Any gas is described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V }\propto \frac{\text{nT}}{\text{P}}\\ \text{V = R}\frac{\text{nT}}{\text{P}}\\ \text{PV = nRT}\\ \text{where,}\\ \text{n = moles}\text{of}\text{gas}\\ \text{P = pressure}\\ \text{T = temperature}\\ \text{R = gas }\text{constant}\end{array}$
