Chapter 9, Problem 2PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The picture that represents the atoms in the same microscopic volume at point C is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law gives a relation between the pressure and volume of gas at fixed temperature. The pressure $\left(P\right)$ of the fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the volume $\left(V\right)$ of the gas at constant temperature $\left(T\right)$ .

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