Chapter 9, Problem 41QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of the pressure of ${\text{N}}_2$ gas is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law gives the relation between pressure and volume at a constant temperature. At a constant temperature, as the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases. Pressure is, therefore, inversely proportional to volume.

$\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2\mathrm{......}\left(1\right)\end{array}$
