(a)
To graph: The function
(a)
Answer to Problem 43E
The graph
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Chemistry: According to Boyle’s Law, the pressure P (in kilopascals) exerted by a gas varies inversely as the volume V (in cubic decimeters) of a gas if the temperature remains constant. That is,
Calculation:
The graph:
(b)
To find: The volume of the oxygen if the pressure is 101 kilopascals.
(b)
Answer to Problem 43E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Chemistry: According to Boyle’s Law, the pressure P (in kilopascals) exerted by a gas varies inversely as the volume V (in cubic decimeters) of a gas if the temperature remains constant. That is,
Calculation:
(c)
To find: The volume of the oxygen if the pressure is 50.5 kilopascals.
(c)
Answer to Problem 43E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Chemistry: According to Boyle’s Law, the pressure P (in kilopascals) exerted by a gas varies inversely as the volume V (in cubic decimeters) of a gas if the temperature remains constant. That is,
Calculation:
(d)
To make: A conjecture about the effect on the volume of gas, if the pressure is halved. Study your results for part b and c.
(d)
Answer to Problem 43E
If the pressure is halved than the volume is doubled
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Chemistry: According to Boyle’s Law, the pressure P (in kilopascals) exerted by a gas varies inversely as the volume V (in cubic decimeters) of a gas if the temperature remains constant. That is,
Calculation:
From parts b and c,
If the pressure is halved,
Then the volume is doubled.
