Chapter 11.6, Problem 65E

To determine

Find the value of $c$ .

Answer to Problem 65E

  $0.00765$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Chemistry Boyle's Law states that the pressure $P$ exerted by a gas varies inversely as the volume $V$ of the gas at constant temperature. If a specific gas is collected in a $146$ cubic centimetre container and the pressure is $52.4$ Pascal’s ( $1$ Pascal $=1{\text{N/m}}^2$ ), use the formula $PV=c$

Calculation:

Consider the formula,

  $PV=c$

  $\begin{array}{l}C=PV\\ putP=52.4,V=146\times {10}^{-6}\\ C=\left(52.4\right)\left(146\times {10}^{-6}\right)\\ C=7650\times {10}^{-6}\\ C=0.00765\end{array}$

Hence, the value of $c$ is $0.00765$ .
