Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Choose the correct option.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct option is “c. Charles’s law.”
Explanation of Solution
Reason:
Boyle’s law explains that if temperature of any gas is kept constant, the volume occupied by the gas has reciprocal variation with the absolute pressure of the gas.
Hooke’s law explains that the strain in any solid fluctuates with the fluctuating elastic limit of the solid.
Charles’s law explains that when pressure of a certain gas is taken constant, the total volume of the gas changes with the change in the absolute temperature of that gas.
Therefore, option c is correct, and other options are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is “c. Charles’s law.”

Explain.arrow_forwardThe density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 at sea level. From your knowledge of air pressure at ground level, estimate the height of the atmosphere. As a simplifying assumption, take the atmosphere to be of uniform density up to some height, after which the density rapidly falls to zero.
