Chapter 6, Problem 6.31E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume (in $\text{mL}$) that a gas will occupy at the standard atmospheric pressure, $760\text{torr}$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that ideal gas. The relation between pressure and volume can be represented as,

$P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2$

Where,

• $P_1$ is the initial pressure.

• $V_1$ is the initial volume.

• $P_2$ is the final pressure.

• $V_2$ is the final volume.
