Chapter 6, Problem 6.48AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure inside the lungs has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s Law:

At constant temperature, the pressure and the volume of the gas are inversely related.

  $\text{PV=K}$

Where P is pressure of the gas at constant temperature.

V is volume of the gas at constant temperature.

K is the constant.

The volume or pressure of the gas can be calculated using the relation.

  ${\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{=P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}$

Where ${\text{P}}_{\text{1}}\text{\&}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}$ are pressure and volume of gas at initial state.

${\text{P}}_{\text{2}}\text{\&}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}$ are pressure and volume of gas at final state.
