Chapter 7, Problem 32P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of V₂ needs to be determined from the given values of P_1, V₁and P₂assuming fixed amount of gas for Boyles law.

Concept Introduction:

Boyles law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of given mass of ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume. The equation for this law is depicted as

  $\text{P}\alpha \frac{1}{V}$

Hence, pressure and volume changes and is depicted by formula,

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

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The value of V₂ needs to be determined for the given values of P_1, V₁ and P₂assuming fixed amount of gas for Boyles law.

Concept Introduction:

Boyles law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of given mass of ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume. The equation is,

  $\text{P}\alpha \frac{1}{V}$

Therefore, changes in pressure and volume is given by formula,

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

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The value of P₂ needs to be determined for the given values of P_1, V₁ and V₂assuming fixed amount of gas for Boyles law.

Concept Introduction:

Boyles law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of given mass of ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume. The equation is further depicted as below

  $\text{P}\alpha \frac{1}{V}$

Therefore, with changes in pressure and volume, the equation gets transferred as,

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