Chapter 7.3, Problem 7.2P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The pressure exerted by the gas (in atm) is to be determined if the volume is changed to 30.0 mL.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.

Mathematically,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ \text{or }PV=\text{constant}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The pressure exerted by the gas (in atm) is to be determined if the volume is changed to 5.0 mL.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.

Mathematically,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ \text{or }PV=\text{constant}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The pressure exerted by the gas (in atm) is to be determined if the volume is changed to 100.0 mL.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.

Mathematically,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ \text{or }PV=\text{constant}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:
