Chapter 8, Problem 20QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Pressure of the gas in $4.0\text{ L}$ container has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law:

At fixed temperature and number of molecules, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.

  $\text{P}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}$    (n, T are constants)

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{PV}\text{=}\text{constant}\\ \\ {\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}\text{=}{\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}\end{array}$
