Chapter 10, Problem 17E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final value of pressure $\left(\text{P}\right)$ in $\text{atm}$ when volume $\left(\text{V}\right)$ of a gas is increased from $\text{1}\text{.75 L}$ to $\text{2}\text{.50 L}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

To study the molecules in gaseous state different laws have been given by different scientists which relates different variables to each other. Boyle’s law which relates pressure and volume states that when temperature is kept constant for a gas then the pressure and volume follows the inverse relation. According to Boyle’s law, relation between pressure and volume at constant temperature is written below.

$\text{P}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}$
