Concept explainers
Interpretation: Pressure is calculated at varying volumes
Concept introduction: As per the Boyle’s law, the pressure and volume are inversely related, which means that as the pressure of the gas reduces, its volume increases and vice versa. Since, the product of pressure and volume of the gas always remains constant at a particular temperature and amount of gas. The equation gives the relation between pressure and volume is,
Given: At the pressure of 655 mmHg, the volume of helium gas in balloon is 10.0 L. We need to calculate the pressure; in millimetre, at following volumes at constant temperature and amount of gas.
a. 20.0 L
b. 2.50 L
c. 13800 mL
d. 1250 mL
