Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the given cylinder that is A and B, identify the cylinder having high pressure at constant temperature and amount of gas.
Concept Introduction:
Boyle's Law gives the relationship between Pressure (P) and Volume (V).
According to Boyle's Law, the volume of gas changes inversely with the pressure of the gas if temperature and amount of a gas are constant.
PV = constant
The pressure of a gas decreases with increase in volume; volume of a gas decreases with increase in pressure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The final volume in millimetres should be determined when pressure inside the cylinder increase to 1.2 atm.
Concept Introduction:
If the pressure or volume of a gas changes without any change in amount of a gas and temperature, then the final volume and pressure will give the same PV product as the initial volume and pressure. Then, a relationship between initial and final PV products can be set as equal to each other. Boyle’s Law can be written as:
Where, P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume.
P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.

- Nitrogen monoxide gas reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitrogen dioxide gas. What volume of nitrogen dioxide is produced from the reaction of 1 L nitrogen monoxide gas with 3 L oxygen gas? What volume, if any, of the reactants will remain after the reaction ends? Assume all volumes are measured at the same pressure and temperature.arrow_forwardTwo identical He-filled balloons, each with a volume of 20 L, are allowed to rise into the atmosphere. One rises to an altitude of 3000 m while the other rises to 6000 m. a Assuming that the balloons are at the same temperature, which balloon has the greater volume? b What information would you need in order to calculate the volume of each of the balloons at their respective heights?arrow_forward
