How is the air pressure in a tightly sealed house affected by operating the furnace? Explain.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for ideal gas equation.
Here,
Since the furnace is operated in the tightly sealed house due to which the temperature in the tightly sealed house is increased and the volume is constant
From ideal gas equation, it is seen that the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.
So the air pressure is increased in the tightly sealed house.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the air pressure increases in the tightly sealed house by operating the furnace due to the increase in the temperature.
