Chapter 17, Problem 8STP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation ;

The gas law which tells about the frequency of collision between individual gas particles and between the molecules and wall of the container which increases when sample is compresses is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

According to Boyle’s law, the frequency of collisions of gas molecules with the wall is increases due to increase in pressure of the gas.

Answer to Problem 8STP

Correct answer: C. Boyle’s law

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option:

According to Boyle’s law, the frequency of collisions of gas molecules with the wall is increases due to increase in pressure of the gas.

Conclusion

Reasons for incorrect options:

A. Gay-Lussac’s law states that the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

B. it states that volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature of the gas

D. it elates the volume of a gas with the amount of substance of gas present.
