Chapter 3, Problem 3B.10E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Final pressure of methane in $\text{2}\text{.50}\text{L}$ vessel has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Pressure and volume of the gas are related by Boyle's law which states that at constant $T$ and $n$, volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the system when moles of gas are constant. It is indicated as follows:

  $P\propto \frac{\text{1}}{V}$

Or

  $PV=k$

Here,

$V$ is volume occupied by the gas.

$P$ is the pressure of the gas.

$k$ is a constant.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Final pressure of organic fluorinated gas in $218\text{mL}$ vessel has to be calculated.
