Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The result of halving the pressure at constant temperature and constant number of moles of gas through the given diagrams I to IV has to be described.
Concept Introduction:
Boyle’s law tells that the volume of a fixed amount of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure that applied to the gas at constant temperature. It means that if the pressure on the gas increases then the volume of the gas decreases proportionally and vice versa.
The mathematical expression for Boyle’s law at constant temperature and amount of gas can be represented as follows,

- Most mixtures of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas are explosive. However, a mixture that contains less than 3.0 % O2 is not. If enough O2 is added to a cylinder of H2 at 33.2 atm to bring the total pressure to 3-13 atm, is the mixture explosive?arrow_forwardA mixture at 33 °C contains H2at 325 torr. N;at 475 tore and O2at 650. torr. What is the total pressure of the gases in the system? Which gas contains the greatest number of moles?arrow_forward
