Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The pressure exerted by the gas (in atm) is to be determined if the volume is changed to 30.0 mL.
Concept Introduction:
Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.
Mathematically,
(b)
Interpretation:
The pressure exerted by the gas (in atm) is to be determined if the volume is changed to 5.0 mL.
Concept Introduction:
Boyle's Law- It defines the relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume of that gas at the constant temperature. According to this law, at a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by that same mass of the gas.
Mathematically,
(c)
Interpretation:
The pressure exerted by the gas (in atm) is to be determined if the volume is changed to 100.0 mL.
Concept Introduction:

(d)
Interpretation:
The pressure exerted by the gas (in atm) is to be determined if the volume is changed to 1.0 L.

- 5.18 When helium escapes from a balloon, the balloon’s volume decreases. Based on your intuition about stretching rubber, explain how this observation is consistent with the gas law.arrow_forwardConsider these four gas samples, all at the same temperature. The larger boxes have twice the volume of the smaller boxes. Rank the gas samples with respect to: (a) pressure, (b) density, (c) average kinetic energy, and (d) average molecular speed. (Green spheres are He; violet spheres are Ne.)arrow_forwardA 20.0-L cylinder containing 11.34 kg of butane, C4H10, was opened to the atmosphere. Calculate the mass of the gas remaining in the cylinder if it were opened and the gas escaped until the pressure in the cylinder was equal to the atmospheric pressure. 0.983 atm, and a temperature of 27 C.arrow_forward
- A gas sample containing 1.50 moles at 25C exerts a pressure of 400. torr. Some gas is added to the same container and the temperature is increased to 50.C. If the pressure increases to 800. torr, how many moles of gas were added to the container? Assume a constant-volume container.arrow_forwardUsing the postulates of the kinetic molecular theory, explain why a gas uniformly fills a container of any shape.arrow_forward
