Question

A gas exerts a pressure of 3 atm on the walls of container . When this container is emptied into a 10 litre container, the pressure exerted by the gas increases to 6 atm. Find the volume of first container . Assume that the temperature of the gas
remains constant.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Gas Laws

A. Boyle's Law

Boyle's Law states: If the temperature of a gas sample is kept constant, the volume of the sample will vary inversely as the pressure varies. This statement means that, if the pressure increases, the volume will decrease. If the pressure decreases, the volume will increase. This law can be expressed as an equation that relates the initial volume (V1) and the initial pressure (P1) to the final volume (V2) and the final pressure (P2). At constant temperature
