Question

(Ane, 76 cm
3. A student performed an experiment to measure
pressure and volume of a gas at constant
temperature and noted the following
Pressure (mm of Hg)
Volume (em
100
125
200
Calculate the value of x and y. Which law was
used in the calculations ? Draw a suitable graph.
(Ans. x = 64 cm", y = 250 mm​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

X =64

Y=250mm

Answer 2

Boyle's law can be stated as, for a given mass of a gas the product of pressure and volume is always constant at constant temperature.

If P

are pressures of a gas in states 1,2,3,4 and corresponding volumes are V

at constant temperature, then according to Boyle's law, P

⟶ 100×80=125×x

∴x=

=64

ii) P

⟶ 100×80=y×32

∴y=
