QUESTION:
Consider the following gaseous sample in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston. Initially there are n moles of the gas at temperature T, pressure P, and volume V. Choose the cylinder that correctly represents the gas after each of the following changes. (1) The pressure on the piston is tripled at constant n and T. (2) The temperature is doubled at constant n and P. (3) n moles of another gas are added at constant T and P. (4) T is halved and pressure on the piston is reduced to a quarter of its original value. (a) (b) (c)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
• Boyle's law. The pressure of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.
• Charles law: The volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
• Avogadro's law: The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas at constant temperature and pressure.
