Find the volume of a gas using Boyle's law

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on applying Boyle's Law to calculate the volume of a gas at a specific pressure and temperature. The formula used is pV = Constant, where the pressure (p) is 10 kPa and the constant (C) is 0.6 at 37 degrees Celsius. The calculation shows that the volume (V) is 0.06 cubic units. This confirms the correct application of Boyle's Law in determining gas volume under given conditions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Boyle's Law and its formula pV = Constant
  • Basic knowledge of gas properties and behavior
  • Familiarity with units of pressure (kPa) and volume
  • Ability to perform algebraic calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the implications of temperature on gas volume using Charles's Law
  • Explore real-world applications of Boyle's Law in various scientific fields
  • Learn about the Ideal Gas Law and its relationship to Boyle's Law
  • Investigate the effects of pressure changes on gas behavior in closed systems
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or chemistry, educators teaching gas laws, and professionals in fields requiring gas volume calculations.

Homework Statement
Find volume
Relevant Equations
PV = C
Is this right
go confused with the 37 degrees

Q)
pV = Constant
pressure of a gas is ‘10’ (kPa) and the constant ‘37 degrees celcus’ = ‘0.6’, calculate the volume that the gas.

pV = C
C/p = V
0.6/10 = C
V = 0.06
