Chapter 5: Q5.16P (page 228)

A student states Boyle鈥檚 law as follows: 鈥淭he volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.鈥� How is this statement incomplete? Give a correct statement of Boyle鈥檚 law.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct statement of Boyle鈥檚 law is, 鈥淎t constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Step by step solution

01

Statement by the student 

The student states Boyle鈥檚 law as,

鈥淭he volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.鈥�

02

Correct statement of Boyle’s law 

According to Boyle鈥檚 law, the volume of the gas changes according to its pressure at constant temperature.

It means that pressure and volume of the gas are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature.

Thus, the correct statement is,

At constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
