Boyle's law Definition and 41 Threads

Hi all, in this question i was asked to find the percentage change in the density, my approach was as following, first i find the change in volume due to putting the gas into the other vessel as: $$ P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}\;\; → \;\;V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}V_{1} $$ now i use $$...

I am currently working on a project trying to calculate leak rate and fluid loss from pressurised vessels filled with water over a time period of 30 minutes. So far I have used the Boyles Law which assumes that PV/T = constant which gets us P1 * V1 = P2 * V2 and PdV+VdP = 0 I formed this over to...

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

Robert Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of fixed amount ( i-e number of moles n) of gas varies inversely with its volume. Mathematically, it can be written as $p ∝ \frac1V $(at constant T and n) $\Rightarrow p = k_1 \times \frac1V $ where $k_1$is a proportionality...

Will the available Volume of oxygen gas for use of patients increase when the pressure decreases from 12.4 MPa to 500 KPa? Is using boyle's law the right way to calculate the available volume?

So this is something I been thinking about. In venturi principle when a fluid or gas is moving across a tube when it is constricted the fluid has increased velocity. Because it in constriction the pressure goes down. But in Boyle law if volume is decreased the pressure goes up. So in the...

When using a Boyle's Law Apparatus, pressure applied to the plunger can be calculated by knowing the mass of the object on the plunger and the area of the plunger. P = F/A. The change of pressure inside the cylinder can be calculated using Boyles Law, P1V1 = P2V2 Should the value for the...

I have a simulation I'm trying out (for fun). A self-gravitating ball of gas, in deep space. (The sim uses a fixed-time-step for each iteration.) I'd like to use Boyles Ideal gas law, the force of gravity, and energy as internal heat. (I don't want to touch enthalpy unless I don't realize...

Homework Statement An pillow is inflated with an pressure of let's say 20 hPa. Afterwards we place a weight of 10 Kg on the pillow, what is the pressure increase within the pillow? P athmosthere = 1013 hPa P cushion = 1013 + 20 = 1033 hPa m = 10 Kg g = 9.81 m/s^2 Amount of air in the pillow...

I have a container that measures 1 cubic foot and is full of water. I have another empty container that is 4.5 feet higher than the empty container. The full container has a fluid outlet on the bottom, and an air inlet on the top. A hose (1 inch diameter, 4.5 feet long) connects the fluid outlet...

If I have a tank of volume V, pressure P, and temperature T, what is the most effective way to determine the volume flow rate if I were to suddenly allow the air to discharge through a hose? My first thought was that I could use Boyle's Law to determine the compressed volume of air in the tank...

I asked my teacher, and I was told that volume is the independent variable, and that pressure is dependent. The textbook I'm using said the same thing. After looking up some graphs of the law, I found that both pressure and volume were used as independent variables. It seems counter-intuitive...

In my textbook, it says that pV=C (Boyle's Law), V/T=C (Charle's Law) and that P/T=C (pressure Law). The problem is that I cannot see how the first two equations combine to give the last one. If I divide the first equation by the second, I get that pT=C, which certainly is not the same as the...

Boyle's law states that the product of the pressure and the volume of a gas is Constant at a constant temperature, that means if pressure increase two times the volume decrease to half it's value "as long as the temperature is constant". How is the pressure increased and the temperature is kept...

I have been trying to find out of Boyle's Law and plate tectonics are in any way shape or form related. Are they? If they are not, is there a way I can relate their movement to physics?

When we use Boyle's Law it means that as pressure increases the volume of the container would decrease. In my notes they stated that if I were to halve the volume there would be two times the number of collisions per second which implies that the force exerted is doubled. But why is this so? I...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you could help me on this quick question I have. Homework Statement A student does an experiment to investigate Boyle's Law by adding masses onto the bottom of an upside down syringe and measuring the length of the gas column in the syringe. Force is...

I've curious about how an air conditioner or refrigerator make's cold air. I've read two different descriptions how cold is "made", or how heat is removed from a system. Some descriptions I've read say that air conditioners use expanding gas in it's coils, hence the use of Boyle's law. Other...

A narrow uniform glass tube contains air enclosed by a thread of mercury 15cm long. When the tube is held vertically, with the closed end at the bottom,the air column is 20.0cm long, but when it is held horizontally the air column is 24.0cm long. Calculate the atmospheric pressure. I...

If a gas will expand to fill the available space (container) does this still hold true if the "container" is the atmosphere? Assuming the gas(es) can escape (either in molecular or in subs - atoms) from the area around the Earth containing our atmosphere this means that the gas is not...

Effect of a volume increase at constant temperature: A constant temperature means that the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules remains unchanged. This in turn means that the rms speed of the molecules, u, is unchanged. If the volume is increased, however, the molecules must move a longer...
