Question
2 liters of gas is enclosed in a vessel at a pressure of 760 mmHg. If the temperature remains constant, calculate pressure when volume changes to 4 dm3.

Solution
V = 2 litres
P = 760 mm
V1 = 4000 m3 [1 dm3 = 4 litres]
P1= ?
`"PV"/"T" = ("P"_1 "V"_1)/"T"_1`
`(760 xx 2)/"T" = ("P"_1 xx 4)/"T"_1`
`"P"_1 = 760/2 = 380` mm

Correct the following statement:
The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, pressure remaining constant.
It is required to reduce the volume of a gas by 20% by compressing it at a constant pressure. To do so, the gas has to be cooled. If the gas attains a final temperature of 157°C, find the initial temperature of the gas.
The pressure on one mole of gas at s.t.p. is doubled and the temperature is raised to 546 K. What is the final volume of the gas ? [one mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 litres at stp.]
According to Charles’s law, at constant pressure, the temperature is inversely proportional to volume.
