Write the statement for Boyle’s law
Advertisements
Solution
Statement of Boyle’s law: For a fixed mass (number of moles ‘n’) of a gas at a constant temperature, the pressure (P) of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume (V) of the gas.
OR
At constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount (number of moles) of a gas varies inversely with its volume.

Solve the following.
A balloon is inflated with helium gas at room temperature of 25°C and at 1 bar pressure when its initial volume is 2.27L and allowed to rise in the air. As it rises in the air external pressure decreases and the volume of the gas increases till finally, it bursts when external pressure is 0.3bar. What is the limit at which the volume of the balloon can stay inflated?
