What is Boyle's Law constant if a sealed rigid container with a volume of 650 mL has a pressure of 131.1 kPa ?
The constant you obtain depends upon the units you want from PV = k
One set is (131.1/101.325)*0.650L = ?L*atm.
To determine Boyle's Law constant, you would need additional information. Boyle's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is constant. Mathematically, it can be represented as:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Where:
P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressures respectively,
V₁ and V₂ are the initial and final volumes respectively.
In this case, we only have information about the initial volume of 650 mL (V₁) and the initial pressure of 131.1 kPa (P₁), but we don't have any information about the final volume or final pressure.
To find the Boyle's Law constant, you would need to know either the final volume or the final pressure. With that information, you can use Boyle's Law equation and rearrange it to solve for the constant value.
