Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. State Boyle's Law.

    Boyle's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure (PP) and volume (VV) are inversely proportional. This means their product, P×VP \times V, remains constant.

  2. Calculate the product of pressure and volume for each data point.

    We will calculate P×VP \times V for each pair of given values:

    • For P=0.2500 TorrP = 0.2500 \text{ Torr}, V=2.8010 LV = 2.8010 \text{ L}: P×V=0.2500 Torr×2.8010 L=0.70025 Torr⋅LP \times V = 0.2500 \text{ Torr} \times 2.8010 \text{ L} = 0.70025 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
    • For P=0.5000 TorrP = 0.5000 \text{ Torr}, V=1.4000 LV = 1.4000 \text{ L}: P×V=0.5000 Torr×1.4000 L=0.70000 Torr⋅LP \times V = 0.5000 \text{ Torr} \times 1.4000 \text{ L} = 0.70000 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
    • For P=0.7500 TorrP = 0.7500 \text{ Torr}, V=0.9333 LV = 0.9333 \text{ L}: P×V=0.7500 Torr×0.9333 L=0.699975 Torr⋅LP \times V = 0.7500 \text{ Torr} \times 0.9333 \text{ L} = 0.699975 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
    • For P=1.0000 TorrP = 1.0000 \text{ Torr}, V=0.6998 LV = 0.6998 \text{ L}: P×V=1.0000 Torr×0.6998 L=0.69980 Torr⋅LP \times V = 1.0000 \text{ Torr} \times 0.6998 \text{ L} = 0.69980 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
    • For P=2.0000 TorrP = 2.0000 \text{ Torr}, V=0.3495 LV = 0.3495 \text{ L}: P×V=2.0000 Torr×0.3495 L=0.69900 Torr⋅LP \times V = 2.0000 \text{ Torr} \times 0.3495 \text{ L} = 0.69900 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
    • For P=3.0000 TorrP = 3.0000 \text{ Torr}, V=0.2328 LV = 0.2328 \text{ L}: P×V=3.0000 Torr×0.2328 L=0.69840 Torr⋅LP \times V = 3.0000 \text{ Torr} \times 0.2328 \text{ L} = 0.69840 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
    • For P=4.0000 TorrP = 4.0000 \text{ Torr}, V=0.1744 LV = 0.1744 \text{ L}: P×V=4.0000 Torr×0.1744 L=0.69760 Torr⋅LP \times V = 4.0000 \text{ Torr} \times 0.1744 \text{ L} = 0.69760 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
    • For P=5.0000 TorrP = 5.0000 \text{ Torr}, V=0.1394 LV = 0.1394 \text{ L}: P×V=5.0000 Torr×0.1394 L=0.69700 Torr⋅LP \times V = 5.0000 \text{ Torr} \times 0.1394 \text{ L} = 0.69700 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}
  3. Analyze the results and conclude.

    The calculated P×VP \times V values are consistently close to 0.700 Torr⋅L0.700 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}, with minor variations due to experimental measurements. For example, the values range from 0.69700 Torr⋅L0.69700 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L} to 0.70025 Torr⋅L0.70025 \text{ Torr} \cdot \text{L}. This demonstrates that as the pressure increases, the volume decreases proportionally, keeping their product approximately constant. Therefore, the provided data supports Boyle's Law.
