Answer:
decrease the volume of the cylinder.
Explanation:
In order to be able to solve this question we have to understand what Boyle's law is. According to Boyle's law; at constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to to its volume.
The Boyle's law shows us the relationship between the pressure and the volume. So, the Important thing to note hear is that if the volume in a container is decreased then the pressure will increase (and vice versa) due to the fact that as the volume decreases the particles in that container makes more collision which will make the pressure to increase.
Since, the piston is moveable it means that we can decrease and increase the volume in the cylinder. So, if the decrease the volume of the cylinder then we will have an increase in the pressure of the gas below the piston.
Answer: According to the BBC, the internationally recognized death toll shows that 31 died as an immediate result of Chernobyl. Two workers died at the site of the explosion, another died in hospital soon after due to their injuries and 28 operators and firemen are believed to have died within three months of the accident.
Explanation:
Use Boyle's Law of Pressure: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2. Givens: P1=0.9 atm V1= 4 P2= 0.9 atm Find: V2 Equation: 0.9 atm x 4 x 4 L = 0.20 atm x V2Solve: 36 atmL= 0.20 atm x V2 18 : = V2 Short answer: The new volume is 104 ml.
I guess you could call them that. In chemistry, we call them Metalloids though.
