In Pressure-Volume Relationship in Gases, describe the ease of moving the piston and maintaining the volume with respect to the volume of the gas in the syringe. Suggest an explanation for your observations. This in short form.
Accepted Answer
Generally, as the volume of the gas in the syringe decreases, moving the piston and maintaining the volume becomes increasingly difficult. This is because as the volume decreases, the pressure inside the syringe increases, making it harder to compress the gas further. This observation can be explained by Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, assuming constant temperature and number of moles.
