Q:

Which law relates to the ideal gas law?

A) P1T1 = P2T2 B) P1/V1 = P2/V2
C) P1V1 = P2V2 D) T1/V1 = T2/V2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) P1V1 = P2V2

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Law ::

The Combined gas law or General Gas Equation is obtained by combining Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. It shows the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature for a fixed mass (quantity) of gas:

P1V1T1 = P2V2T2

 

Hence, the Boyle's law P1V1 = P2T2, relates to ideal gas equation.

Q:

Buoyancy depends on

A) the mass of the liquid displaced B) the mass of the body
C) the depth to which the body is immersed D) the shaped of the body
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) the mass of the liquid displaced

Explanation:

Buoyancy or Upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.

In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.
