A plastic bottle is filled with hot water.The water is poured away.The bottle top is quickly replaced, bottle collapses.What pressure law is this?

P1V1/T1= p2v2/t2

i just looked that formula up on google and it says its the general gas law, is that right?

[cals400ex]

yes, that is a derivitive of the ideal gas law. it is derived from boyle's law and charles law. ideal gas law is PV=nRT

boyle's law is P1V1=p2V2

charles law is V1/T1=V2/T2


i am not really sure what it is called. i would put ideal gas law. heck, i am not a chemist...

[cals400ex]

and also, i can not even guarantee that is the right law. it seems to fit though.........

[Merriman]

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2 ......... Where P2 = P1*(V1/V2)(T2/T1)

P2 Is your final pressure, and you'd need to know your intial data.

This is called the "Combined Gas law"
