A form of Boyle’s law is PV = k (at constant T and n). Table contains actual data from pressure– volume experiments conducted by Robert Boyle. The value of k in most experiments is 14.1 × 10² in Hg in³. Express k in units of atm. L In Example 5.1, k was determined for NH3 at various pressures and volumes. Give some reasons why the k values differ so dramatically between Example 5.1 and Table
