Boyle's Law problem

JEE Mains 2015 Guidance › Class VII-X Physics questions › Boyle's Law problem

From Boyle's Law we get V=K/P (K=constant)

So, if a comparatively infinite pressure is exerted on a container containing gas, will the volume not become 0? (provided that the gas does not liquiefy or solidify on application of the pressure)

if it does become 0,then will not the conservation of mass be deviated?

Yes and no..

see the thing is that there is a small mistake in boyle's law because it assumes the size of the gas molecule to be zero...

but because that is not true there is a error in this law...

so as the pressure becomes large then it shows more errors..

is there a modified form of the Boyle's law?

see itz an ideal case and if u can apply a pressure of infinity then i can show u the volume being 0 and mass being presnt ok?????
