Question

Several years ago there was a big controversy in football that needed chemistry to
solve it! In “Deflategate”, the problem was a lack of understanding of the ideal gas
law. Use the following data to determine the final gauge pressure of one of the
footballs from that event. If the football was initially inflated to 12.50 psig in the
locker room at 69.0 F, what gauge pressure would it be when the football was
taken to the field at 48.0 F? Atmospheric pressure = 12.30 psi that day.

Definition Definition Law that is the combined form of Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Avogadro's Law. This law is obeyed by all ideal gas. Boyle's Law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume. Charles's Law states that volume is in direct relation to temperature. Avogadro's Law shows that volume is in direct relation to the number of moles in the gas. The mathematical equation for the ideal gas law equation has been formulated by taking all the equations into account: PV=nRT Where P = pressure of the ideal gas V = volume of the ideal gas n = amount of ideal gas measured in moles R = universal gas constant and its value is 8.314 J.K-1mol-1 T = temperature
