Chapter 2, Problem 2.67E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general equation presented in Example 2.14 is to be derived. Start from equation 2.47 and use the combined gas law.

Concept introduction:

The combined gas law deals with the basic laws of pressure, volume and temperature of the gases such as Charles-law, Gay-Lussac’s law, and Boyle’s law. Besides, these laws elucidate the impact of other two values while keeping the third law stays the same. Boyle’s law explains the inverse relationship between pressure and volume. Charles’s law describes the direct proportionality relationship between volume and temperature. Gay-Lussac’s law states the direct proportionality relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume. Thus, the combined gas law can be expressed as, $\mathrm{P}\mathrm{V}\mathrm{ }=\mathrm{ }\mathrm{n}\mathrm{R}\mathrm{T}$.
