Chapter 4, Problem 49E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final volume of oxygen that will result under the given conditions of temperature and pressure is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

According to the Boyle’s law, the pressure and volume of the fixed amount of a gas are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature. According to the Charles’ law the volume and temperature of a fixed amount of a gas are directly proportional to each other at constant pressure. Combining the two laws gives the combined gas law that relates the pressure, volume and temperature of a gas under two different conditions. The relation is expressed as:

$\frac{P_1{V}_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2{V}_2}{T_2}$
