Consider the following situation:  You have a 50 L tank of compressed air at 15 atm and 100 ºC.  You then pass the compressed air through a "titanium getter" which contains fragments of hot titanium metal.  The purpose of the "getter" is to remove oxygen gas from the sample as Ti reacts with oxygen to form solid TiO2 (known as titania).  Once the purified air is passed through the getter is it cooled back down to  100 ºC and fills another 50 L storage tank.  If air typically contains about 20% oxygen, what could the pressure in the storage tank be?     Question 2 options:   A)  12 atm   B)  15 atm   C)  18 atm   D)  24 atm
