Problem 7.1.7 in Himmelbau An oxygen cylinder used as a standby source of oxygen contains O2 at 70°F. To calibrate the gauge on the O2 cylinder, which has a volume of 1.01 ft³, the oxygen, initially at 70°F, is released into an evacuated tank of known volume (15.0 ft³). At equilibrium the gas pressure in the tank (and cylinder) was measured as 4 inch H20 gauge and the gas temperature in both cylinders was 75°F. A barometer in the vicinity read 29.99 inch Hg.

Problem 7.1.7 in Himmelbau
An oxygen cylinder used as a standby source of oxygen contains O2 at 70°F. To
calibrate the gauge on the O2 cylinder, which has a volume of 1.01 ft3, the
oxygen, initially at 70°F, is released into an evacuated tank of known volume
(15.0 ft8). At equilibrium the gas pressure in the tank (and cylinder) was
measured as 4 inch H20 gauge and the gas temperature in both cylinders was
75°F. A barometer in the vicinity read 29.99 inch Hg.
What was the original gauge pressure of oxygen in the cylinder?
