The ideal gas law relates the pressure P, volume V, absolute temperature T, and amount of gas n. The law is nRT P = V where R is the gas constant. An engineer must design a large natural gas storage tank to be expandable to maintain the pressure constant at 2.2 atm. In December when the temperature is 4°F (-15°C), the volume of gas in the tank is 28 500 ft'. What will the volume of the same quantity of gas be in July when the temperature is 88°F (31°C)? (Hint: Use the fact that n, R, and P are constant in this problem. Note also that K =°C +273.2.)
