Chapter 11, Problem 11.130QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The air temperature and the percent decrease in oxygen gas from sea level have to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas is the most usually used form of the ideal gas equation, which describes the relationship among the four variables P, V, n, and T.  An ideal gas is a hypothetical sample of gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior is predicted accurately by the ideal gas equation.

$\text{PV = nRT}$

Mt. Everest to the moles of ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ at sea level is calculated by given formula

$\frac{{\text{n}}_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(Mt}\text{.Everest)}}{{\text{n}}_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(sea}\text{level)}}\text{=}\frac{\frac{{\text{P}}_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(Mt}\text{.Everest)}}{\text{RT}}}{\frac{{\text{P}}_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(sea}\text{level)V}}{\text{RT}}}$
