Chapter 11, Problem 11.3YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of the bicycle tire on a mountain for given temperature and pressure is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The combined gas law determines the effects of the properties of gas, such as pressure, temperature, and volume simultaneously.

This law can be used to compare the initial and final sets of conditions in a substance as $\frac{{\text{P}}_1{\text{V}}_1}{{\text{T}}_1}\text{ = }\frac{{\text{P}}_2\text{V}}{\text{T}}$

Here, ${\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{, V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{ and T}}_{\text{1}}$ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature and ${\text{P}}_{\text{2}}\text{, V}\text{a}\text{nd T}$ are the final pressure, volume and temperature.
