Chapter 11, Problem 50E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The new volume of the water container at mountain top is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The Combined gas law, also called general gas equation simply combines Boyle’s Law and Charles’s Law. According to the combined gas law, the ratio of the pressure-volume product to the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.

$\frac{P_1{V}_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2{V}_2}{T_2}$

Here, $P_1$ is the initial pressure of the ideal gas; $P_2$ is the final pressure of the ideal gas; $V_1$ is the initial volume of the ideal gas; $V_2$ is the final volume; $T_1$ is the initial temperature and $T_2$ is the final temperature of the ideal gas
