Chapter 5, Problem 5.41QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final volume of the gas at STP has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The combined gas law is no official founder for this law; these laws each relate one to another mathematically while holding everything else constant.  Charles's law states that volume and temperature are directly proportional to each other as long as pressure is held constant.  Finally, Gay-Lussac's law introduces a direct proportionality between temperature and pressure as long as it is at a constant volume.

  $\frac{{\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{1}}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}}$
