Chapter 6, Problem 6.38E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure (in $\text{atm}$) of the stored oxygen in the cylinder is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that ideal gas. The relation between pressure and volume can be represented as,

$P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2$

Where,

• $P_1$ is the initial pressure.

• $V_1$ is the initial volume.

• $P_2$ is the final pressure.

• $V_2$ is the final volume.
