Chapter 9, Problem 117QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volumes of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Avogadro’s law gives a relationship at constant temperature and pressure between the volume of a gas and number of moles present in the gas. The volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present in the gas when temperature and pressure are fixed.

$\begin{array}{l}V\propto n\\ \frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}\end{array}$
