Combined Gas Law: All three of the temp, pressure, volume laws
can be combined to give the following equation:
As with the other gas laws, it
doesn’t matter which units you use for pressure or volume, but temperature must be in Kelvins.
Example: a 2000ml baggie of air has a pressure of 1.1
atm in an oven that is at a
temperature of 95 oC. What is
the baggie’s new volume when it is placed in a
weird, high-pressure freezer at 7.5 atm and a temp of -17 oC?
Now
you try it: if a 330ml sample of air is
at 99 kPa of pressure at a temperature of 350K, what would the pressure be if
the volume went up to 420 ml and the temperature went down to 310K? Answer
