Describe a scenario using the combined gas law in which changes occur in the pressure and temperature of an enclosed gas but the volume does not change.

There are 4 general laws that relate the 4 basic characteristic properties of gases to each other. Each law is titled by its discoverer. While it is important to understand the relationships covered by each law, knowing the originator is not as important and will be rendered redundant once the combined gas law is introduced. So concentrate on understanding the relationships rather than memorizing the names.

Charles' Law- gives the relationship between volume and temperature if the pressure and the amount of gas are held constant:

1) If the Kelvin temperature of a gas is increased, the volume of the gas increases. (P, n Constant)

2) If the Kelvin temperature of a gas is decreased, the volume of the gas decreases. (P, n Constant)

This means that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature. Think of it this way, if you increase the volume of a gas and must keep the pressure constant the only way to achieve this is for the temperature of the gas to increase as well.

in the given question, the partial pressure is calculated by using the ideal gas equation, that is, pv = nrt

here, p is pressure, v is volume = 25 l, n is number of moles = 0.0104 moles, r is gas constant = -0.0821 l.atm / mol.k

t is temperature = 273 k

p = nrt / v

p = (0.0104 mol × 0.0821 l.atm / mol.k × 273 k) / 25 l

= 0.0093 atm
