Acontainer of oxygen with a fixed volume has a pressure of 13.0 atm at a temperature of 20 °c. what will the pressure of the oxygen be if the container is heated to 102 °c? a. 12.4 atm b. 15.4 atm c. 16.6 atm d. 18.6 atm

Given:

P1 = 13.0 atm

T1 = 20 °C

T2 = 102 °C

Required:

P2 of oxygen

Solution:

At constant volume, we can apply Gay-Lussac’s law of pressure and temperature relationship

P1/T1=P2/T2

(13.0 atm) / (20 °C) = P2 / (102 °C)

P2 = 66.3 atm

The answer is not in the choices given.

answer: c.

explanation:

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
