Combined Gas Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis
Combined Gas Law Recall…. P x V = constant And V/T = constant P/T = constant It follows then that……
Combined Gas Law The good news is that you don’t have to remember all three gas laws! Since they are all related to each other, we can combine them into a single equation. P1 V1 P2 V2 = T1 T2
Combined Gas Law P1V1 = P2V2 T1 T2 Rearrange the combined gas law to solve for V2 P1V1T2 = P2V2T1 V2 = P1V1T2 P2T1
Solution C1 Solve the combined gas law for T2. (Hint: cross-multiply first.) P1V1 = P2V2 T1 T2 P1V1T2 = P2V2T1 T2 = P2V2T1 P1V1
