A tank of oxygen has a volume of 40.0L and is held at a pressure of 159atm at 25∘C. What volume of O2 gas (in liters) would there be at normal body conditions, or 1.00atm and 37∘C?

V2 = 6616 L

Explanation:

From the question;

Initial volume = 40L

Initial Pressure, P1 = 159atm

Initial Temperature T1 = 25 + 273 = 298K (Upon converting to Kelvin unit)

Final Volume, V2 = ?

Final Pressure, P2 = 1 atm

Final Temperature T2 = 37 + 273= 310K (Upon converting to Kelvin unit)

These quantities are related by the equation;

P1V1 / T1  = P2V2 / T2

V2 = T2 * P1 * V1 / T1 * P2

V2 = 310 * 159 * 40  /   (298 * 1)

V2 = 6616 L
