Explanation: For evaluating the combined gas law, we use four laws:

Charles' Law: Volume of a gas is directly proportional to the Temperature at Constant Pressure.

$V\propto T$ (at constant Pressure)

Boyle's Law: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the Pressure of a gas at constant Temperature.

$V\propto \frac{1}{P}$ (at constant Temperature)

Gay-Lussac's Law: Pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the Temperature at constant Volume.

$P\propto T$ (at constant Volume)

Avogadro's Law: Volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas at constant Pressure and constant Temperature.

$V\propto n$ (at constant Pressure and Temperature)

Combining all the four laws, we get

$PV\propto nT$

PV=nRT (Combined Gas Law)

where, R = Gas constant

Now, we need to calculate the pressure, rearranging the terms:

$P=\frac{nRT}{V}$

When an ideal gas at Initial Pressure P_1 , Volume V_1 and Temperature T_1 undergoes change in variables to Final pressure P_2 , Volume V_2 and Temperature T_2 , we write

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$P_2=(\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1})(\frac{T_2}{V_2})$

Answer : The variables in the numerator (a) will be, P_1,V_1,T_2 and the variables in the denominator (b) will be, V_2,T_1

Explanation :

The combined gas law has arrived from the combination of the four laws:

1) Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and the number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

2) Charles' Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$

3) Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$

4) Avogadro's Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.

$V\propto n$

By combining these four laws, we get the combined gas law.

$PV\propto nT\\\\PV=nRT$

where, R = gas constant

An ideal gas at initial pressure P_1 , initial volume V_1 and initial temperature T_1 undergoes changes with the variables to final pressure P_2 , final volume V_2 and final temperature T_2 .

By rearranging the gas law, we get the final pressure.

$\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2V_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}\\\\P_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}$
