Question 12

An engineer is testing the pressure-volume relationship of a nitrogen gas buffer inside a cryogenic storage system. The system maintains the nitrogen at a constant temperature of 77 K.

The engineer's experimental measurements are recorded in Table 1.

Table 1

Pressure, PPP (atm\text{atm}atm)Volume, VVV (L\text{L}L)P×VP \times VP×V (L⋅atm\text{L}\cdot\text{atm}L⋅atm)
1.58.0512.08
2.05.9211.84
2.54.8412.10
3.53.4111.94
4.03.0212.08

Use the data in Table 1 to estimate the volume of the gas buffer when the pressure is 3.0 atm3.0\text{ atm}3.0 atm.
