b. allows the reservoir contents to be main-tained in the liquid state.
c. keeps the liquid oxygen above its critical temperature.
d. allows the gas to be maintained at 50 psig.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, if the volume of a gas remains constant, there is a direct rela-tionship between the absolute pressure of a gas and its temperature. This release of gas allows the gas within the container to expand, thus lowering the temperature.
