A gas-filled weather balloon with a volume of 65.0 L is released at sea-level conditions of 745 torr and . The balloon can expand to a maximum volume of 835 L. When the balloon rises to an altitude at which the temperature is and the pressure is 0.066 atm, will it reach its maximum volume?
A sample of Freon-12 () occupies 25.5 L at 298 K and 153.3 kPa. Find its volume at STP.
In preparation for a demonstration, your professor brings a 1.5-L bottle of sulfur dioxide into the lecture hall before class to allow the gas to reach room temperature. If the pressure gauge reads 85 psi and the temperature in the hall is , how many moles of sulfur dioxide are in the bottle?
Why is moist air less dense than dry air?
On a cool, rainy day, the barometric pressure is 730 mmHg. Calculate the barometric pressure in centimeters of water (cmH2O) (dof Hg = 13.5 g/mL; dof H2O = 1.00 g/mL).
