How does a sample of gas differ in its behavior from a sample of liquid in each of the following situations?
(a) The sample is transferred from one container to a larger one.
(b) The sample is heated in an expandable container, but no change of state occurs.
(c) The sample is placed in a cylinder with a piston, and an external force is applied.
How can a unit of length such as millimetre of mercury (mmHg) be used as a unit of pressure, which has the dimensions of force per unit area?
In a closed-end manometer, the mercury level in the arm attached to the flask can never be higher than the mercury level in the other arm, whereas in an open-end manometer, it can be higher. Explain.
What is the effect of the following on the volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas?
(a) Half the gas escapes (at constantPandT).
(b) The initial pressure is 722 torr, and the final pressure is 0.950 atm; the initial temperature is 32oF, and the final temperature is 273 K.
(c) Both the pressure and temperature decrease to one-fourth of their initial values.
If the sample flask in Figure P5.12 is open to the air, what is the atmospheric pressure (in atm)?
