The air temperature and pressure in a laboratory are 20C and 1.0 atm. A 1.0 L container is open to the air. The container is then sealed and placed in a bath of boiling water. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the container is opened. How many moles of air escape?
A brass ring with inner diameter 2.00 cm and outer diameter 3.00 cm needs to fit over a 2.00-cm-diameter steel rod, but at 20C the hole through the brass ring is 50 mm too small in diameter. To what temperature, inC, must the rod and ring be heated so that the ring just barely slips over the rod?
of gas undergoes the process shown in Figure P16.38. What are
(a) temperature ,
(b) pressure , and
(c) volume ?

The U-shaped tube in FIGURE P18.57 has a total length of . It is open at one end, closed at the other, and is initially filled with air at pressure.
Mercury is poured slowly into the open end without letting any air escape, thus compressing the air. This is continued until the open side of the tube is completely filled with mercury. What is the length of the column of mercury?

A student is asked to sketch a pV diagram for a gas that goes
through a cycle consisting of (a) an isobaric expansion, (b) a
constant-volume reduction in temperature, and (c) an isothermal
process that returns the gas to its initial state. The student draws
the diagram shown in FIGURE Q18.12. What, if anything, is wrong
with the student’s diagram?
