3) Atmospheric pressure on the peak of Mt. Everest can be as low as 150 mm Hg, which is why climbers need to bring oxygen tanks for the last part of the climb. If the climbers carry 10.0 liter tanks with an internal gas pressure of 3.04 x 104 mm Hg, what will be the volume of the gas when it is released from the tanks?

A 0.458 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.73 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 1.59, what is the initial acceleration a of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atm and that the top of the tube is open to the air.
Question 23 A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston- cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 3.2 kg and a cross-sectional area of 35 cm2. A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 150 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, determine the absolute pressure inside the cylinder in kPa.
An aquatic organism needs to be neutrally buoyant to stay at a constant depth. Fish accomplish this with an internal swim bladder they can fill with air that they take in from the water through their gills. One complication is that the pressure in the swim bladder matches that of the surrounding water, but the water pressure changes with depth. Because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (as you may already know if you have studied the ideal-gas law), the volume of air in a fish's swim bladder decreases with depth unless the fish actively adds more air. ▼ Part A Consider a 3.9 kg freshwater fish whose tissues have an average density of 1050 kg/m³. To what volume in mL must the swim bladder be inflated for the fish to be neutrally buoyant at the surface? Express your answer in milliliters to two significant figures.

1. A bicycle pump inflates a tire of volume 565 mL until the gauge pressure is 6.47 bar at a temperature of 21.7°C. (Note: the volume of the tire before and after it is "inflated" is 565 mL. Initially, the tire contains air at ambient atmospheric pressure.) (a) If the barometric pressure is 1.01 bar, what is the absolute pressure in the tire? (b) (c) How many moles of air does the tire contain? What volume of air at 1.01 bar and 21.7°C did the pump transfer?

The absolute pressure in your car tires is 3.7 × 105 Pa at a temperature of 35.0°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska a. What is the absolute pressure of the tires, in pascals, later when the temperature has dropped to -40.0°C? Assume the volume of each tire does not change.
A cylinder containing ideal gas is sealed by a piston that is above the gas. The piston is a cylindrical object, with a weight of 22.0 N, which can slide up or down in the cylinder without friction. The inner radius of the cylinder, and the radius of the piston, is 8.00 cm. The top of the piston is exposed to the atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. The cylinder has a height of 30.0 cm, and, when the temperature of the gas is 20°C, the bottom of the piston is 11.0 cm above the bottom of the cylinder. (A) Find the number of moles of ideal gas in the cylinder. (B) Heat is added, gradually raising the temperature of the gas to 160°C. Calculate the distance between the bottom of the cylinder and the bottom of the piston when the piston comes to its new equilibrium position.
An airplane passenger has 100 cm3 of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. What volume will the air have at cruising altitude if cabin pressure drops to 7.50 X 104 N/m2?
Tire gauges for air pressure, as well as most other gauges used in an industrial environment take into account the pressure due to the atmosphere of earth. That's why your car gauge reads 0 before you put it on your tire to check your pressure. That is called gauge pressure. The real pressure within a tire or other object contains pressurized stuff would be a combination of what the gauge reads as well at the atmospheric pressure. If a gauge on a tire reads 40.16 psi, what is the real pressure in the tire in pascals. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01x10^5 Pa.

The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m³, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 44°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. kJ kPa.m³ kJ Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa.

Problem 1: A certain rigid aluminum container contains a liquid at a gauge pressure of P0 = 2.02 × 105 Pa at sea level where the atmospheric pressure is Pa = 1.01 × 105 Pa. The volume of the container is V0 = 2.15 × 10-4 m3. The maximum difference between the pressure inside and outside that this particular container can withstand before bursting or imploding is ΔPmax = 2.41 × 105 Pa.For this problem, assume that the density of air maintains a constant value of ρa = 1.20 kg / m3 and that the density of seawater maintains a constant value of ρs = 1025 kg / m3. What is the maximum depth dmax in meters below the surface of the ocean that the container can be taken before imploding?
