![1 The oxygen tank in a hospital respiratory unit has a
pressure of 4840 mmHg. What is the pressure of the
oxygen gas in atmospheres?
2 A weather report says that the barometric pressure
is 29.5 inches of mercury. What is this pressure in
atmospheres?
3 Use the kinetic molecular theory to explain why, at
constant temperature, the pressure of a gas increases
as its volume is decreased.
4 Use the kinetic molecular theory to explain why the
pressure of a gas in a fixed-volume container increases
as its temperature is increased.
5 Name three ways by which the volume of a gas can be
decreased.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdd12f312-507b-467d-9e64-e68c72db046c%2F30a49d0c-3019-4a3e-a87e-13dd85dab29b%2Fmbbwksh_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
