5E. When a mercury-in-glass thermometer is overheated, thetop will break off due to the pressure increase from theexpansion of mercury which has completed filled the volume ofthe capillary. A thick, well-tempered glass tube may withstand amaximum pressure of 50 atm without breaking. How far can athermometer be heated past the temperature at which a capillaryis filled before the pressure becomes this large?For mercury, a=1.8x10ª K' and K=3.9x106 atm"'

On a chilly 10°C day, you quickly take a deep breath—all your lungs can hold, 4.0 L. The air warms to your body temperature of 37°C. If the air starts at a pressure of 1.0 atm, and you hold the volume of your lungs constant (a good approximation) and the number of molecules in your lungs stays constant aswell (also a good approximation), what is the increase in pressure inside your lungs?
Container A contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 5 × 10° Pa and at a temperature of 300 K. It is connected by a thin tube to container B which is four times the volume of A, and contains the same ideal gas at a pressure of 1 x 105 Pa at a temperature of 400 K. The connecting valve is opened, and equilibrium is achieved at a common pressure while the temperature of each container is kept constant at its initial value. What is the final pressure in the system?
