A balloon is filled with helium gas at atmospheric pressure (1 atm) until its volume is 800 m3. The helium gas is then transferred to cylinders that have a volume of 2.3 m3 at a pres- sure of 13.3 atm. Calculate the number of cylinders used. Assume that the temperature of the helium gas remains constant. (1 atm = 1.013 × 105 Pa).

The ideal gas law describes the state of a hypothetical ideal gas, i.e., PV = nRT where P is the pressure in Pascal, V is the volume in liters L, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature in kelvin K, and n is the amount of substance. Suppose a researcher has n = 0.654 moles of neon gas. He observed that T and V are increasing at rates of 3 K/min and 2 L/min, respectively, using the fixed gas constant R= 8.31 J/K.mol, find the rate at which the pressure is changing when V = 12.3 L and T = 447K.
The pressure, volume, and temperature of a mole of an ideal gas are related by the equation PV = 8.31T, where P is measured in kilopascals, V in liters, and T in kelvins. Use differentials to find the approximate change in the pressure (in kPa) if the volume increases from 11 L to 11.6 L and the temperature decreases from 370 K to 360 K. (Note whether the change is positive or negative in your answer. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
