A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures 62.0 cm wide. The biologist estimates she will need 6300. L of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Write your answer in atmospheres. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

A balloon filled with helium gas is found to take 6 hours to deflate to 50% of its original volume. How long will it take for an identical balloon filled with the same volume of hydrogen gas (instead of helium) to decrease its volume by 50%?
Helium-filled balloons rise in the air because the density of helium is less than the density of air. (a) If air has an average molar mass of 29.0 g/mol, what is the density of air at 25C and 770 mm Hg? (b) What is the density of helium at the same temperature and pressure? (c) Would a balloon filled with carbon dioxide at the same temperature and pressure rise?
Densities of gases are usually measured in grams per liter g/L. Calculate the density of air if the mass of 15.7 L is 18.6 g.
Can the speed of a given molecule in a gas double at constant temperature? Explain your answer.
94 Mining engineers often have to deal with gases when planning for the excavation of coal. Some of these gases, including methane, can be captured and used as fuel to support the mining operation. For a particular mine, 2.4 g of CH4 is present for every 100.0 g of coal that is extracted. If 45.6% of the methane can be captured and the daily production of the mine is 580 metric tons of coal, how many moles of methane could be obtained per day?
