Helium in a steel tank is at 250 kPa, 300 K with a volume of 0.1 m^3 . It is used to fill a balloon. When the pressure drops to 125 kPa, the flow of helium stops by itself. If all the helium is still at 300 K, how big a balloon is produced?

The gauge pressure in your car tires is 2.50×10^5 N/m^2 at a temperature of 35.0ºC when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska. What is their gauge pressure later, when their temperature has dropped to –40.0ºC ?
A container which is air tight has a volume of * 2 * 500L internal pressure of 1.0 atmosphere, internal temperature of 15 °C is washed off ythe deck of a ship located in the Philippine Trench, and sinks to a depth where the pressure is 175 atmosphere and the temperature is 3 °C. What would be the volume in m³ of the gas inside be when the container breaks under the pressure at this depth?
Pressurized carbon dioxide inflators can be used to inflate a bicycletire in the event of a flat. These inflators use metal cartridges thatcontain 16.0 g of carbon dioxide. At 298 K, to what gauge pressure(in psi) can the carbon dioxide in the cartridge inflate a 3.45-Lmountain bike tire? (Note: The gauge pressure is the differencebetween the total pressure and atmospheric pressure. In this case,assume that atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi.)
Hi please help: a bubble with original volume 2.5 cm^3 rises from the bottom of a lake to the surface where it grows to a volume of 5.9cm^3 at a pressure of 1.0 atm. Gas molecules were absorbed by the water as the bubble rose so that only 82% of the original gas is in the 5.9 cm^3 bubble at the surface. The temperature at the bottom is 8.2 degrees Celsius and the temperature at the surface is 23.4 degrees Celsius. Find the pressure at the bottom of the lake (in atm). Use 3 significant figures

A gas is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 50 in² and weight of 100 lbf. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lb/in² on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases slowly by 2 ft. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors, and friction between the piston and cylinder can be neglected. Determine the work done by the gas on the piston, in Btu, and the change in internal energy of the gas, in Btu.
A turbojet is flying with a velocity of 900 ft/s at an altitude of 20,000 ft, where the ambient conditions are 7 psia and 10°F. The pressure ratio across the compressor is 13, and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 2400 R. Assuming ideal operation for all components and constant specific heats for air at room temperature, determine the pressure at the turbine exit.
2. (a) Derive an expression for the density p that results when an air parcel initially at pressure p, and density p, expands adiabatically to pressure p. [~ Holton 2.6] (b) An air parcel that has a temperature of 20°C at the 1000-hPa level is lifted dry adiabatically. What is its density when it reaches the 500-hPa level? [~ Holton 2.7]
A weather balloon is designed to expand to a maximum radius of 22 m at its working altitude, where the air pressure is 0.030 atm and the temperature is 200 K. If the balloon is filled at atmospheric pressure and 309 K, what is its radius at liftoff?
