Problem to be solved and to be checked using Boyle's Law equation: In a J-shaped tube filled with mercury, initially, mercury levels in both limbs are the same. The initial volume of the trapped gas in the closed end is 0.50 L. The volume of the gas decreases to 0.30 L after the addition of mercury from the open end of the tube. Take note that the opened end of the tube is subjected to the atmosphere; thus, the initial pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 780 mmHg). What will be the final pressure after the changes of the volume happened?

A 0.5347 g sample of cinnamaldehyde, a compound that contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and has the fragrance of cinnamon was combusted in a flow of excess oxygen. The carbon dioxide collected had a mass of 1.6024 g and the water collected had a mass of 0.2916 g. When cinnamaldehyde was vaporized in a 254.00 mL flask at 100.0 °C and 1.044 bar, the vapour was found to have a mass of 1.1302 g. Given a molar mass for cinnamaldehyde of 132.2 g/mol, what is the molecular formula of cinnamaldehyde?
Please explain.I figured that the pressure is the force generated by atom/molecules hitting the sides of the container, but i'm not too sure of temperature. The pressure and temperature of a gas is determined by which of the following the potential energy of the atoms/molecules atoms/molecules hitting the sides of their container the average speed of the atoms/molecules the total distance an atom/molecule travels before colliding with another atom/molecule

Consider the lungs, which can be modeled on a very basic level as a 5.0 L container of a mixture of N2 and O2 gases at 298 K. a) Calculate the pressure inside your lungs if filled with 0.15 mol the gas mixture described above, assuming it behaves ideally. b) Is it reasonable to assume that this gas mixture behaves ideally under these conditions? Why or why not?
