The air pressure in the tires of an automobile is adjusted to 37.0 psi at a gas station in San Diego, where the air temperature is 68°F. The air in the tires is at the same temperature as the atmosphere. The automobile is then driven east along a hot desert highway, and the temperature inside the tires reaches 129 °F. What is the pressure in the tires?

The temperature difference between day and night on Mars is much bigger than on Earth, due to its low atmospheric pressure. As mentioned above, the daytime temperature at the equator in summer on Mars is about 21oC. At night, it drops to about – 73oC! A syringe contains a sample of a gas with a volume of 12.0 mL during the day (21oC). What volume will the gas occupy at nighttime (– 73oC)?
The air pressure in the tires of an automobile is adjusted to 32.0 psi at a gas station in San Diego, where the air temperature is 68°F. The air in the tires is at the same temperature as the atmosphere. The automobile is then driven east along a hot desert highway, and the temperature inside the tires reaches 156 °F. What is the pressure in the tires?
A 1.20 L weather balloon on the ground has a temperature of 25.0°C and is at atmospheric pressure (1.00 atm). When it rises to an elevation where the pressure is 0.710 atm, then the new volume is 1.80 L. What is the temperature (in °C) of the air at this elevation?
A 1.20 L weather balloon on the ground has a temperature of 25.0°C and is at atmospheric pressure (1.00 atm). When it rises to an elevation where the pressure is 0.740 atm, then the new volume is 1.80 L. What is the temperature (in °C) of the air at this elevation?
A 3.13 g block of dry ice (solid CO2) is placed in a sealed flask, where it sublimes and returns to its gaseous form. The molar density after sublimation is 52.4 mmol/L. Assuming a constant temperature of 26.0°C, what is the pressure inside the flask in psi once all the CO2 sublimes?
A sample of oxygen gas was collected via water displacement. Since the oxygen was collected via water displacement, the sample is saturated with water vapor. If the total pressure of the mixture at 26.4 °C is 791 torr, what is the partial pressure of oxygen? The vapor pressure of water at 26.4 °C is 25.81 mm Hg.
You have a 3.00-liter container filled with N₂ at 25 °C and 3.35 atm pressure connected to a 2.00-liter container filled with Ar at 25 °C and 2.75 atm pressure. A stopcock connecting the containers is opened and the gases are allowed to equilibrate between the two containers. What is the final pressure (in atm) in the two containers if the temperature remains at 25 °C? Assume ideal behavior.
Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. A closed container of volume 3.00 x 103 mL contains chlorine gas at 27 °C and 1.25 x 103 torr. Then 6.90 g of solid sodium is introduced, and the reaction goes to completion. What is the final pressure (in atm) inside the container if the temperature rises to 47 °C.
An airplane is pressurized with air to 660 mmHg. If air is 21% oxygen, what is the partial pressure of oxygen on the plane? If the partial pressure of oxygen drops below 105 mmHg, passengers become drowsy. If this happens, oxygen masks are released. What is the total cabin pressure at which oxygen masks are dropped?
For many purposes we can treat ammonia (NH3). as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -33. °C. Suppose the pressure on a 6.0 m³ sample of ammonia gas at -14.0°C is doubled. Is it possible to change the temperature of the ammonia at the same time such that the volume of the gas doesn't change? If you answered yes, calculate the new temperature of the gas. Round your answer to the nearest °C. yes no пос x10 X
