The image below illustrates a simple barometer consisting of a glass tube sitting in an open dish of mercury. What happens to the height of the mercury in the tube if the atmospheric pressure increases? There is not enough information to determine how the height of the mercury in the tube changes. The height of the mercury in the tube remains the same. The height of the mercury in the tube decreases. The height of the mercury in the tube increases.

The air that we breathe is a combination of many gasses. Which gas is makes up the majority of our air?
Breathing is an application of Boyle's law (Figure 10.8). As the diaphragm muscle beneath our lungs contracts, the pressure inside our lungs decreases, causing air to rush into our mouth and nasal passages to fill the lungs. When the diaphragm muscle relaxes, it increases the air pressure, causing air to be expelled from the lungs. A typical lung volume is 3.50 liters (L). Air pressure inside the lungs changes by approximately 0.040 atm. A sample of air has a volume of 3.50 L at 1.00 atm. But how do we determine the volume of this air sample if the pressure is changed to 0.960 atm at constant temperature?
Magnesium metal is reacted with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. A sample of hydrogen gas is collected over water in a eudiometer at 28.0°C. The atmospheric pressure is 761 mmHg. Determine the pressure (in atm) of the hydrogen gas produced.
Hydrogen is collected over water. If the total pressure is 792 mmHg and the pressure caused by water vapor is 25.6 mmHg, what is the pressure caused by the hydrogen gas?
An experimenter had a gas container that could change its volume. Several times, after setting the container to different volumes and letting the temperature reach room temperature, he measured the pressure at each different volume. Sketch what a graph of volume vs. pressure would look like.
A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 26.8 L at a pressure of 736mmHg and a temperature of 30.7 degrees Celsius. The balloon rises in the atmosphere to an altitude where the pressure is 360 mmHg and the temperature is -14.7 degrees Celsius. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.
Using these formulas pressure at sea level =760 mmHg and P1V1=P2V2
Determine the final volume the gas occupies.
Two students perfomed an experiment on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. One student was in Wisconsin where the atmospheric pressure was 0.996 atm. The other was in Colorado, where the atmospheric pressure was 0.832 atm. Both reactions were performed at the same temperature and produced the same number of moles of oxygen gas. How do the volumes of gases collected compare? Are they the same or not? Explain.
Hydrogen gas is produced when magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid. In the lab, a student collects 0.002581 g of hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer at 23°C. The atmospheric pressure is 794 mmHg. What volume (in mL) of dry hydrogen gas would be collected? Water Vapor Temperature °C Pressure (mmHg) 19 16.5 21 18.7 Volume of dry gas = mL 23 21.1 25 23.8 27 26.7 29 30.0
