The pressure inside an automobile tire is 36.4 pounds per square inch (psi) on a very cold winter day (-36.0 °C). Calculate the tire pressure in the same tire on a very hot summer day (40.5 °C) five months later, assuming that no air escapes from the tire. Hint: you will need to make another reasonable assumption that is not stated here.

A certain amount of chlorine gas was placed inside a cylinder with a movable piston at one end. The initial volume was 3.00 LL and the initial pressure of chlorine was 1.25 atmatm . The piston was pushed down to change the volume to 1.00 LL. Calculate the final pressure of the gas if the temperature and number of moles of chlorine remain constant.. (Figure 1) Express your answer with the appropriate units.
5. After blowing up a balloon, a student was curious what the partial pressure of each gas was in the balloon. A barometer reading indicated the total pressure was 748 mmHg. Given the molar composition of dry air is 78.08% N,, 20.95% 02, 0.93% Ar and 0.04% CO,, what is the partial pressure of each gas in the balloon?
How many moles of gas must be forced into a 3.1 LL ball to give it a gauge pressure of 8.4 psipsi at 23 ∘C∘C? The gauge pressure is relative to atmospheric pressure. Assume that atmospheric pressure is 14.6 psipsi so that the total pressure in the ball is 23.0 psipsi .
A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 29.8 L at a pressure of 753 mmHg and a temperature of 25.3 ∘C. The balloon rises in the atmosphere to an altitude where the pressure is 390. mmHg and the temperature is -16.7 ∘C. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.
2. Calculate the pressure of a sample of gas collected over water at 25°C if the atmospheric pressure is 0.948 atm. 1 atm = 760 mm Hg.
Space probes to Mars have shown that its atmosphere consists mostly of carbon dioxide. The average temperature on the surface of Mars is –55°C with a pressure of 0.00634 atm. Compare the density of CO2 on Mars’s surface with that on the Earth’s surface at 20°C and one atmosphere. (density on mars/density on earth=blank/1)
A student obtained a mass of 0.266 g CO2 during his experiment. The atmospheric pressure was 751.6 mmHg and the laboratory temperature was 24.1 °C. The flask used in the experiment had a volume of 146.5 mL. Calculate the molar mass of CO2 from the data. Hint: You cannot use the molar mass of CO2 in your calculation since this is what you are looking for... You need to used the ideal gas law to determine the number of moles of CO2, then do the ratio of grams of CO2 over moles of CO2 to determine the experimental molar mass of CO2.
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?
