Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 47TE
The temperatures in a fractionating tower at an oil refinery are important, but so are the
pressures. Where might the pressure in a fractionating tower be greatest: at the bottom or at the
top? Defend your answer.

Rank the pressures from highest to lowest: (a) bottom of a 20-cmcm-tall container of salt water, (b) bottom of a 20-cmcm-tall container of fresh water, and (c) bottom of a 5-cmcm-tall container of mercury.
The intrepid chemical engineer diver extraordinaire now decides to take their fly skills to dive in the crystal blue 2nd deepest alpine lake in the United States – Lake Tahoe. If they go down to the very bottom of the lake (~500m), what is the pressure? Hint, the air pressure at Lake Tahoe is not 1 atmosphere.
When you swim underwater, the pressure of the water pushes against your chest cavity and subsequently reduces the size of your lungs. At 10 m below the water surface, pressure extered by the water is 14.7 psi. If a swimmer has a lung volume of 6 L at sea level (atmospheric pressure), what would the volume of her lungs be when is at the bottom of a pool that is 5 m deep?

- How do gases differ from liquids?arrow_forwardThere is a maximum depth at which a diver can breathe through a snorkel tube because as the depth increases, so does the pressure difference, which tends to collapse the diver’s lungs. Since the snorkel connects the air in the lungs to the atmosphere at the surface, the pressure inside the lungs is atmospheric pressure. What is the external–internal pressure difference when the diver’s lungs are at a depth of 6.1 m (about 20 ft)? Assume that the diver is in freshwater. (A scuba diver breathing from compressed air tanks can operate at greater depths than can a snorkeler, since the pressure of the air inside the scuba diver’s lungs increases to match the external pressure of the water.)arrow_forwardConsider a soap bubble.
