At standard temperature and pressure, a gas has a density of 0.089 kg/m3. What volume (in m3) does 1.84 kg of hydrogen occupy at standard temperature and pressure [round your final answer to one decimal place]?
A simple thermometer is formed by taking a large spherical container of volume 1.13m³ and filling it with an ideal gas. Then, a U-shaped tube is attached that is very narrow so that very little fluid/gas can fit inside the tube. The tube has a small quantity of a fluid of density 1200kg/m³ placed in it. In equilibrium at room temperature - 21.9°C - the height of the fluid on both sides of the U-shaped tube are level. This is illustrated in the image below. What is the temperature of the gas in the spherical container when the left side of the fluid is 13.25cm higher than the right side of the fluid in the U-shaped tube? Atmospheric pressure is 101000Pa. °C

Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.13 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 120-L tank at -45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?
