One process for decaffeinating coffee uses carbon dioxide ( M=44.0 g/mol) at a molar density of about 14,0 mol/m3 and a temperature of about 60 . (a) Is CO2 a solid, liquid, gas, or supercritical fluid under those conditions? (b) The van der Waals constants for carbon dioxide are a=0.3658 Pa m6/mol2 and b=4.286105 m3/mol. Using the van der Waals equation, estimate pressure of CO2 at that temperature and density. `

What is the total translational kinetic energy of the air molecules in a room of volume 23 m3 if the pressure is 9.5104 Pa (the room is at fairly high elevation) and die temperature is 21 ? Is any item of data unnecessary for the solution?
When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV to the power of 1.4 = C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 480 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 75 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 10 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant? Please Write legible
Pretend that you live in the 19th century and don't know the value of Avogadro's number* (or of Boltzmann's constant or of the mass or size of any molecule). Show how you could make a rough estimate of Avogadro's number from a measurement of the thermal conductivity of a gas, together with other measurements that are relatively easy.

In the simple kinetic theory of a gas we discussed in class, the molecules are assumed to be point-like objects (without any volume) so that they rarely collide with one another. In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10 a) 2.1*10-7 m b) 4.2*10-7 m c) none of these.

An SUV tire contains 0.037 m3 of air at a gauge pressure of 2.61 × 105 N/m2. The composition of air is about 78% nitrogen (N2) and 21% oxygen (O2), both diatomic molecules. How much more internal energy, in joules, does the air in the tire have than the same volume of air has at zero gauge pressure outside the tire? Einternal,2−Einternal,1 = ? Hints: -Assume not only equal volumes but also equal temperatures.-Since the temperature is constant, what must be changing in this process?-The heat capacity, and thus the internal energy, depends upon whether gas is monatomic or diatomic.
