Heliox is a helium-oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment. A 6.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1804 psi. A second 6.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 479.4 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 6.25 L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank? Assume ideal gas behavior. P = psi

A certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855 L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25C and the barometric pressure is 730 torr. The balloon then rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605 torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000 ft?
Many common liquids have boiling points that are less than 1100C, whereas most metals are solids at room temperature and have much higher boiling points. The boiling point of bromoethane, C2H5Br, is 380C. What is the equivalent Kelvin temperature? The boiling point of aluminum is 2740 K. what is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to treat patients with carbon monoxide poisoning as well as to treat divers with the bends. In hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a patient is placed inside a 7.0-ft cylinder with a 3.0-ft diameter, which is then filled with oxygen gas to a total pressure of 2.50 atm. Assuming the patient takes up 32.0% of the chambers volume , what volume of O2(g) from a gas cylinder at 25 C and 95 atm is required to fill the chamber to a total pressure of 2.50 atm at 25 C7 Assume the hyperbaric chamber initially contains air at 1.00 atm before O2(g) is added.
Helium condenses to a liquid at 4.224 K under atmospheric pressure and remains a liquid down to the absolute zero of temperature. (It is used as a coolant to reach very low temperatures.) The vapor pressure of liquid helium at 2.20 K is 0.05256 atm. Calculate the volume occupied by 1.000 mol helium vapor under these conditions and compare it with the volume of the same amount of helium at standard temperature and pressure.
