Methane, which constitutes the majority of natural gas, is sometimes stored in condensation tanks in an oil and gas field. If the vaporirzed methane above the liquid is at a temperature of 28.9˚C on a hot summer day with a density of 2.05 kg/m3, at what pressure in Pascals would the gas be? The specific gas constant for methane is 518 J/(kg K).

An airtight dispenser for drinking water is 25 cm × 10 cm in horizontal dimensions and 20 cm tall. It has a tap of negligible volume that opens at the level of the bottom of the dispenser. Initially, it contains Water to a level 3.0 cm from the top and air at the ambient pressure, 1.00 atm, from there to the top. When the tap is opened, water will flow out until the gauge pressure at the bottom of dispenser, and thus at the opening of the tap, is 0. What volume of water flows out? Assume the temperature is constant, the dispenser is perfectly rigid, and the water has a constant density of 1000 kg/m3.
