(a) At a pressure of 9.00 * 10-14 atm and an ordinary temperature of 300.0 K, how many molecules are present in a volume of 1.00 cm3? (b) How many molecules would be present at the same temperature but at 1.00 atm instead?

An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)
An ideal gas initially at 300 K undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kPa. If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?
How many moles of air are in a regular 1.0-L water bottle when you finish drinking the water? Assume that the air is ideal gas, the temperature of the air is 20∘C, and its pressure is 1.0 atm.
In an ultrahigh vacuum system (with typical pressures lower than 10-7 pascal), the pressure is measured to be 1.00 x 10-10 torr (where 1 torr = 133 Pa). Assuming the temperature is 310 K, find the number of molecules in a volume of 1.00 m3.
Why is the following situation impossible? An apparatus is designed so that steam initially at T = 150°C, P = 1.00 atm, and V = 0.500 m3 in a piston–cylinder apparatus undergoes a process in which (1) the volume remains constant and the pressure drops to 0.870 atm, followed by (2) an expansion in which the pressure remains constant and the volume increases to 1.00 m3, followed by (3) a return to the initial conditions. It is important that the pressure of the gas never fall below 0.850 atm so that the piston will support a delicate and very expensive part of the apparatus. Without such support, the delicate apparatus can be severely damaged and rendered useless. When the design is turned into a working prototype, it operatesperfectly.

The law of a confined ideal gas is P V = k T, where P is pressure, V is the volume, T (in Celsius) is the temperature and k > 0 is the constant. The gas is being heated at a rate of 2ºC/min and the pressure increases at a rate of 0.5 kgf/cm. minute. if in At a certain moment, the temperature is 200 degrees and the pressure is 10 kgf/cm2 , find the rate at which the volume changes for k = 8 answer:the volume describes the rate of 32/5 cm³/min
