The density of water at 0 °C is very nearly 1000 kg/m3 (it is actually 999.84 kg/m3 ), whereas the density of ice at 0 °C is 917 kg/m3. Calculate the pressure necessary to keep ice from expanding when it freezes, neglecting the effect such a large pressure would have on the freezing temperature. (This problem gives you only an indication of how large the forces associated with freezing water might be.)

Why does rubbing alcohol evaporate much more rapidly than water at STP (standard temperature and pressure)?
At an altitude of 11,000 m (a typical cruising altitude for a jet airliner), the air temperature is -60.0 ∘C and the air density is 0.491 kg/m3. The molar mass of air is 28.8 g/mol. What is the pressure of the atmosphere at that altitude? (Note: The temperature at this altitude is not the same as at the surface of the earth, so the equation P=P0exp(−MgyRT) doesn't apply.)
What is the ratio of the multiplicity of water vapor at 100∘C to that of liquid water at 100∘C for 1.0 g of water at a pressure of 1.0 atm? Give your answer as a power of 10.
In a shooting range, a soldier fired his rifle. If the barrel of the rifle is 58 cm long and has an opening of 275 mm, what is the average pressure of the expanding gas that propelled the 260-mg bullet? Ignore friction and assume that the speed of the bullet after passing through the length of the barrel is 375 m/s.
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.
Suppose you have a large hot air balloon, open at the bottom but filled with air that is heated to 50 °C while the outside air is 10 °C. What can you say about the air inside the balloon and how much it can lift? The density of air is surprisingly high: 1.23 kg/m3, an average hot air balloon has a volume of 3000 m3 , and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The density is higher by the factor (273 + 50)/(273+10) = 1.14 and therefore will not have a buoyant force and will not lift off the ground with any load. The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.88 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 32,000 N. The density is lower by the factor (273 + 10)/(273+50) = 0.88 and therefore will have a buoyant force of 0.12 times the weight of the air it replaced, or about 4300 N. The density is the same but the pressure of the hot air is higher by (273 + 50)/(273+10) =…
You buy an "airtight" bag of potato chips packaged at sea level, and take the chips on an airplane flight. When you take the potato chips out of your "carry-on" bag, you notice it has noticeably "puffed up." Airplane cabins are typically pressurized at 0.90 atm, and assuming the temperature inside an airplane is about the same as inside a potato chip processing plant, by what percentage has the bag "puffed up" in comparison to when it was packaged? Express your answer using two significant figures. (V2−V1)/V1= ?
