Chapter 1, Problem 1.70E
The barometric formula can also be used for elevations below sea level. In such cases, h is negative. Calculate the expected air pressure at the shore of the Dead Sea in the Middle East, which is 432 meters below sea level. Assume a temperature of 39.0 °C.

Why is it that real gases do not behave as ideal gases at very low temperatures?
This is the expression valid for van der Waals gases. Calculate the final temperature if the Joule’sfree expansion experiment was carried out to double the volume of 10 mL gas at 25 °C with a) Heb) CO2 molecules. The van der Waals coefficients, a, for He and CO2 are 0.0346 and 3.658,respectively. (Hint: Use equipartition to calculate Cv values and assume three of the vibrations notpopulated in carbon dioxide)
