Chapter 1, Problem 59P
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.)

- 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.
