Interpretation:
The depth of the water present in the lake is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The combination of gas lawsgives the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles. The expression is given as:
The conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to kelvin can be done by using the formula given below:
The pressure applied by a fluid in the column is calculated by the expression, which isas:
Here, P represents pressure that is in Pa, h denotes height of the column that is in meters, d represents density of the liquid that is in the

- 1.The gases in a hair spray can are at a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 30 psi. If the gases in the can reach a pressure of 90 psi, the can will explode. At what temperature will the can explode? 2. Practice Problem: A gas has a T of 400 K and a V of 2.6 L. At what T will the V be 1.5 L?arrow_forwardProblem 1.20. Uranium has two common isotopes, with atomic masses of 238 and 235. One way to separate these isotopes is to combine the uranium with fluorine to make uranium hexafluoride gas, UF6, then exploit the difference in the average thermal speeds of molecules containing the different isotopes. Calculate the rms speed of each type of molecule at room temperature, and compare them.arrow_forwardProblem: The three main components of air are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen. In a sample containing a mixture of these gases (at STP) the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and nitrogen are given as 28.5 mmHg and 593.525 mmHg, respectively. 1. What is the partial pressure of oxygen? 2. What gas law should be applied in solving Problem 1?arrow_forward
