5) Two moles of an oxygen gas (O₂) are put in a container with a volume of 0.0025m³. If the temperature of
the gas is at 305°C, find the pressure of the gas.
2. Nutrients dissolved in water are carried to upper parts of plants by tiny tubes partly because of
the capillary effect. Determine how high the water solution will rise in a tree in a 0.0026-mm-
diameter tube as a result of the capillary effect. Treat the solution as water at 20 °C with a contact
angle of 15°. Take the surface tension of water at 20 °C as os = 0.073 N/m and density of water
solution to be 1000 kg/m³.
