(II) A scuba tank is filled with air to a pressure of 204 atm when the air temperature is 29°C. A diver then jumps into the ocean and, after a short time treading water on the ocean surface, checks the tank’s pressure and finds that it is only 194 atm. Assuming the diver has inhaled a negligible amount of air from the tank, what is the temperature of the ocean water?

- A company advertises that it delivers helium at a gauge pressure of 1.72107 Pa in a cylinder of volume 43.8 L. How many balloons can be inflated to a volume of 4.00 L with that amount of helium? Assume the pressure inside the balloons is 1.72105 Pa and the temperature in the cylinder and the balloons is 25.0 .arrow_forwardThe height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.arrow_forwardCalculate the number of moles in the 2.00-L volume of air in the lungs of the average person. Note that the air is at 37.0 (body temperature) and that the total volume in the lungs is several times the amount inhaled in a typical breath as given in Example 2.2.arrow_forward
- In an internal combustion engine, air at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of about 20 C is compressed in the cylinder by a piston to about 1/9 of its original volume. Estimate the temperature of the compressed air, assuming the pressure reaches 40 atm.arrow_forwardLet’s imagine that at the beginning of a journey a truck tire has a volume of 30,000 cm3 and an internal pressure of 170 kPa. The temperature of the tire is 16∘C. By the end of the trip, the volume of the tire has increased to 32,000 cm3 and the temperature of the air inside the tire is 40∘C. What is the tire pressure at the end of the journey?arrow_forwardA concrete highway is built of slabs 18.0 m long (at 18 °C). How wide should the expansion cracks be (at 18 °C) between the slabs to prevent buckling if the annual extreme temperatures are -37 °C and 54 °C?(the coefficient of linear expansion of concrete is 1.20 x 10-5 oc-1)arrow_forward
- The law of a confined ideal gas is P V = k T, where P is pressure, V is the volume, T (in Celsius) is the temperature and k > 0 is the constant. The gas is being heated at a rate of 2ºC/min and the pressure increases at a rate of 0.5 kgf/cm. minute. if in At a certain moment, the temperature is 200 degrees and the pressure is 10 kgf/cm2 , find the rate at which the volume changes for k = 8 answer:the volume describes the rate of 32/5 cm³/minarrow_forwardONLY ANSWER 6 3. A diesel engine powers a boat. The engine’s cylinders each have a cut-offratio (V3/V2) of 2 and the V3 is 4ft3. If 1 cylinder is in the isobaric expansionstroke, find the final temperature if the initial temperature is 540F. 6. From number 3, if the gas tank accident happened on top of Mt. Everest’s summit where patm is only 33.7 kpa and the readings obtained are the same, find the new final temperature.arrow_forwardIf the pressure in a car tire is 2.0 atm at 27°C, what will be the pressure if the temperature warms to 57°C? Assume that the volume of the tire remains constant. A patient with heat stroke has a temperature of 105.8 0 What does this read on a Celsius thermometer?arrow_forward
- The boa constrictor is a cold-blooded snake, meaning it must regulate its body temperature through sunlight and other external sources. If the boa's body temperature can change from 70.50°Fto 85.00°F, by how much can the boa's body temperature change in units of Kelvin? (round to nearest hundredth) _____K If the boa constrictor's temperature decreases by 15.00°C, by how much does it decrease in units of Fahrenheit?
