- The barometric pressure is about half the sea-level value of 760 mm Hg at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 feet 9,000-10,000 feet 14,000-15000 feet 18,000-19,000 feetarrow_forwardDoes the specific gravity change with a change in temperature? What is your answer? Yes or No?arrow_forwardThe vapour pressure of water at blood temperature is 47 Torr. What is the partial pressure of dry air in our lungs when the total pressure is 760 Torr?arrow_forward
- How to calculate the theoretical volume of cold airarrow_forwardA machine produces 599 L of hydrogen at 101 kpa each day . If each days supply of hydrogen were kept at a pressure of 366 kpa, what would the volume of the hydrogenarrow_forwardCalculate these masses.(a) What is the mass of 8.00 cm 3 of mercury, density = 13.5939 g/cm 3 ?(b) What is the mass of 45.0 mL octane, density = 0.702 g/cm 3 ?arrow_forward
- There are approximately 1022 molecules in a single medium-sized breath of air and approximately 1044 molecules in the atmosphere of the whole Earth. So how many breaths of air are there in the Earth’s atmosphere? How does this number compare with the number of molecules in a single breath?arrow_forwardI took my basketball with 6 liters of air at 3 ATM and went deep sea diving with it. At70 meters, the intense water pressure crushed my ball, and now there are only 2.25 liters in the ball. What is the pressure at my new depth?arrow_forwardHow many kilojoules are released by freezing 2.5 mol of H2O?arrow_forward
- How many moles of chlorine gas at 120. °C and 33.3 atm would occupy a vessel of 39.0 L?arrow_forwardA sample of 8.00 mol of gas in a 10.00 L container is at 45.0 °C. What is the pressure (in atm) of the gas?arrow_forwardIf the trend continues as shown in the data what would the dissolved oxygen level most likely be if the temperature of the water was 35C?arrow_forward
