1.1. In the table below, a number in the top row represents the pressure of a gas in the
bulb of a constant-volume gas thermometer (corrected for dead space, thermal
expansion of bulb, etc.) when the bulb is immersed in a water triple-point cell. The
bottom row represents the corresponding readings of pressure when the bulb is
surrounded by a material at a constant unknown temperature. Calculate the ideal-

This physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.

What is the volume of air you would need in the space station if these four astronauts stayed for a full year? b.
