A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures 75.0 cm wide. The biologist estimates she will need 6500. L of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Write your answer in atmospheres. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Using Table 1.5, calculate the volume of 25.0 g of each of the following substances at 1 atm. a. hydrogen gas b. water c. iron Chapter 5 discusses the properties of gases. One property unique to gases is that they contain mostly empty space. Explain using the results of your calculations.
In the following scenario, identify which of the statements represents a theory, law, or hypothesis. (a) A student exploring the properties of gases proposes that is she decreases the volume of a sample of gas then the pressure exerted by the sample will increase (b) Many scientists over time have conducted similar experiments and have concluded that pressure and volume are inversely proportional. (c) She proposes that the reason this occurs is that if the volume is decreased, more molecules will collide with a given area of the container walls, causing the pressure to be greater.
