Question
A space vehicle of internal volume 3.0 m3 is struck by a meteor and a hole of radius 0.10 mm is formed. If the oxygen pressure within the vehicle is initially 80 kPa and its temperature 298 K, how long will the pressure take to fall to 70 kPa assuming that the temperature is held constant ?

- A piece of metal weighing 0.713 g was placed in an eudiometer containing aqueous HCI. After the metal fully dissolved ,23.5 mL of hydrogen gas was collected by displacement of water and a 400 mm column of water was observed. The water temperature was 25 degrees Celcius and the barometric pressure was 758.8 mm Hg ( torr). Refer to the introduction and data sheet to solve the following problems. Calculate the pressure of the hydrogen gas above the water in the column.
