At the critical point for carbon dioxide, the substance is very far from being an ideal gas. Prove this statement by calculating the density of an ideal gas in g/cm3 at the conditions of the critical point and comparing it with the experimental value. Compute the experimental value from the fact that a mole of CO2 at its critical point occupies 94 cm3.

From these data alone (without making use of the perfect gas law), determine the absolute zero of temperature in degrees Celsius.
The effect of high pressure on organisms, including humans, is studied to gain information about deep-sea diving and anaesthesia. A sample of air occupies 1.00 dm3 at 25°c and 1.00 atm. What pressure is needed to compress it to 100 cm3 at this temperature?

High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a method used in chemistry and biochemistry to purify chemical substances. The pressures used in this procedure range from around 500 kilopascals (500,000 Pa) to about 60,000 kPa (60,000,000 Pa). It is often convenient to know the pressure in torr. If an HPLC procedure is running at a pressure of 1.45x107 Pa, what is its running pressure in torr? Express the pressure numerically in torr. ► View Available Hint(s) 1.45x107 Pa = VE ΑΣΦ ? torr
