Two containers of equal volume each hold samples of the same ideal gas. Container A has 2 times as many molecules as container B. If the gas pressure is the same in the two containers, find the ratio of the the absolute temperatures TA and TB ( i.e TA / TB ) . Calculate to 2 decimals.
The volume V of an ideal gas varies directly with the temperature T and inversely with the pressure P. If a cylinder of 50 liters contains oxygen at a temperature of 200 K and a pressure of 5 atmospheres, what would the gas pressure be if the volume was changed to 30 liters and the temperature raised to 240 K?
A closed 1 L water bottle contains air at standard temperature and pressure. The bottle is left in a room for a few hours, and the sun heats up the bottle to 30oC. What is the new pressure inside the bottle? Give an answer in atm with 3 digits of precision behind the decimal.
