The density of a gas is 0.417 kg/m^3. What is the specific volume of the gas?
A gas is held in a container with volume 516 cm3. If the pressure of the gas inside the container is 100 kPa, what is the pressure of the gas, in the unit of kPa, when it is expanded to 733 cm3? Assume that the temperature of the gas does not change.
Flow rate is expressed as gas velocity in cm/s. The gas is flowing through an open tubular column with an inner diameter of 0.25 mm. What volume flow rate (mL/min) corresponds to a gas velocity of 50 cm/s? (The volume of a cylinder is pr2 3 length, where r is the radius.)
