Chapter 9: Q9 E (page 506)
The pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the planet Venus is about 88.8 atm. Compare that pressure in psi to the normal pressure on earth at sea level in psi.
The pressure on planet Venus is 1305lb / in2
The normal pressure on earth at sea level is 14.7lb / in2

Why do some small bridges have weight limits that depend on how many wheels or axles the crossing vehicle has?
During the Viking landings on Mars, the atmospheric pressure was determined to be on average about 6.50 millibars (1 bar = 0.987 atm). What is that pressure in torr and kPa?
A typical barometric pressure in Denver, Colorado, is 615mm Hg. What is this pressure in atmospheres and kilopascals?
Question: Under which of the following sets of conditions does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas, and for which conditions is a real gas expected to deviate from ideal behaviour? Explain.
(a) high pressure, small volume
(b) high temperature, low pressure
(c) low temperature, high pressure
A balloon that is \(100.21\;{\rm{L}}\) at \({21^\circ }{\rm{C}}\)and \(0.981\)\({\bf{atm}}\) is released and just barely clears the top of Mount Crumpet in British Columbia. If the final volume of the balloon is \(144.53\;{\rm{L}}\) at a temperature of \({5.24^\circ }{\rm{C}}\), what is the pressure experienced by the balloon as it clears Mount Crumpet?
