Using the ideal gas law, calculate the density of water vapor in g/m3 that creates a partial pressure equal to this vapor pressure. The result should be the same as the saturation vapor density at that temperature (51.1 g/m3).
A constant-volume gas thermometer contains a fixed amount of gas. What property of the gas is measured to indicate its temperature?
Question: A pressure cooker contains water and steam in equilibrium at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. How does this greater pressure increase cooking speed?
Question: Convert an absolute pressure of to gauge pressure in (This value was stated to be just less than in Example 13.9. Is it?)
Question: A high-pressure gas cylinder contains of toxic gas at a pressure of and a temperature of . Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature () to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? (b) What is the final pressure if one-tenth of the gas escapes? (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? (d) Does cooling the tank appear to be a practical solution?
