- A 20.0-L tank of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is at a pressure of 9.50 105 Pa and temperature of 19.0C (a) Calculate the temperature of the gas in Kelvin. (b) Use the ideal gas law to calculate the number of moles of gas in the tank. (c) Use the periodic table to compute the molecular weight of carbon dioxide, expressing it in grams per mole. (d) Obtain the number of grains of carbon dioxide in the tank. (e) A fire breaks out, raising the ambient temperature by 224.0 K while 82.0 g of gas leak out of the tank. Calculate the new temperature and the number of moles of gas remaining in the tank. (f) Using a technique analogous to that in Example 10.6b, find a symbolic expression for the final pressure, neglecting the change in volume of the tank. (g) Calculate the final pressure in the tank as a result of the fire and leakage.arrow_forward(a) Construct a table showing the macro states and all of the individual microstates for tossing 13 coins. (Use Table 15.5 as a guide.) (b) How many macro states are there? (c) What is the total number of microstates? (d) What percent chance is here of tossing 5 heads and 1 tail? (e) How much more likely are you to toss 3 heads and 3 tails than 5 heads and 1 tail? (Take me ratio of the number of microstates to find out.)arrow_forwardFor each of the following scenarios, refer to Figure 1.4 and Table 1.2 to determine which metric prefix on the meter is most appropriate for each of the following scenarios.
