An airtight dispenser for drinking water is 25 cm × 10 cm in horizontal dimensions and 20 cm tall. It has a tap of negligible volume that opens at the level of the bottom of the dispenser. Initially, it contains Water to a level 3.0 cm from the top and air at the ambient pressure, 1.00 atm, from there to the top. When the tap is opened, water will flow out until the gauge pressure at the bottom of dispenser, and thus at the opening of the tap, is 0. What volume of water flows out? Assume the temperature is constant, the dispenser is perfectly rigid, and the water has a constant density of 1000 kg/m3.
Using a numerical integration method such as Simpson's rule, find the fraction of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at a temperature of 250 K that have speeds between 100 m/s and 150 m/s. The molar mass of oxygen (O2) is 32.0 g/mol. A precision to two significant digits is enough.

A car engine moves a piston with a circular cross-section of 73000.002cm in diameter a distance of 3.2500.001cm to compress the gas in the cylinder. (a) By what amount is the gas decreased in volume in cubic centimeters? (b) Find the uncertainty in this volume.
Check Your Understanding Liquids and solids have densities on the order of 1000 greater than gases. Explain how this implies that the distances between molecules in gases are on the order of 10 times greater than the size of their molecules.
A liquid with a coefficient of volume expansion just fills a spherical shell of volume V (Fig. P16.53). The shell and the open capillary of area A projecting from the top of the sphere are made of a material with an average coefficient of linear expansion . The liquid is free to expand into the capillary. Assuming the temperature increases by T, find the distance h the liquid rises in the capillary.
The inside volume of a house is equivalent to that of a rectangular solid 13.0 m wide by 200 m long by 2.75 m high. The house is heated by a forced air gas heater. The main uptake air duct of heater is 0.300 m in diameter. What is the average speed of the duct if it carries a volume equal to that of the house’s interior every 15 minutes?

Small differences in gas pressures are commonly measured with a micro-manometer of the type illustrated in Fig. (3). This device consists of two large reservoirs each having a cross sectional area A, which are filled with a liquid having a specific weight Y1 and connected by a U-tube of cross-sectional area A, containing a liquid of specific weight y2. When a differential gas pressure, P, - P2 , is applied, a differential reading, h, develops. It is desired to have this reading sufficiently large (so that it can be easily read) for small pressure At differentials. Determine the relationship between h and P1 P, when the area ratio is small, and show Ar that the differential reading, h, can be magnified by making the difference in specific weights, Y2 - Y1 , small. Assume that initially (with P = 2P2). %3D P1 P2 Y1 Figure (3)
