1. An expensive vacuum system used in my laboratory can achieve a pressure of 1.2 × 10⁻⁷ N/m² at 18°C. How many molecules are there in a cubic centimeter at this pressure and temperature?
2. A bicycle tire contains 2.0L of gas at an absolute pressure of 7.00×10⁵ N/m² and a temperature of 18°C. What will its pressure pressure be if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 100cm³ at atmospheric pressure? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant.
3. Five bicyclists are riding at the following speeds: 5.2 m/s, 5.7 m/s, 5.9 m/s, 6.2 m/s, and 6.5 m/s. What is their average speed and what is their RMS speed?
4. How much heat must be added to raise the temperature of 1.25mol of air from 25.0°C to 33.0°C at constant volume? Assume air is completely diatomic. Repeat the problem for the same number of moles of Xenon, Xe a noble gas.
5. A sealed room has a volume of 25m³. It’s filled with air, which may be assumed to be diatomic, at a temperature 18.0°C and a pressure of 9.90 × 10⁴ Pa. A 0.50kg block of ice at its melting point is placed in the room. Assume the walls of the room transfer no heat. What is the equilibrium temperature?
