Step 1
The pressure is given in psi (pounds per square inch), and the temperature is given in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The volume is given in cubic feet. We need to convert these to pascals (Pa) for pressure, kelvin (K) for temperature, and cubic meters (m³) for Show more…

A I $\mathrm{dm}^{3}$ sample of air at a pressure of $1 \mathrm{~atm}$ and $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ weighs $0.012 \mathrm{~kg}$. Calculate the effective molecular weight of air (in $g / \mathrm{mol}$ ) if air behaves as an ideal gas. (a) $29.6$ (b) $30.6$ (c) $28.6$ (d) $31.6$
Consider air at P = 1.00 atm. The average molecular mass of air is approximately 29 u. Boltzmann constant is 1.380 × 10^(-23) J/K. a. What is the mass density of air at T = -26.0°C? b. What is the mass density of air at T = 22.0°C? Please answer in kg/m^3.

(a) If air at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $25 \%$ oxygen and $75 \%$ nitrogen and atmospheric pressure is $101.3 \mathrm{kPa}$, estimate the density of air at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (b) If the air described in part (a) is compressed into a $1.5-\mathrm{m}^{3}$ tank with an absolute pressure of $210 \mathrm{kPa}$ and temperature of $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ what is the weight of the air in the tank? (c) If the relative humidity of air is measured as $85 \%$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, estimate the vapor pressure of water and the temperature at which water condensation will begin to occur.
