A steel container of volume 0.35 L can withstand pressures up to 88 atm before exploding. What mass of helium can be stored in this container at 299 K?
Steel tanks for storage of gases are capable of withstanding pressures greater than 150 . atm. Express this pressure in psi.
(II) A sealed metal container can withstand a pressure difference of 0.50 atm. The container initially is filled with an ideal gas at $18^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 1.0 atm. To what temperature can you cool the container before it collapses? (Ignore any changes in the container's volume due to thermal expansion.)
