Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.

6. = An airplane altimeter is a gauge that indicates the height of the plane above the ground. The gauge works based on air pressure, according to the formula h 18400 log(), where h is the height of the airplane above the ground in metres, P is the air pressure at height h, and P。 is the air pressure at ground level. Air pressure is measured in kilopascals (kPa). a. b. Air pressure at the ground is 102 kPa. If the air pressure outside the airplane is 30 kPa, what is the altitude of the airplane, to the nearest metre? If the plane is flying at 11 000 m, what is the air pressure outside, to one decimal?
a. The mean pressure of the surface of the Earth is 984 mbar, slightly less than the mean pressure at sea level, 1013 mbar. Use the barometric law (2.81) to calculate the mean altitude of the surface above sea level.b. Calculate the total mass of the atmosphere by considering that Force = Pressure * Area. The downward force of the atmosphere, by Newton’s Law, is the mass of the atmosphere times the acceleration of gravity. The mean pressure can be found above, and the area is the surface area of the earth. Use the average molecular weight of the atmosphere to calculate the number of moles of gas in the atmosphere.c. Use the number of moles of gas in the atmosphere and the mole fraction of N2O (Table 3.19) to calculate the number of moles and mass of N2O in the atmosphere.
What is the pressure of the gas in the cylinder, in kPa (kiloPascal)? Pmercury = 13,600 kg/m3, 1.0 atm = 1.00 x 105 Pa = 100 kPa, and g = 10.0 m/s?. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Pgas -Mercury 16 cm 6 cm

Variation of Pressure in the atmosphere. The pressure of the atmosphere decreases as we move higher in the atmosphere. The decrease in pressure is proportional to the decrease in density of air. р = 2|2° P P Where P = pressure at any point in the atmosphere, and p = density of air at any point in the atmosphere Po pressure at sea level = 1.013 x 105 Pa, and Po air density at sea level = 1.3 kg/m³. a) What is the density p in terms of po, P, and Po? b) Start from the formula dP = - p g dy to determine the pressure at any height y. Note: P is variable c) What is the pressure if the height is 5.0 km above sea level? d) At what height above sea level is the pressure equal to ½ Po ?
