Ideal Gas Law

Ideal gas law states that the product of pressure and volume of a gas directly varies with the product of the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and the temperature of the gas.

Imagine that you have air in a sealed glass container that has a volume of 1 liter. The pressure inside the container is 1013 hPa and the temperature is 20◦C. You now inject cloud droplets into the chamber without letting any air leak out. The droplets have a radius of 10 micrometers, and you inject a concentration of drops that is typical of what you find in a cloud (200 drops per cm3). Will there be a change in the gas pressure? If so, by what amount? Please provide a calculation. What does your answer tell you about the presence of particles in the atmosphere and their potential influence on pressure?

The density of the atmosphere varies drastically with height, but you can use an average density from sea floor to the space in order to calculate its height. If we approximate this average density to be = 1 Kg/m³, what would be height of the atmosphere? HINT: Since the atmosphere is a fluid (in gas form), you can use the hydrostatic pressure formula (P pgh), just solve for h and use P = 1 atm. BTW, this is how the edge of space is defined, if you make it pass the height of the atmosphere you have reached space :)
The density of the atmosphere at sea level is 1.29kg/m3. Assume that it does not change with altitude. Then how high would the atmosphere extend?
