Problem #1: During the pandemic, people who are angry sometimes say that they feel as if they’ll explode and having a
hard time to breathe. If a calm person with a lung capacity of 3.5 liters and a body temperature of 35.6 degrees Celsius
gets angry, what will the volume of the person’s lungs be if unfortunately gets infected by the virus and their
temperature rises to 39 degrees Celsius. Based on this, do you think it’s likely they’re condition to gets worst or
“explode”?

Problem #2: You are working on an underwater facility which can hold a volume of volume of 1.2 x 107 L has an internal
pressure of 1.0 atm and an internal temperature of 59 ◦C. Moving to the deeper part of the facility to a depth where the
pressure is 125 atm and the temperature is 20 C, what will the volume of the gas inside be if you are to compare it to
upper level? Will it cause any concern to be kept in mind?

Problem #3: In a birthday party where balloons are very popular, one birthday balloon may hold a volume of 2.50 L of gas
and contains 11.95 moles of gas. If the pressure I around 1.43 atm, at what temperature could you store these balloons
to prevent unexpected popping?
Problem #4: Following a simple reaction between hydrogen and oxygen gas to form water: 2H2 + O2 → 2 H2O

How many liters of water can be made from 78 grams of oxygen ad an excess hydrogen at a pressure of 14.4 atm and
temperature of 41◦C?

Problem #5: In a science laboratory, a group of scientists would like to test the reaction of argon and ethane (C2H6)
vapor. A 2.00 L cylindrical container is filled with 3.50 g of argon at 60 ◦C. Ethane vapor is the added to the same
container until the total pressure reached to 2.50 atm. Calculate the mass of ethane that was added in the container?

Problem #6: Discovering the deepest seas requires professional deep-sea divers to use special tanks with Heliox- a diving
gas mix that may have a typically less of oxygen as regular air but completely replaces the nitrogen with helium for their
safety and support underwater. If a diver travels 150 meters below sea level, they may experience the weight of around
10 atm. Their 10-liter tanks contain 55.3 g of O2 and 330.6 g of He as trace gases. As they descend into the sea floor,
what would be the partial pressure of oxygen and helium and the total pressure in the container at a temperature of 18 ◦C?
