    Suppose you start your day in Denver, on a cool 10∘C spring day. The local atmospheric pressure is 85 kPa. You fill your car's tires until the gauge shows 210 kPa (about 30 psi). You then drive up to Fairplay, Colorado, where the atmospheric pressure is lower-- 70 kPa --and the temperature drops to 0∘C. When you finish lunch, you check your tire pressure. A. What does the gauge read? and Units. Please show the math on how to solve...

    On a certain hot day the atmospheric pressure was 1 atm and the temperature was 37oC. On this day 1 L sample of atmospheric gases was collected and analyzed. It was found to contain among other gases 9.38 x 10-3 mol of O2 gas, 2.46 x 10-8 mol of H2 gas and 1.79 x 10-4 mol of water vapor. If you put these amounts of the three gases in a sealed 1L tank at 1 atm and 37oC, will the...
