1. Compressibility and Expansion are the properties of gas that are used to operate the ballast tanks of the submarine. When water is pumped in, the air in the tank is compressed. When water is pumped out, the compressed air expands to fill the empty tanks.

2. Compressed gases must be kept away from heat sources and the containers must be handled with care. Increased temperature would cause the gas particles to move faster, and that would increase the pressure inside the container. Damaging a gas container could cause it to rupture or explode.

Page 68, continued

3. The compressibility of gases allows the gas spring to absorb the shock of opening or closing the hatchback.

4. At the same temperature, two gases will have the same average kinetic energy. Their velocity will vary in proportion to their respective masses.

5. As the balloon rises, the pressure outside will decrease, but the number of particles inside stays the same. The particles will continue to hit the side of the balloon pushing outwards. As the balloon rises, the gas inside will expand, filling all the space of the balloon.

Page 68, concluded6. In diffusion, a gas mixes gradually with another gas in

the container, until the particles are evenly distributed. In effusion, a gas escapes from a container though one or more small openings in the container, or through a porous barrier.

but if you needed all the air, you would need eight envelopes)

47. SATP is a higher temperature than STP (25°C vs. 0°C). According to kinetic theory at a higher temperature the molecules would move faster, and try to expand to a greater volume.

49. The air pressure in the tire is 190 kPa50. It would take 24 mol of gas51. Since the rubber ball is elastic, the volume can

increase. If the volume increases the pressure may not. In the propane tank the volume is constant, so the pressure must increase.
