Suppose a strong wind is blowing toward Denver (elevation 1630 m) from Grays Peak (80 km west of Denver, at an elevation of 4350 m), where the air pressure is 5.60×104 Pa and the air temperature is -10.0 ∘C . The temperature and pressure in Denver before the wind arrives are 2.0 ∘C and 8.12×104 Pa. By how many Celsius degrees will the temperature in Denver rise when the chinook arrives?

The mass of a hot-air balloon and its cargo (not including the air inside) is 200 kg. The air outside is at 10.0C and 101 kPa. The volume of the balloon is 400 m3. To what temperature must the air in the balloon be warmed before the balloon will lift off? (Air density at 10.0C is 1.244 kg/m3.)
During the first quarter of the year, a specific location in Aurora had an average air temperature of 35°C and a pressure of 0.998 atm. What is the direct distance between this place and La Trinidad if the city is elevated at a 45° angle to this location? The pressure in La Trinidad is assumed to be 0.834 atm. Every 1000 feet of vertical elevation, the temperature of the atmosphere drops by about 1.2 degrees Celsius. What is the average temperature in La Trinidad this time of year (in degrees Celsius)? Assume that the air is still and behaves like an ideal gas.
Suppose a strong wind is blowing toward Denver (elevation 1630 m) from Grays Peak (80 km west of Denver, at an elevation of 4350 m), where the air pressure is 5.60×104 Pa and the air temperature is -12.0 ∘C . The temperature and pressure in Denver before the wind arrives are 2.0 ∘C and 8.12×104Pa. By how many Celsius degrees will the temperature in Denver rise when the chinook arrives? During certain seasons strong winds called chinooks blow from the west across the eastern slopes of the Rockies and downhill into Denver and nearby areas. Although the mountains are cool, the wind in Denver is very hot; within a few minutes after the chinook wind arrives, the temperature can climb 20 ∘C ("chinook" is a Native American word meaning "snow eater"). Similar winds occur in the Alps (called foehns) and in southern California (called Santa Anas).
At 26.0 m below the surface of the sea (density = 1 025 kg/m3), where the temperature is 5.00°C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.10 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0°C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface in centimeters?
A place has an average air temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 0.998 atmosphere during the first quarter of the year. What is the direct distance of this place from Baguio if the city is elevated at an angle of 45 degree with respect to this place? It may be assumed that the pressure in Baguio is 0.834 atm. The temperature of the atmosphere drops approximately 1.2 degrees Celsius for every 1000 feet of vertical elevation. What is the average temperature in Baguio during the first quarter of the year (in degrees Celsius)? Assume that air behaves as an ideal gas.
A bag of potato chips contains 2.00 L of air when it is sealed at sea level at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20.0°C. What will be the volume of the air in the bag if you take it with you, still sealed, to the mountains where the temperature is 7.00°C and atmospheric pressure is 70.0 kPa? Assume that the bag behaves like a balloon and that the air in the bag is in thermal equilibrium with the outside air. (1 atm = 1.01 × 105 Pa) a. 4.13 L b. 1.01 L c. 1.38 L d. 2.76 L

At 28 m below the surface of the sea (density of 1476 kg/m³), where the temperature is 6°C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 0.5 cm³. If the surface temperature of the sea is 22 C, what is the volume of the bubble immediately 3 before it breaks the surface? The acceleration .2 of gravity is 9.8 m/s² and the atmospheric pressure is 1.02 × 10° Pa. 3 Answer in units of cm°.
8. A tourist rents a jeep in Hilo where the temperature is 20 °C and the absolute atmospheric pressure is 1.01 x 10° Pa. She then drives up to the peak of Mauna Kea where the temperature falls to -5 °C. If the volume of the air in the tires does not change, what is the absolute pressure of the tires at the top of the mountain?

A bubble of air is rising up through the ocean. When it is at a depth of 28.0 m below the surface, where the temperature is 5.00°C, its volume is 1.05 cm³. What is the bubble's volume (in cm³) just before it hits the ocean surface, where the temperature is 20.0°C? Assume the average density of sea water is 1,025 kg/m³. cm³ Need Help? Read It
People that live at high altitudes often notice that sealed bags of food are puffed up because the air inside has expanded since they were sealed at a lower altitude. In one example, a bag of potato chips was packed at a pressure of 1.00atm and a temperature of 20.5 degrees celcius. The bag was then transported to Santa Fe. The sealed bag of potato chips then finds its way to a summer picnic where the temperature is 31.6 degrees celcius, and the volume of air in the bag has increased to 1.4 times its original value. At the picnic in Santa Fe, what is the pressue, in atmospheres, of the air in the bag?
The average coefficient of volume expansion for carbon tetrachloride is 5.81 x 10-4 (°C)-¹. If a 48.0-gal steel container is filled completely with carbon tetrachloride when the temperature is 10.0°C, how much will spill over when the temperature rises to 34.5°C? (Assume the coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is 11 × 10-6 (°C) −¹.) gal
